Pumpkin Chocolate Breakfast Bites (Vegan and Gluten-Free) | Quick Kid-Friendly Healthy Breakfasts

Whether you’re a kid or not, starting with a healthy breakfast can sometimes be a challenging thing.

You know the days that you wake up so hungry and you just want to take a piece of toast or cookie to guzzle down your coffee or tea?

Without a little planning, you’ll eat that high-sugar food, get lots of energy and crash before its even 10am!

So, if you can start one healthy habit this week, I would say make yourself a good breakfast. That means a breakfast with whole grain, protein, and healthy fat to keep you full.

This recipe is a solution. It’s kid-friendly, too. It’s made with oats, pumpkin, unrefined sugar, and peanut butter (but you can use any nut-free butter).

I love that these will freeze well and you can eat them for breakfast with some fruit and/or yogurt. Or, you could have them as a protein-packed snack with tea later in the day.

I added chocolate chips to mine, but you can keep it lower sugar by dusting over some cococa powder on top instead.

Why I love this recipe:

Great way to use extra canned pumpkin from a creamy pumpkin pasta I made
Prevents me from snacking on other unhealthy, sugary treats
Pumpkin is a great low-calorie food that’s filling
