Almond Orange Muffins (Vegan and Gluten Free)

I made you some Almond Orange Muffins!  The other day, I wanted to make some muffins.  I asked everyone in the Facebook group I run.

Several people mentioned Almond Orange Muffins.  I love that flavor combo, so that is what I made.   They came out so good!

Kids liked them too.  I am a big fan of almond flavored anything.  My Flourless Almond Joy Brownies and my Almond Joy Energy Bites are also good examples.   These healthy muffins would be great for on the go.

Coffee Chocolate Overnight Oats (Vegan)

Coffee Chocolate Overnight Oats.  I have another new overnight oats recipe for you!  This time it’s coffee chocolate vegan overnight oats.

We just moved into my inlaw’s house for the next 10 weeks as we begin our kitchen renovation.  I wanted to use my coffee extract in this recipe, but I realized I forgot to pack that and bring it over here.

So I ended up using a little strong brewed coffee to make these Coffee Chocolate Overnight Oats.  I will write the recipe for both if you prefer to use the coffee extract.  🙂

Chocolate Chip Chickpea Pancakes (Vegan)

I am always trying to sneak foods into my kids diets.  That is exactly what I did with these Chocolate Chip Chickpea Pancakes.

I got the idea to make these pancakes because I have been making these chickpea omelettes lately.  I make a savory version for myself, but I noticed that the chickpea flour had a sweet taste to it.

So I knew these Chocolate Chip Chickpea Pancakes would be good.  These are a little thinner than traditional pancakes, but very good.  Almost like crepes.

You guys!  My kids gobbled these up!  I love that they are getting a boost of protein and fiber with these.  So they will stay full longer.  That is something you don’t get with traditional pancakes.

These chickpea pancakes were a cinch to make.  They are vegan, gluten free and grain free.  The perfect healthy breakfast recipe.

One of the best parts of this recipe is that the only wet ingredient you need is water, so you can make the mix up and store it in the fridge for whenever you get the urge to have some pancakes.
