    Healthy Homemade Breadcrumbs

    Healthy homemade breadcrumbs. I had no idea it was this easy to make breadcrumbs. I will never buy them at the store again. This recipe is amazing and a definite must make! #Healthy

    We're making breadcrumbs today.

    Annnd we're making them healthier!

    Honestly, is there a better way to use stale bread, or those pesky end pieces that nobody likes? I sure don't think so.

    I got the idea for this post because, well, a few of my upcoming recipes feature them. However, if you've never made your own breadcrumbs before, you might just be surprised by how easy they are to make. Seriously, after I show you this you'll never have a reason to buy breadcrumbs again...promise.

    If you do make these breadcrumbs, don't forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef on Instagram
    And of course, you can always watch this recipe, and many many more on The Diet Chef YouTube Channel

    So lets get to the recipe!

    Macros (¾ cup or 75g) will vary though depending on the bread used - I used Schwebels:
