My Breakfast Pie

The early morning grind can be the best time of day for some, for others not so much. Morning person or not, we often find ourselves rushing around to get our lives in order before work, before school, before the kids get up, before the sun rises.  

When talking meal prep, breakfast needs to be quick, but also delicious and nutritious - breakfast is after all, the most important meal of our day. I have become a big fan of these breakfast bakes, pies, casseroles, as much like overnight oatmeal, it's an easy prep, good on the go, eaten hot or cold - satisfaction guaranteed. My Breakfast Pie Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a pie plate with coconut oil, set side. For the bottom In a mixing bowl add together... 1 cup of blueberries, frozen or fresh 1 banana chopped 2 tables spoons of ground chia 1 tablespoon of ground flax 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon And a pinch of pink sea salt 

Mix them all up and pour it into your pie pan, set aside. 

For the top In you mixing bowl add... 1 cup of oats (I used quick oats for this) 1/2 quinoa flakes (I used Gogo Quinoa) 2 tablespoons of hemp protein 2 tablespoons of pea protein 1 scoop of either vanilla or chocolate protein powder (I use Bodylogix chocolate Vegan) 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 3/4 cups of water (start with a 1/2 cup then add more)  

Mix up the ingredients until you get a cookie dough texture so go slow with the water. Add the dough to the top of your fruit mix and press down. Bake for 25 minutes, cool for 15 minutes and enjoy!!  

Store it covered in the fridge - keeps nicely for 3 crazy mornings!
