Heath benefits

Because of the high nutritive quality of the ingredients, the “better than bread”:

• Releases energy slowly after eating (avoids the peak-then-crash that can come with eating fast carbs)

• Keeps you full longer because it is high in protein and good fibers

• Supports your brain with healthy fats

Looking at the superstar ingredients one by one:

• Oats are rich in a particular fiber called beta-glucan which helps with satiety, blood sugar control, and other benefits. The less processed, the better (old fashioned oats are better than instant oats and so on)

• Skyr is high in protein and low in fat. I use sheep skyr in this recipe because I don’t tolerate cow milk products. I have also made the recipe with sheep yoghurt, and it works just as well

• Eggs provide high-quality protein and vitamins

• Almonds are rich in vitamins and a good source of healthy fats
