Who doesn’t like a good muffin? They are so delicious and great for on the go too. I make double batches over the weekend and freeze them so I have easy breakfasts all week! Here are some of my fave recipes. Some are my own, and some are from around the web.
Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins. Do you like pumpkin? We eat it all year round. My husband likes to take muffins to work and I usually make these muffins, but I only had a small amount of oat flour.
So I decided to tweak the recipe a bit and make these Healthy Pumpkin Muffins. Not only are these healthy pumpkin muffins gluten free, but they also come with an extra boost of protein and fiber!
I used 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour to make up for the oat flour I didn’t have. Did you know that 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour contains about 31 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber?
You can read the complete nutritional facts in this source. It worked as a great replacement!
You guys! This Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Smoothie is the perfect smoothie to start your Valentine’s Day! It’s a chocolate smoothie with health benefits!
The recipe comes from Green Blender. Have you heard of them? Green Blender makes healthy eating easy!
The other day, we made a recipe that called for baking sweet potatoes. Well we ended up with more than we needed, so I pureed some to make these Chocolate Sweet Potato Muffins. These are delicious.
Dense, fudgy and filled with little bits of pecans. Marcus has been taking them to work all week. This recipe is easy and freezes well too. If you like chocolate, you may also like my flourless chocolate muffins and my chocolate coffee cookies.
This healthy muffin recipe is vegan and gluten free. If you are trying to get some more veggies into your kids, this is a good one to start with. Mine had no idea there was sweet potato in it!
I have a new smoothie recipe for you! This is my Strawberry Green Smoothie. I don’t know about you, but I had indulged a lot over the holidays. So after Christmas was over, I decided to quit all sugar, including maple syrup, for a while. It was HARD, but I did it! Once I had been sugar free for 3 days, I started a really good smoothie cleanse. It’s called the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse
I really enjoyed this particular cleanse because it allows you to snack in-between the smoothies. Some of the allowed snacks are nuts, seeds, fruits and veggies. You can also eat hard boiled eggs, but I didn’t because I am vegan. Another great discovery I made, was that water works just as well as almond milk when blending smoothies. I really didn’t even notice a difference! So I am using water from now on.
Caramel Apple Oatmeal is the recipe for today. If you have been following this blog for awhile, you know I am a huge fan of oats. Overnight Oats, Oatmeal Cookies, Slow Cooker Oatmeal or Energy Bites made with oats.
This slow cooker healthy oatmeal is not only easy, but it tastes awesome too. If anyone tries it in the Instant Pot, please let me know the results in the comments section of this post.
This no fuss healthy oatmeal recipe is gluten free and vegan. Cinnamon apples and oats, with a delicious caramel sauce. You can use either almond milk or water for the oats.
I chose water for these. This recipe makes a ton, so you will have healthy breakfast all week long. 🙂
