Carrot cake for breakfast? Yes, yes I did. Now you can have your favorite spring cake for breakfast, guilt-free! You and your whole family can thank me later.

What staples will you need for this recipe:
- Almond Flour — Almond flour is a popular and delicious alternative to wheat flour due to its subtly sweet taste, high nutrition content, and low-carb attributes. It’s our baking favorite!
- Organic Coconut Syrup — Coconut nectar is great for topping baked desserts, ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal, and all kinds of sweet or savory foods. This is a wonderful sweetener to use in place of honey, maple syrup, or molasses.
- Coconut Sugar — A light brown all-natural sweetener that tastes a bit like classic brown sugar. We love using it as a replacement for white, refined sugar, brown sugar, and muscovado sugar in their recipes.
- Organic Coconut Chips — These crunch chips are the size of potato peelings and can easily be added to trail mix, granola, and many other foods.
- Himalayan Pink Salt — Pure, hand-mined salt found naturally occurring deep inside the pristine Himalayan Mountains of northern Pakistan. We love using this beautiful salt for all purposes.
- Organic Texas Pecans — Incredibly delicious and certified organic. These premium raw pecans are full halves, not broken into pieces. They are tender and crispy, a delight to snack on and to use in your desserts and dressings!
Stack them high and pour over Syrup, top with extra coconut chips or pecans, and enjoy!
