Well this was a recipe waiting to happen. I have been INSANELY busy and am off to Melbs in the morning on a last minute business trip, (when I say morning, I use the term loosely, it is more like the middle of the night and I am not that happy about it.) However I digress.

But, I had a family function on Saturday (we put the FUN in dysFUNctional) and I was asked to bring breakfasty stuff....breakfasty stuff? Oh the range that conjures up. Anyway, I wanted something festive, easy and very breakfast and I don’t mind saying, these were snaffled, nay, inhaled, and all gone in a heartbeat, or maybe a breath is more appropriate. Anyhoo, delish, easy, gluten free (go me) and Christmassy...AND breakfasty. Ticks all the boxes. Nailed it.
