AIP Breakfast: What to eat?

Breakfast seems to stump many people when they first embark on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).  There’s no shortage of AIP Breakfast recipes out there, and there’s always the option of eating last night’s leftovers, but sometimes you don’t want to cook or reheat food.  And you want something crunchy.  Reeeally crunchy.

Make some crunchy AIP breakfast granola

I don’t really consider myself the crunchy granola sort but I actually do love food with crunch and I’ve been loving matcha for over 20 years now, so it was only natural that I tried to marry these two loves of mine together by making granola.  Thankfully granola can be made AIP.  No oats?  No problem.  Tigernuts take centre stage here!  When in flake/ slice form, they resemble big pieces of rolled oats and become wonderfully crisp when toasted.

Initial effort = Fruitful outcome

This recipe requires your initial effort in making the granola, but once that’s done, it’s a simple matter of pouring it out, mixing it with coconut milk or tigernut milk (horchata), and some berries!  An AIP breakfast you can fall back on especially when you need to rush out of the door.  Just don’t make it a daily habit, ok?
