I am firmly dedicated to knowing some easy breakfasts because in the morning there is so much to do right away. So I have loved making these the night before and storing them in the fridge to pop out for people when they need a little something. And it is always shocking how filling you find just one or two of them. You can actually put them in the freezer as well and they stay soft for eating. They are our utility snack, breakfast, and tasty enough to even be a dessert.
This was my first time experimenting with using wildflower honey and it is SO PLEASANT. For this recipe I used sioux honey – a raw and unfiltered honey you can find in most grocery stores or purchase online. This honey is a product of the usa and helps support local beekeepers and the pollination efforts beekeepers provide for all fruits and veggies.
ALSO IT SMELLS SWEETLY OF FLOWERS, AS IF HONEY COULDN’T ALREADY NOT BE MORE CHARMING.
