Eat This Instead: Bacon Avocado Tomato Breakfast Cakes {Gluten-Free}
By admin
One of my favorite summer sandwiches is a BAT… Bacon Avocado Tomato. Of course using local, picked from the vine tomatoes.
Nothing beats a fresh garden tomato! And then there’s avocado… let’s face it, avocado makes EVERYTHING better.
Last week, Dan challenged me to make a breakfast cookie. I was game, until I started playing around in the kitchen.
I wanted something more on the savory side. Something that would fill me up and deliver a healthy dose of both protein and fat.
So I changed the plan up a bit.
Instead, I decide to make savory breakfast cakes.
Inspired by the local heirloom baby tomatoes I picked up at EarthFare and some insane donut creations I’ve seen over the years (such as the one from Doughnuts And Deadlifts below)…
I decided it was time to push away the classic pancake and donut batter recipe for something a bit more insulin friendly.
More to come later, but we’re in the middle of some blood sugar and carb intake experiments, so I wanted to keep both on the low side for this recipe.
All I have to say is, holy moly… DELICIOUS.
I have enjoyed eating a cake with a runny egg smack on top and a dash of hot sauce. Plus with the combo of fatty avocado and protein filled eggs, this breakfast is extremely filling while being kind to your waist line.

Super easy (because that’s how I roll) and super delicious.
