Peach Pie Overnight Oats

July 6, 2014July 6, 2014 Melissa King 19 Comments

I have a new overnight oats recipe for you! This time it’s peach pie overnight oats. These peach pie overnight oats came out very good. I pureed my peaches to put in this recipe, but you could also add chunks of peaches instead if you like.

One of the best things about overnight oats is that there is no cooking required! I make 5 at a time for easy breakfasts all week. You can eat them cold or hot. I eat them cold and it actually reminds me of cold cereal. If you wanted to make these more of a peaches and cream oats, you could add in some plain yogurt or cashew cream. Yum!

Blueberry Muffin Bites

I just love these blueberry muffin bites. Who doesn’t like a blueberry muffin? They remind me of the blueberry muffin larabar. In fact, I used similar ingredients. My daughter loves that flavor, so I thought I would make some for her. I’m sure by now, you know that I love homemade larabars. 🙂 These no bake bites came out so good! Not only are these delicious, but they are very easy to make!

These little yummy, no bake bites are vegan, gluten free, dairy free and egg free. You can probably make them grain free by using all cashews instead of the oats. This recipe is a perfect snack for kids too.

Oatmeal Cream Pies

There is just something about oatmeal cookies. Almost everyone loves them! Myself included. I know many people are fans of the oatmeal cream pies found in the snack section of your local grocery store. Well I decided to try a vegan and gluten free version of those! 🙂 Mine are oatmeal cream pies with a maple cream. They are delicious!

I made mine a little different. I added a maple cream because I just love maple syrup and they reminded me of the oatmeal cream pies I used to buy from Whole Foods. They were in the bakery. OMG so good! However, I don’t think they were vegan or gluten free. My recipe may not taste exactly like Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Cream Pies, but they are still delicious. Oil free and refined sugar free!

Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

Do you like carrot cake? You can have it for breakfast with this Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal. If you have been following me for a while, you know I love my oats and oatmeal. Baked oatmeal is a great way to take your oats on the go. Baked oatmeal is like oats in muffin form.

This healthy baked oatmeal is my latest creation. If you like this, you may also like my strawberry banana baked oatmeal or my almond butter chocolate baked oatmeal.

Another thing that makes baked oatmeal so great is that it can be made ahead of time. I usually make a double batch and stick one batch in the freezer. That way, if I am feeling lazy one morning, I have a healthy breakfast option to pull out of the freezer. Just reheat and you are good to go!

I must admit, I am not a fan of carrot cake anything. My husband is a huge fan of anything carrot cake, so he tasted tested these and gave his approval! It took me two tries to get this recipe perfect. I hope you enjoy it.

Coconut Strawberry Overnight Oats

Coconut Strawberry Overnight Oats. As you know, I just love my oats. And my favorite way to eat them is in the form of overnight oats.

Overnight oats, or Oats in a Jar, are so easy and you don’t even need to cook them! This coconut strawberry overnight oats is my newest creation.

You can make these with either rolled oats or steel cut oats. I like steel cut oats myself. They will retain a slight crunch that I like.

If you like a smoother oatmeal, feel free to use rolled oats instead. These overnight oats are gluten free and vegan. 🙂 If you are not gluten free, feel free to use regular oats. That is what I do. 🙂

Coconut Vanilla Granola (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Coconut Vanilla Granola. I have to admit, I am more of a vanilla girl than a chocolate girl. You could probably already tell that from my coconut vanilla overnight oats and my coconut vanilla chia pudding. I couldn’t get enough of this coconut granola.

It was so good! My picky 4 year old ate this up fast!

I have to admit, this recipe was actually supposed to be granola bars, but when I went to cut them, they crumbled. Same thing happened with my Blueberry Cashew Trail Mix.

Since the taste was amazing, I decided to share the recipe as granola. This homemade granola is bursting with vanilla and coconut.

I just love those ground vanilla beans. They make everything so yummy! If you haven’t tried them, I highly recommend it.
