Non-fattening gourmand breakfasts for when you feel like sweet

There are times when the oatmeal porridge, the whole wheat toast with tomato and the natural yogurt with nuts fall a bit short to satisfy the sweet tooth that we get from time to time . For this reason, we have proposed to find 5 different types of breakfast that take away your craving but without having a negative impact on your health because they do not contain any sugar. Any of them would be approved by Carlos Ríos himself, our nutritionist and blogger, so there is nothing to worry about.

Croissants filled with chocolate and almonds

Nothing compares to having a warm, crunchy croissant for breakfast with a cup of coffee.

Brownie cookies

What a richer mix, chocolate brownie cookies. You can't ask for more for a breakfast unless, freak out, they're made from chickpeas. Yes, yes, and the taste is not noticeable. You need a pot of cooked chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of pure cocoa, a little vanilla essence, 1 sachet of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 10 hydrated and made paste dates. Mix everything well, make balls with the dough, decorate with a few ounces of chopped 85% chocolate and bake for 10 minutes at 180º.
