Today I started my second Whole30, so in celebration (woohoo!) I’m bringing back one of my stand-by grain-free breakfasts. I hope you love it as much as I do, because this Paleo Oatmeal and bulletproof coffee make a regular appearance in my mornings! [Originally written 11/7/12]
One of my favorite breakfasts has always (well, maybe not always) been a bowl of oatmeal with a hot cup of coffee. But the paleo diet says ‘NAY!’ to oatmeal.
Which (((sob))). Until a few days ago when I was testing a dessert recipe that went all kinds of wrong. Well, wrong with respect to what I was going for, but so VERY right as a delicious oatmeal replacement!

Would this be ok for diabetics?

I’m not sure what diabetics are supposed to eat. If fruit is ok, then this should be fine 🙂
