I am not one who craves variety for breakfast, the resolution has sort of forced it on me. Now I'm always on the lookout for something yummy, but still worth the PointsPlus.

If made to recipe and split into 12 servings, this recipe is 5 PointsPlus. I suppose you could split this into about 18 servings to cut down on the PointsPlus value, but I wouldn't recommend it. This serving size is satisfying.
I made these to be sort of a quick grab-and-go breakfast. Plus, it's using my new favorite food, quinoa (pronounced: keen-wa)! These have a pretty apparent quinoa flavor with a very mild sweetness from the maple syrup. The first one I ate, I put a little I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray on it. I'd definitely make these again. Very good.
