Breakfast at Annie's

Eggs. The holy grail of cheap, versatile protein. Key ingredient for survival, yet sometimes overlooked. Underloved. Unappreciated. Especially by me..... #guilty

I always have mega plans to do some boss recipes featuring my beloved eggies.... (fried egg on burgers, carbonara, egg pies, monte cristos) but rarely to I ever follow through. For me they mostly end up in a microwave muffin, hard boiled, or in french toast.

 Yes, this. 

But Annie, why don't you just eat them for breakfast?...

I had my fill of eggs for breakfast a few years ago.... When I basically lived on egg whites, cottage cheese, salad and tuna. Since then eggs for breakfast kind of make me feel sad and unsatisfied. Done with that ish.

Plus in the morning I just can't stomach huevos rancheros or a fritatta. Bacon is even touch and go for me in the AM. Ugh and those egg muffins all over pinterest? Noooooo..... broccoli is not for breakfast.

Breakfast + Savory ≠ Happiness

I MUCH prefer sweeter breakfast foods. And honestly? I could eat breakfast for every meal of the day. Breakfast Brunch and Brinner. Rinse and also repeat. #mylife

Confession: I totally made a delicious peanut butter chocolate blueberry oreo protein shake this morning. But as soon as I made it I was like blah. Too cold. Want a knife and a fork. Want warm yumminess. So the shake was out. I wanted something high protein and lower in carbs... but I digress.... NO BROCCOLIS OR BACON. (But that combo gives me great thoughts for lunch...)

Enter the sweet omelette. I know, it sounds weird. But trust me on this one. This omelette is packed with protein, fibre (thanks to the coconut flour), and healthy fats! Plus the ingredient list is pitifully short. And it takes next to no time to make. Balance your meal with some fruit on the side and you've got a bangin' breakfast that'll make your tummy smile.

Plus it's beautiful. And makes you feel fancy when you eat it. Everyone loves beautiful fancy foods.

Shush Annie, it's breakfast time :)

Coconut Sweet Coconut Breakfast Omelette
Serves 1

For The Omelette:
2 Eggs
1 TBSP Coconut Flour
1 Packet of Sweetener (I like Splenda)

Coconut Oil (for the pan)

Choice of fillings:
Fresh Fruit
Chocolate Chips
Yogurt
Peanut Butter
Nutella
Syrup
Coconut Oil
Toasted Nuts (almonds, coconut, pecans, walnuts, macadamias)
Butter
Powdered Sugar
Splenda

Preheat a frying pan to medium/high heat and add a little coconut oil to grease the bottom.

Mix all omelette ingredients until well combined. This might take a minute or so... Coconut flour is a sponge and soaks up A LOT of liquid! But just keep mixing!

Pour your omelette mixture into your frying pan (you can do one big one or two smaller ones!) and let cook for about a minute. Flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds (or until the egg is just cooked)

Serve with your choice of fillings and enjoy! This recipe is high protein, low carb, low calorie, and delicious!

My Version:

Spread a little coconut oil on top (trust me....) and sprinkle with chocolate chips and some powdered sugar!

I served mine with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and chocolate peanut butter greek yogurt! And TWO servings of The Blacklist.... <3
