Do you eat in the morning?

I do! And sometimes it’s even my favorite meal.

Almost 4 years ago, I cut out flour and sugar from my diet. I know that for many, this may seem IMPOSSIBLE – even for me at first it was like a mountain whose summit was impossible to reach!

I love bread (especially fresh from the oven!). I like pasta – any kind. I like desserts and chocolate.

Notice how I say I love and not I loved? That’s intentional.

Just because I don’t eat it anymore doesn’t mean I’ve stopped loving it! HAHAHA!

And sometimes I feel that my willpower is about to break. But it doesn’t. I repeat to myself the same phrase I used when I cut out cigarettes (Yes. I’ve already smoked!).

My great line?

Whether I eat it all or not, the craving will pass. And it does!

Where am I going with this?

I told you that breakfast is sometimes my favorite meal. Because some mornings, it’s a fiesta on my plate!

Here’s my “Fiesta Breakfast” recipe.

Ingredients for the cake

• 1 banana (or 4 on of banana) mashed (I mashed potato with a fork)
• 1 egg
• ½ on nut butter (I usually use natural peanut butter or hazelnut butter depending on what’s at home)
• 1/4 T uncooked quick oatmeal.
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ tsp vanilla
• 1 pinch cinnamon

Mix together and place in a ramekin or mug.

Microwave for 3 minutes.

Once cooked, place on a plate and top with the “sauce”.

Ingredients for the “sauce

• ½ on walnut butter
• 1 to 2 tablespoons hot water

Mix the two with a spoon and, if necessary, add a little water to obtain a sauce consistency (but not too liquid).

You can also choose to garnish with 1 tablespoon full-fat plain yogurt in place of the “sauce”.

Garnish with 2 on of berries or banana pieces.

Voilà!

Not only is it tasty, it’s also a satisfying portion!

No flour. No added sugar.

Full of energy and happy tummies!

Let me know if you give it a try.

And as Julia Child would say, Bon Appétit!

Laughter, joy and health
