Breakfast Can Be Beautiful (Breakfast Bites)

These delicious and beautiful breakfast bites are light and dainty - perfect for breakfast on the go. I have served them with my Nutty for Chocolate spread and a strawberry on top, which makes the most divine combination! Happy Baking :)

Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients: 

• 35g Maize flour
• 35g Coconut flour

• Optional: 25g of carob/cacao powder (for a rich chocolaty breakfast bite!)
• OR/ Optional: 1tsp of lemon zest and 1tsp of lemon juice (for a light lemon bite - I wouldn't mix this with the chocolate option or cinnamon option, but I'll let you decide!)
• OR/ Optional: 1/2 - 1tsp of cinnamon (for a cinnamon swirl bite - could mix this with the carob/cacao for a tasty cinnamon and chocolate bite)
