I am always on the hunt for a healthy, whole grain breakfast recipe that isn't too dense and dry.
One that my kids will have no clue is healthy for them too. I found this recipe in this month's Self magazine and did a little adapting to my likes. My kids and husband gobbled them down.
Hope you enjoy them too!
