A few years ago, I woke up at 3:30 am to head to the airport with my brother and hop on a flight to Arizona to visit our grandparents for Christmas. The roads were eerily black and empty at that early hour with only a handful of visible headlights and taillights glowing through the fog, but when we reached the airport…
It was a completely different story. In the second terminal from where our flight took off, the line for the security checkpoint stretched out and wrapped around the baggage claim twice, resulting in nearly a two-hour wait. And our flight left just 45 minutes later.
While I stood in the gigantic line and held our place, my brother scampered over to the first terminal, and only a couple of minutes later, he called me and told me to rush over to join him. “There’s zero line here!” he reassured me.
He was right, and we even made it to our gate with enough time to use the restroom before boarding. Whew!
As soon as we landed in Las Vegas for our one-hour layover, we walked around that terminal in search of food. Nearly five hours had passed since my alarm rang that morning, and I definitely needed breakfast!
Yet very few of the airport shops offered anything healthy. Instead, we found lots of sweet holiday treats: chocolate donuts with Christmas sprinkles, slices of maple glazed gingerbread, squares of jam-swirled streusel breakfast cake, and oversized eggnog flavored scones.
I ended up grabbing a simple banana and black coffee from Starbucks, but…
I would’ve loved a slice of this Healthy Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Breakfast Quick Bread too! It’s supremely moist, even with no refined flour or sugar, and it’s full of fresh bright cranberries and rich chocolate. (One of my favorite holiday flavor combinations!)
Even better? It’s simple to make (no mixer required!) and just 131 calories!
