Oat-free breakfast.
ย ย ย โYou want a bite?โ I kindly asked. He did.
ย ย ย After chewing thoughtfully, he told me, โI donโt like it.โ
ย ย ย โWhy?โ I asked, โBecause itโs buckwheat?โ
ย ย ย โNo, it doesnโt have any sweet in it.โ
ย ย ย โWell, thatโs because itโs for breakfast!โ
And his snide reply?
ย ย ย โOh, excuse me. I forgot youโre a stickler for โno sweets for breakfast.'โ ย
Dessert for breakfast.
Fine. Iโll just eat the whole thing myself. Topped with peanut butterโฆ and chocolateโฆ Because heโs right. I believe breakfast is the best time to consume sweets. (The next best time is nap-time.)ย
Some of my favorites are:
- Banana Nut Butter Donuts
- Paleo Chocolate Sweet Potato Smoothie Bowl
- Easy Paleo Mocha Chia Pudding
- Almond Wanut Apple Crisp
No sharing required.
If your spouse is like mine, feel free to enjoy all of the non-sweetness of this wonderful breakfast alone. You might have to watch out for kids, though. Because even if youโre husband is like mine, your kids will still probably want to eat all your buckwheat breakfast brownie.
I guess thatโs just #momlife though, eh?
Also note to all you toddler-mom bakers: check for bouncy balls before scooping out the buckwheat flourโฆ

Buckwheat Breakfast Brownie
Free from grain, gluten, eggs, dairy, and refined sugar.
Ingredients
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
1 heaping tablespoon flax meal
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (I like to make my own)
6 tablespoons applesauce or mashed banana
1 teaspoon vanilla (I like to make my own)
6 tablespoons โ 1/2 cup water (less water if using applesauce, more if using banana)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 banana, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped dairy-free chocolate (I love to use my homemade honey-sweetened chocolate chunks!)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F and lightly grease a 6-inch baking dish or pie plate.
Whisk together dry ingredients, then make a little well in the center.
Add remaining ingredients to the well, then mix quickly and thoroughly.
Pour and smooth into prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until brownie springs back when lightly touched.
Spread with peanut butter and sliced banana, and sprinkle with chopped chocolate.
Devour.

Oh my goodness. I need this in my life. I also love Jesus, chocolate and want someone else to do my laundry. And I’m ALSO oat-intolerant. It’s like we’re sisters from another mother! No kids of our own, but the neighborhood kids always seem to end up on our doorstep.
This looks big enough for two people for breakfast. Now i have to run to the store to buy bananas……
Haha! Glad to ‘meet’ you, sister. ๐ I think this is big enough for two, though I can’t get my hubby to share it with me so I always eat it myself (oh darn!). ๐ I hope you enjoy it!
Brownie for breakfast :O this is amazing Raia! I love that it is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free…that ticks all my boxes! I’ve pinned this recipe because I know I’ll definitely be trying this soon! (And I’ll watch out for those bouncy balls in the buckwheat flour hahaha they get everywhere!)
Haha! Yes, they do. ๐ I hope you enjoy the brownie if you get a chance to make it! I love having healthy treats for breakfast. They make rough mornings a little better. ๐
Wow! You are speaking my language with this breakfast recipe ๐ Chocolate and peanut butter?! YUM!! Pinning for later.
Haha! Thanks, Sammi! ๐

This looks so good Raia! You know me and chocolate, I’d be happy to eat this for breakfast. And that adorable little glass with milk, so cute! Thank you for sharing this at Savoring Saturdays linky party.
