| Paleo cinnamon biscuits |
Ahhh, Breakfast. The "Most important meal of the day" I used to shrug that off, but there is actually some truth to it. What you eat for breakfast can set the tone for your entire day. This becomes a challenge when you eat paleo because the door to normal breakfast food seems to slam in your face leaving you sad and hungry. No Oatmeal? Cereal? Granola? Not even CRUNCHY granola? You eat HOW many eggs a week????
You think, oh breakfast is simple. I'll just grab a piece of fruit.
But then you're starving in half an hour and having had a sugar rush you're needing protein in a bad way. Fruit sugar is still sugar after all, and should be balanced with other nutrients.
So the routine of eggs begins. How many ways can you cook an egg? Go google scrambled eggs and see just how many ways there are to do THAT. (Yes, I'll post my own recipes for scrambled eggs at some point)
You begin to step out of the breakfast box and eat things like cold Meatballs out of the fridge and a slice of cantaloupe. Or a leftover hamburger patty, even tossing some pork chops in a skillet or my absolute favorite, a veggie laden Salmon fritatta.
But sometimes you miss the old favorites. Pancakes, waffles, biscuits. Cinnamon biscuits? I have a very nice recipe for biscuits, how hard could it be? So I whip up my biscuits, add some honey, cinnamon, and allspice and... well, they're actually really yummy! I don't make them often. I don't like to start the day with much that's sweet, but these are not overwhelming and make a very nice treat.
Cinnamon Biscuits;
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 glob of chilled coconut oil. It's about a heaping TBSP
4 eggs
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp cinnamon
sprinkle allspice or nutmeg
dash of ginger (optional)
Start out by cutting the coconut oil into the dry ingredients, then, add the eggs and honey. Let it sit for those precious 10 minutes, and then spoon out and bake. About 10 minutes in a 400* oven.

Super easy, and delicious! And since it's made with coconut flour, rich in nutrients, fiber and protein instead of empty carbohydrates.
