Notes

Vegan Swap: Use 2 flax eggs and plant-based protein powder.
Blood Sugar Support: High fiber + fat slows glucose response. Sub basil seeds for chia seeds for increased fiber and vitamins & minerals.
Cortisol Support: Cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity; pears offer low-glycemic sweetness.
Easy Ways to Boost Protein (Without Changing the Recipe)
While this breakfast bake is naturally balanced, pairing it with an extra protein source can be especially helpful if you’re:
  • Managing cortisol imbalance
  • Lifting weights or strength training
  • Needing longer-lasting energy through the morning
Try serving it with:
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut milk yogurt on top
  • Skyr or Icelandic yogurt for a higher-protein option
  • A scoop of collagen peptides stirred into coffee or tea alongside breakfast
  • A side of scrambled or soft-boiled eggs
  • Nut butter drizzle (almond or cashew) for an added protein + fat combo
These simple add-ons help increase satiety and further support blood sugar stability—without turning breakfast into another complicated decision.
