Refined Sugar-Free Sugar Puffs Recipe

In order to keep my PCOS symptoms at bay, I have been cutting out refined sugar from my diet. A lot of people think that it just means cutting out traditional desserts, pudding or bags of sweets. But if you check the label on a lot of savoury things, you can see that there is sugar everywhere. Its in pasta sauces, dressings, breads and cereal; even in yoghurt.

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals of the day. It can be hard to know what to have, especially when you’re busy and having to head off on the school run. So making things the night before is especially helpful. One thing I have been making quite a lot recently is sugar puffs, that are free of refined sugar. They can be had in a bowl with some nut milk, or my favourite way to have them is with coconut yogurt, berries and seeds. They are super versatile and also taste good just to nibble on as a snack. My kids like eating them this way and I’m happy for them to do so – much better than their sugar laden counterparts.

They are super quick to make, they making a tasty and filling breakfast and it is full of all things natural.
