Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Crisps

These Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Crisps are super food studded, nutritious snacks that are the perfect post workout treat!

Happy Thursday friends!

Like I said, I’m not going to beat myself up and go to the gym everyday. It’s just not a realistic goal for me, but I am going to put in a better effort this year.

I’m also making major changes to my diet; what foods I eat, cutting down on my snacking in between meals, and swapping out some not so healthy ingredients for healthier ones in some of my favorite recipes.

That’s where these Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Crisps come in.

I saw something similar at the market recently and I bought a box.

I opened one of the packets inside, tasted one, and I have to say, I wasn’t overly impressed. Way too sweet.

Since I liked most of the ingredients they incorporated into the bars, I decided I needed to work on creating my own less sweet customized version.

Say hello to my new favorite little pre or post workout treat!

These crisps boast a healthy list of super food ingredients which I’m so excited about!

They’ve got quinoa, oats, almonds, raisins, cinnamon and flaxseed. All super healthy and good for us!

To give these breakfast crisps their crispier texture I used coconut oil instead of butter and coconut palm sugar instead of brown sugar.

I bake them for 30 minutes until they’re nice and golden brown and then I let them cool before I break them into crisps.
