Creamy Overnight Oats

 

Creamy Overnight Oats is my new go-to favorite breakfast. This easy to prepare recipe is a nod to comfort food and yet, so healthy for you too. Feel free to add any toppings you like to change up the flavor combinations. I like berries, almond butter granola with Greek yogurt, and lemon zest. Coconut would also work, as would dried cherries with a sprinkle of cacao powder.

Creamy Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup almond milk 

2 teaspoons chia seeds

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Toppings: Fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, granola, nut butters, dried fruit, citrus zest, vanilla bean, cinnamon, honey

Directions:

Combine oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract in a small jar and cover with a lid. Allow it to rest in the refrigerator overnight. 

Remove from refrigerator, give it a stir. 

Add your favorite toppings.

Serve and enjoy!

Keto Blueberry Muffins

Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients:

2 cups almond flour

2/3 cup granulated Swerve

1 tsp baking powder

3 large eggs, room temperature

1/3 cup unsalted melted butter, or coconut oil

2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, or dairy milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup blueberries

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin; or line the tin with papers.

Whisk the dry ingredients: almond flour, Swerve, baking powder in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix all of the liquid ingredients: melted butter, almond milk, eggs and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and gently mix together.

Fold in the blueberries.

Divide the mixture into the prepared muffin pan; an ice-cream scoop works well here.

Bake about 25 minutes until they’re light golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean.

Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer muffins to a rack to cool.

Baked Oatmeal Almond Bars

Baked Oatmeal Almond Bars make a nice, healthy treat, especially for those who want something as a grab-and-go in the morning, or for an afternoon snack. They hit an excellent balance of crunchy, sweet, and chewy, with an awesome foundation of oats, almonds, and coconut. You can swap out any kind of nut, seed, dried fruit, or berry you wish. A handful of chocolate thrown into the mixture would not be such a bad idea either.
