It’s got all the swirls of spicy-sweet cinnamon and sugary goodness, WITH cream cheesey-flavor, that you expect to experience in your life when you take the first bite into a fresh-from-the-oven paleo cinnamon roll, but in a wholesome, WAY EASIER, HELLO breakfast kinda form.

They’re pretty much the perfect way to feel like you started the day by eating healthy, without having to be sad about it.

It really just comes down to beating cream cheese with monkfruit and throwing an assortment of other ingredients (almond flour! Egg! Cinnamon! (duh) into a bowl, stirring it together, patting it into a pan (damp hands are the ticket!) and chucking it in the oven to return to your Netflix binge.

Priorities.

Rly Rly though. That easy. I should know because I made these eleventy billion times to get the cinnamon spice JUUUUST NICE.

Or just right. But “just nice” sounded VRY fancy-rhyming-person so I wanted to say it.

I actually was making an healthy peanut butter oatmeal breakfast bars to send along for Mr. FFF to eat during the week while he is at school and I had this little “ah-ha” moment of “what would happen if I used almond flour instead of oatmeal.”

Aaaand then I proceeded to change every other ingredient in this low carb breakfast bar recipe, and pray that my probably-would-have-for-sure-worked-if-I-only-changed-one-ingredient-recipe-experiment that once was would still work although it didn’t look ONE HAIR like it’s original recipe cousin. But, I mean baking with cream cheese worked for the keto cream cheese cookies so it had to work for these right?

Slight exaggeration. But you know where I’m coming from.

VRYYYYYY pleased to report back that this sugar free keto low carb breakfast bars recipe came out of the oven, shiny, new and TOTALLY DELICIOUS.

And then, like you should do to all good things in life to make them MORE GOOD, we added a cream cheese drizzle.

Don’t look innocent. We’ve all been there.
