A delicious, grain free, bread that will have your family coming back to the breakfast table in the mornings.

This breakfast bread is packed with protein plus antioxidant rich cherries and dark chocolate, it’s about to become your new favorite breakfast.

Let’s break it down, shall we?

Cherries

Cherries, aside from their festive red coloring (hello holiday season) boast a whole lot of great nutritional benefits.

Anthocyanin is what gives cherries their deep, rich color and is the flavonoid is responsible for things like reducing inflammation aiding in pain relief.  It’s ability to lower blood sugar levels is exceptionally beneficial in the treatment and reduction of type 2 diabetes. So yeah, I like cherries.

Almond Flour

As for almonds, we all know they’re rich in protein but they also pack lots of healthy fats, fiber, magnesium and vitamin E. Just like cherries, almonds help to lower blood sugar levels, and have been shown to reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels. And if you’re looking to snack, almonds are a great snack to tide you over until your next meal.

Cardamom

Cardamom, like cinnamon is packed with phytonutrients, especially manganese. Manganese is a trace mineral that helps the body form connective tissue, bones and sex hormones. It’s also critical for brain function and plays a role in carb and fat metabolism, plus it aids in calcium absorption and the regulation of blood sugar. Cardamom has also been shown to help with the natural treatment of cancer and diabetes.
