HEALTHY BREAKFAST PIZZA

Whoever said pizza is not a breakfast food hasn’t experienced the “breakfast pizza”!   It’s a fun way for your family to start the day and your kids will never head to school on an empty stomach again.  Have I convinced you yet?  The crust is a simple healthy granola base and you select your favourite sauce and toppings.  No need to feel guilty if you find yourself reaching for another slice.  It’s jam-packed full of nutrients!

The leftover crust is freezer friendly as well.  Leave a slice on the counter for 20 minutes to thaw and add your toppings.  Makes a perfect snack or dessert.

Preheat oven 350F

Mix all dry ingredients (first 6 ingredients) in medium size bowl and set aside.

Add nut butter, vanilla extract, rice syrup, coconut oil and milk to large pot and heat over medium/high heat. Stir constantly until bubbling.  Turn off heat immediately and stir in dry ingredients until well coated.

Press granola crust firmly and evenly into a lined 12” pizza tray.  I use a plastic bag like a mitten to help press the granola down.  BE CAREFUL AS GRANOLA IS HOT.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.  Edges will appear slightly golden brown.

To serve several people:  Spread sauce over crust and add toppings.  Slice and serve immediately.

To customize:  Cut pizza into slices and everyone can personalize their own.

For either option be sure to cut into slices while still warm.
