~ raw, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free ~
When we get together with friends or family we tend to think of sharing lunch or dinners with them… not many people think of breakfast. When I sit and gaze at the photos that I took of this breakfast pizza, it immediately makes me think of Sunday morning brunch. And when it comes to making food for such an occasion, there really isn’t a need for going overboard.
This breakfast pizza is sophisticated, elegant, rustic, light, fresh, filling and nutritious. Who thought you could get all of that out of a pizza?!
The granola crust can be made several days in advance. It does require dehydration, but keep in mind, you don’t want to dry it to where it is hard and crunchy. This is meant to be enjoyed on a plate with a fork, so keep it on the softer side.
As far as the topping goes, you can use coconut cream, any non-dairy raw yogurt, or even a raw vegan, spreadable cheese. And the toppings… goodness, there really isn’t any end as to the possibilities. Keep it fresh and simple. And don’t afraid to add a savory herb into the mix. Fresh minced basil, rosemary, and mint are just a few ideas.
If you have children or have children visiting, divide the granola batter into small, individual size pizza portions. Build a buffet of an assortment of fresh fruits, yogurts or spreadable cheeses, nuts, and seeds… letting everyone build their our breakfast pizza. What do you think of this recipe? I would love to hear from you. Have a blessed day, amie sue

Good afternoon Lyn,
Awe, you are always so sweet. Did you try the recipe yet? I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Blessings and hugs, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue
I hope you are having a wonderful walkabout!
I made your breakfast pizza yesterday but to me it was dessert. :) I try to reduce my sugar intake so I only used half a cup of date paste, three Medjool dates and dried blueberries instead of dried cranberries, only because I didn’t have any cranberries in my pantry. It was crunchy and sweet and the crust paired lovely with the soft cream and fresh berries. I love that you used buckwheat! The left over crust my son will eat as granola in his morning yoghurt. Perfect! :)
I wonder if you might be able to help me with a question? I had a raw cinnamon ball the other day that tasted like a crunchy, moist cinnamon bun. I would like to try to recreate it but I don’t have the amounts, only the ingredients; almonds, dates, shredded dried coconut, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and salt. I would so appreciate any suggestions you might have in regards to approx. amounts.
Thank you Amie Sue for another great recipe! :)

Good afternoon Veronica,
I am sorry that it took me a bit to respond to you. I have been on a “walk about” for the past 6 weeks (see blog posting). I am not fully integrating back into things but I wanted to start tackling some of the questions that have been collecting. :) All that to say, I appreciate your patience with me. :)
It is always a pleasure to hear from you. We really enjoyed this breakfast pizza too. A person can really play around with it, creating many different flavors. Thanks for sharing your experience with me/us. :)
Regarding the cinnamon balls… can you please email me at [email protected] with this request. I am not yet integrated back into recipe developing from my walk-about. I am in my healing stage but I would love to help you with this as I can. Having in my email inbox will help me to remember. :)
I hope that you are enjoying your weekend, hugs and blessings, amie sue
Looks beautiful! So creative as well :)
Must try it!

Ms. Amie?!!?
How did I miss this treat!
Yesterday, while I was at the super market; on a whim I picked up a pommegranate, red grapes( that I rarely purchase) and dried cranberries. I have buckwheat groats on the “TO SOAK” list for tonight.
Guess what I’m going to whip up tonight! :) If it looks as pretty as yours I will post it on FB!
It’s been a while since I have posted on your FB page or here. I’m glad to be a member here! Keep up the amazing work you do! Thank you!
