Who doesn't salivate at the thought of delicious

That's why we show you 4 alternatives for healthily breading foods. Breading with Oats If you've ever wondered, What can I bread with if I don't have bread?, use a healthy and very basic ingredient that we all have in the kitchen: oats. You can grind it with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil or bread chicken cutlets with whole flakes. You can bread your foods with oats as they not only have high fiber properties but also contain iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and provide more fatty acids than other cereals, according to the Spanish Foundation for Nutrition (FEN). Breading with Quinoa If you're craving
breaded fish, quinoa is another ideal bread substitute to take care of your health, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
breaded with quinoa provides foods with up to 23% more protein and contributes minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins C, E, B1, B2. If you use quinoa for your foods, you can bread without eggs and replace it with a little milk or make a mixture of quinoa, salt, pepper, and mustard to stick the quinoa with olive oil. Salmon turns out particularly good this way. Breading with Almonds Almonds are the nut with the highest protein index and the most monounsaturated fats, as well as vitamin E, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus, so they are also an excellent alternative for breading without bread. It is worth mentioning that besides almonds, you can use other nuts and they will give an extra crunchy texture to your dishes, in addition to adding more flavor to your vegetable oils. In this case, it's better to completely crush the almonds and stick them with mustard to your dishes. Try this
