Cashew, Flax and Oat Rounds
Looking for a versatile bread alternative that can be eaten several times? This nutritious recipe has evolved to accommodate dietary restrictions while packing in wholesome ingredients. I've replaced eggs with flax eggs and incorporated protein-rich oats for added texture. The rounds are delicious with either sweet toppings like maple syrup or savory spreads like hummus. Also, the rounds are perfect just toasted on their own. This adaptable recipe works perfectly for both breakfast and lunch or just a snack. Prepare this once and eat multiple times as it refrigerates and freezes well.
