This simple recipe combines all the great flavors of fall into a bite-size, powerhouse of nutrition. Spices have long been prized for their medicinal benefits and healing properties. This recipe combines many potent spices together with high fiber pumpkin, flax seeds, oats and finishes off with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant cocoa powder.
I make a batch of these every couple of weeks and keep them in the refrigerator. They make an easy breakfast, or snack, on busy days when I am running around. Like all recipes, you can play with this and customize the flavors to suit your taste.
