Clean Eating Bread Crumbs

I love bread crumbs.

They are such versatile little crumbles. You can make breaded baked chicken with them, add them to meat loaf or to meat balls!

The problem with the bread crumbs you buy in the store is they always have something in them that doesn’t qualify as clean. And since they are so simple to make, I haven’t purchased them at the store in years.

Here’s how to make them.

Clean Eating Bread Crumbs
(Makes 3 servings)

Ingredients
2 slices clean, whole grain bread
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder

Directions

Step 1 – Toast your bread. Make sure it’s well toasted, even if you have to toast it twice. Then, let it sit out for a few minutes to cool completely. You want the bread to be dry, dry, dry.

Step 2 – Break up the bread so you can get it into a processor and add all your other ingredients as well.

Step 3 – Blend until you have a relatively fine mixture, and you’re done!

Store these in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

Let your munchkins toast the bread and add all the ingredients to the processor.
