Desserts for breakfast: Dessert lovers, good news for you! If you love to have sweet treats, you would like to have them any time of the day. But the common perception is to avoid sweets in breakfast as we are told since childhood that breakfasts should always be healthy.
But did you know desserts could be healthy too? So, if you want a sweet breakfast, we bring you a list of desserts you can try for breakfast. They taste good and are also nutritious enough to begin your day with.
Light on sugar and heavy on things like whole grains, they are great grab-and-go option when you have little time in the morning.
No-Bake Granola Bars
Loaded with honey, chocolate chips, and dried nuts and fruit, these chewy bars make a sweet treat to go with your cup of tea, coffee. Rolled oats, wheat germ, and ground flaxseeds give them enough heft to work as a satisfying breakfast, too. Flaxseeds are a top vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linolenic acid (ALA).
Carrot cake breakfast cookies
You may frown upon cookies for breakfast. But when they’re this wholesome, they make a perfect treat in the morning. Spiced with cinnamon and ginger, these hearty whole-wheat biscuits contain beta-glucan, a kind of fiber found in oats that acts as a prebiotic, fueling the healthy bacteria that keeps your gut healthy. Add walnuts and do some good to your heart.
Baked apple cider donuts
These baked donuts are not fried, are crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and lower in saturated fat than the traditional kind. To cut back on sugar, use less of the cinnamon topping. You can also opt to make less-caloric donut holes as a snack or dessert.
Banana coffee cake
Get the best of both worlds with this mash up of banana bread and coffee cake. It will give you a dose of potassium too. One medium banana also delivers one-quarter of the vitamin B6 you need in a day. Cut a thinner slice for a snack or dessert.
Strawberry oatmeal bars
These fruit bars are rich in flavonoids, plant compounds that can help prevent the cognitive decline associated with aging. Half a serving per day is associated with a 20 percent lower risk. Add oats and whole-wheat flour for filling fiber — nearly 7 grams per bar — and you have are one satisfying square.
