Toasted Coconut Overnight Oats

New overnight oats recipe for you guys today.  This time it’s Toasted Coconut Overnight Oats.  If you haven’t tried overnight oats before, I suggest you try.  They are seriously life changing. You can make up a week’s worth at a time for easy and healthy breakfasts all week.  Since they come in a jar, they are easy for you to take to work as well. I love the combination of the toasted coconut and the almonds.

I used steel cut oats in my recipe because I like the crunch that retains. If you like a smoother oatmeal, you can use rolled oats.  These can be eaten hot or cold.  Whichever you prefer. I like mine cold because they remind me of cereal.

Peanut Butter Cup Muffins

Who doesn’t like peanut butter cups?  Well I made them into muffin form!  I slightly tweaked my recipe for double chocolate donuts for these Peanut Butter Cup Muffins.  These came out super good!  This would make a yummy breakfast for on the go.  There is also a good amount of protein in each muffin.  I made jumbo muffins for the photo, but you can also use standard muffins.

Blueberry Almond Scones (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Blueberry Almond Scones for you today.  A few weeks ago, a came across a recipe for Paleo Blueberry Scones.  It was on the blog Fed and Fit.  She has lots of great recipes!  Definitely check her out!

I have been craving scones for while now.  These were so delicious and I can see so many variations on this recipe in the future.

I deviated from the original recipe a bit, and I think it came out great!  If you enjoy blueberry recipes this time of year, you may also like my Blueberries and Cream Popsicles or my Banana Blueberry Muffins.

I love almond extract, so I try and add it whenever I can.  I went so well in these blueberry almond scones.

I also made mine vegan by using flax eggs.  I loved that the original recipe called for cashews as a base.  You all know I love making all my flourless cookie recipes with cashews!

I hope you enjoy it this as well.

4 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies

We are about to go on vacation and I needed to use up some bananas.  So I made these 4 Ingredient Banana Coconut Cookies.  These were a cinch to make!  Less than 20 minutes.

I added chocolate chips to mine, but that is totally optional.  I can see raisins also working well in this recipe.  These cookies are healthy enough for breakfast! 🙂

This recipe is super easy.  Vegan, gluten free and grain free.  I used quinoa flakes, so there is a nice protein boost in here as well. If you don’t want to use quinoa flakes, you can always use quick oats in place of them.  These cookies freeze great, so make a big batch and freeze some for busy mornings.
