I had to start with the recipe for no oat oatmeal. It's the one thing that I would say got me through the Whole30 plan and made the paleo diet livable at the beginning. I found this recipe after a few days into the diet. Now, I know you will be skeptical because we certainly were, and the whole thing has a Dickensian air about it, but this is absolutely my favourite. Sam and I eat it every morning and (like all breakfast foods) at other times of the day too. It's largely the recipe that can be found here, but I make it in a larger quantity because it really is labour intensive. I usually grind about 5 or 6 cups of nuts in my blender on a Sunday and they will keep me going for a week or so. I use a walnut/pecan/ almond mixture, but I imagine that any combination of nuts would do.
I whisk 12 eggs with 1 cup of almond milk. Then I blend 4 or 5 bananas and then add 2 large tablespoons of almond butter. I add the blended mixture to the eggs/almond milk and mix with the whisk. Then I add 2 cups of ground nuts, 1/2 cup Trader Joe's ground flax seed with blueberries, some vanilla, ground ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix it all together and then cook in a pan until it's done. I tend to leave it a little underdone so that it's not overcooked when we microwave it. I make a batch on Sunday and put a portion into 5 containers. I add some blueberries and strawberries to each one and I take them to work on Monday and put in the fridge. Then I have my breakfast organized for the whole week. Sam puts raisins with his and the same fruit that I do. Please, Sir, can I have some more?????
