Three Delicious Breakfast Recipes with Mary’s Gone Crackers
This post was sponsored by Mary’s Gone Crackers
I’m often asked about my favorite substitute ingredients, especially gluten free alternatives for baking and breakfast. That’s why I’m sharing some simple and delicious breakfast recipes that are gluten free, and feature Mary’s Gone Crackers. If you’re gluten free or nut free, then you’ve surely heard of Mary’s. They make seed-based crackers that are gluten free, vegan, and free from many common allergens. I enjoy their crispy crunchy texture. In this post I’m featuring 3 flavors. Head to their website to see the full lineup.
These crackers are a versatile pantry staple. Not only do they make an easy healthy snack, or addition to a charcuterie board, but you can crush them up, use for scooping, or break them up to create a crust. In this post I’m doing all three.
Stuffed Dates and Cracker Meal Oatmeal
Enjoy the stuffed dates on their own or as part of a meal like this oatmeal. You can store them in the fridge for a day if making ahead.
Why add cracker meal to a bowl of oatmeal? Mary’s crackers are packed full of whole seeds, meaning all of that toasty, “nutty” taste and texture holds up in a bowl of oats. If you enjoy the taste of seeds in your oats, then you’ll love this recipe. It adds a whole new dimension of taste to basic oatmeal.
Peanut free, nut free, dairy free, egg free, wheat and gluten free
Ingredients
4 pitted dates
1 tbsp Sunbutter sunflower seed butter
½ cup dry quick oats (purity protocol gluten free)
1 cup rice milk or gluten-free oat milk
10 crushed up Mary’s Gone Crackers Jalapeno Crackers, or Mary’s Gone Crackers Original Crackers
sesame seeds, cinnamon, fresh stone fruit for garnishing
First make the stuffed dates. Slit the dates down the center to open them up. Plop in a dollop of sunflower seed butter, then roll the dates in the crushed crackers to add crunch. Set them aside.
Heat the rice milk or oat milk in a small saucepan until almost boiling. Add the oats to a cereal bowl and pour the hot mylk over top. Cover with a plate and let steam for 3 minutes. Remove the plate and fluff the oats with a fork. Add the remaining crushed crackers on top of the hot oats, as well as a sprinkle of cinnamon, sesame seeds, and fresh stone fruit such as cherries or sliced peaches.

Crunchy Top Egg Muffins
Moist and fluffy egg muffins are beautifully complimented by filling kidney beans and crunchy seed-filled crackers. More filling and satisfying than your typical egg muffin, these make a nice take away breakfast as they pack well in an airtight container. Take them to the park, or the couch, or wherever you work from from these days!
