Trying to cut down carbs, I baked my own breakfasts for a season, using ground almonds instead of flour.

This has become my go to breakfast and my contribution for pot lucks because it's so quick and easy to bake.

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

• 2 cups ground almonds
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of baking soda
• chocolate chips (up to half cup)
• dried fruit (up to half cup)

Wet ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, depending on how strong you want the vanilla to be

Method

1. Line your baking tray
2. Preheat the oven at 190 degrees celsius
3. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl
4. Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl
5. Mix the wet mixture into the dry mixture
6. Shape the batter into balls. You could do mini scones of half a tablespoon each or regular scones at a heaped tablespoon each.
7. Bake for 11 minutes
8. Take it out of the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to let it continue cooking with the residual heat.

Enjoy!

These are excellent as instant breakfasts too. Freeze what you want to keep and heat up when you want to eat.
