I love breakfast.

so much, that I’m always trying to create an “on the go” version of all my favorites.

With all the traveling I do, breakfast is usually the hardest for me to find gluten-free options. I make these little cakes all. the. time. Traveling or not, these are great to have on hand when hunger hits.

All the ways you can enjoy these little cakes. . .

• Breakfast on the go
• Packs perfectly in lunchboxes
• Post workout recovery snack
• Set out on your Brunch table – both kid and adult friendly

Of course I pack them in mason jars. I’m obsessed, I know.
