High Fiber Breakfast Squares

My clients have been asking me for something “muffin like” that they could have for breakfast or a snack. At first, I tried ONLY using GG cracker crumbs as my “flour” but wasn’t getting the right texture or flavor so I started playing around with some other ingredients.

Here’s the thing about healthy baking… it’s hard AF to come up with something that tastes good, has a good texture and doesn’t require tons of weird ingredients that are hard to find.

I tried to keep this recipe as simple as possible in terms of ingredients. If you don’t have GG crackers, you can substitute 1/4 cup of Wheat Bran. If you don’t have Bran Buds, you can do an equal amount of any other high fiber cereal. No truvia? Use your sweetener of choice.

In terms of almond milk, don’t use anything you wouldn’t drink on it’s own. I’ve been using Califia Farms unsweetened vanilla almond milk because I find the flavor to be  delicious and the texture to be creamy but you can use anything you have on hand.

If you don’t have Lily’s chocolate chips, you can use 1 tbsp of any chocolate chips that you want. It won’t affect the nutrition facts too much.

If you make these, tag me so I can share! @alixturoff_RD
