Our busy lifestyles have made us ‘on-the-go’ eaters more than we care for and snacking is often the guilty part of our day for lack of healthy options around. I was looking for a homemade alternative to my usual granola bars when I saw this recipe for mini blueberry breads in one of my Scandinavian cookbooks and decided to give it a try. Not only are these sweet and nutty breads healthy, they’re also perfect to carry around for when you need a little energetic snack.
With a mix of whole-wheat flour, rolled oats and plenty of walnuts and hazelnuts, the dough is a breakfast champion and blueberries add a touch of color, a little sweetness, and a good dose of antioxidants.
Few things you make at home will come as close to the comfort and smell of baking your own bread and these are no different.
Grab one while it’s still warm and spread a bit of butter for the ultimate treat.
They’re an obvious morning choice, but their not-too-sweet taste and abundance of nuts make them equally suitable for pairing with cheese, as a side to a salad, or to eat on their own whenever you feel hungry.
Like most Nordic breads I’ve tried, they’re on the dense/slightly heavy side and quite filling so one is all you need to feel satisfied.
You’ll feel much better having a batch of these at home to curb your snacking and will surely find their versatility extremely useful for whatever busy situation life will inevitably throw at you…
