We are well and truly in the midst of winter. The mornings feel close to sub-zero temps and more and more weekends are spent hibernating at home.
After a long and tiring work week and a busy Saturday running around, you wake up on Sunday morning (hopefully without an alarm) and all you feel like is a delicious, warm (and slightly naughty) breakfast that you can treat yourself to in bed. We totally get you—which is why when we came across this recipe recently, we knew we just had to share!
Not only does it cater to gluten-free diets, it contains a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen (which means no quick dashes to the corner store in your Uggs).
The even better part is that you can make it as healthy or unhealthy as you like by swapping (or leaving) a few things out—but you know what they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Enjoy!
