BERRY OMELETTE

Breakfast in bed

SERVES

This is the kind of Sunday Start to the Day I dream of a loved one serving me. With a pot of Earl Grey tea.

4 eggs

1–2 tablespoons rice malt syrup

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup (150 g) mixed berries (best fresh; if you use frozen, allow them to thaw and drain first)

mascarpone or full-fat organic plain yoghurt, to serve

Separate the eggs and whisk the syrup and yolks with a stick blender. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until thick and fluffy, then fold into the yolk and syrup
mixture.

Melt the butter in a 22-cm omelette pan over low heat. Pour in the eggs and sprinkle the berries over the top. Cook over low heat until the base is golden. Transfer the pan to
your oven grill and brown very slightly. The omelette should be firm but a little creamy.

Serve with the mascarpone or yoghurt.

SOLO COOKERS:
look out for individual-sized omelette pans (they exist) to make a solo serve. Note, however, you won’t need
to cook it as long in the smaller pan.

RAW BREAKFAST BALLS

MAKES

4 tablespoons natural, sugar-free and salt-free peanut butter

1 tablespoon rice malt syrup

½ cup (125 ml) coconut cream

¼ cup (50 g) coconut oil, melted

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup (50 g) coconut flour


cup (50 g) chilled cooked quinoa (see
here
)

½ cup (50 g) desiccated coconut, lightly toasted

In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, syrup, coconut cream and coconut oil. Add the salt, coconut flour and quinoa and mix to form a dough. Add a little more coconut
flour if the mixture is too runny to form into balls. Pinch off bite-sized pieces of the dough and roll into walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball in the desiccated coconut to coat. Store in an
airtight container and consume within 3 days.

Baked Variation:

PROTEIN COOKIES

Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas 6) and line a baking tray with baking paper. Flatten the previously prepared dough balls slightly and place on the prepared baking tray. Bake
for 8 minutes or until the cookies are starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
