You eat them for breakfast? Do they hold you over well?
Andrenna,
I actually had this as a side dish at dinner. I think it would make a nice breakfast though, but I’d have to bulk it up because I doubt it would hold me over. I’d probably leave out the nooch and add a good 1/4 c each of nuts and raisins, plus some sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg). Let me know if you give it a try!
