    Strawberry Banana Date Breakfast Cake

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I'm not one for an early-morning breakfast. Nope. In all honesty, I'm just not hungry at my usual stupid-o'clock-in-the-morning wake up time. When I arise, I want coffee, and lots of it, and food is almost always the last thing on my mind. Until about 10 a.m., when the ravishing hunger pangs hit me like darting punches to the stomach. I want food, and I want food right now, and I usually end up eating dinner-for-breakfast leftovers. I am often quite happy with this predicament. But, sometimes, I want a breakfast that tastes like a real breakfast. One that I don't have to cook, that I just have to eat. One that's already there in the fridge waiting on me to wake up. One just like this grain and gluten free strawberry banana date breakfast cake.
