Here’s a recipe that I simply cannot get enough of: Gluten Free Sweet Potato Breakfast Bars. Not only is it a nutritious way to start your day, it’s also incredibly delicious. The best part? They’re full of pumpkin pie spice, just to get in some of those fall flavors I’m craving. And, you know, pumpkin pie spice works in just about everything.

You can even make a batch of these bars and freeze them in individual servings. I grab one of these from the freezer in the morning, and microwave it for a minute when I get to work. The result? A warm, chewy, sweet bar of deliciousness that keeps me full all the way up to lunch time.

It’s hard to find gluten free breakfast-on-the-go ideas, isn’t it?

That’s why I love making these gluten free sweet potato breakfast bars. They’re just so easy to pick up and walk out the door with! And you can feel satisfied knowing that you did something healthy for yourself, instead of picking up the usual gluten free substitutes that are packed with sugar (or ::ghasp:: half the serving size of the real thing!).

Or, even worse, leaving with no breakfast at all!

No, coffee does not count as breakfast. 

…No matter how much I want it to.

I love this photo… So much.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you not to play with your food in the name of art, ok?

You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

You just don’t.

Let’s talk about Mondays. We all totally love Mondays, right? Monday rocks!

Just kidding.

But we can help it move along a bit more smoothly by getting breakfast ready ahead of time.

I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit of a mess in the morning. A hot mess, but a mess nonetheless. And if there’s something I can do to make my life easier/faster/smoother when I’m still sleep-walking through my daily routine, you can bet I’m going to try it.

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Breakfast Bars definitely fit right in here. gluten free sweet potato breakfast bars Did I mention that they’re full of delicious things, like pumpkin spice? That’s right. They’re not named pumpkin spice bars or anything, but you’ll definitely taste it in there. In all of its pumpkin-y glory.

You can also serve these hot or cold, but I’m going to go ahead and recommend straight-out-of-the-oven hot here.

That’s just my personal preference. 🙂
