As I browsed through the snack shelves this week, I discovered something new and interesting: Norwegian Baked Knekkebrød, a vegan, wheat & nut-free crispbread produced in a small facility in Brooklyn.

What’s your idea of the ideal snack? Hmmmm…..It should be yummy, of course. What else? For me, it should have a great texture, be healthy, and it should satisfy hunger, providing fuel for my day's activities. If it is a sweet snack, it shouldn't be overly sweet and, if homemade, it should be fun and easy to prepare, with lots of variations.

If you've ever enjoyed baked oatmeal, with a slightly crispy top and a soft, warm interior, you'll love this easy, portable spin on it. What I love about these breakfast treats is that they're healthy, they pair well with coffee, and once you make them, you've got breakfast for days.
