I know. These were supposed to be a healthy breakfast but then it turned into a sweet indulgence. They are worth it.
Whole Wheat and Flaxseed Meal makes you feel good about eating these. The maple cinnamon butter does too.
And I can’t forget the pumpkin.
I am determined to keep pumpkin in my diet forever – I mean it shouldn’t just be brought around the Holidays.
They look pathetic without butter.
