Blueberry Peach Baked Oatmeal with Streusel! (vegan + gluten-free)

June 28, 2020 by Bethany And Rachel 2 Comments

This Blueberry Peach Baked Oatmeal is topped with a scrumptious streusel is the perfect healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert. It is filled with fresh summer fruit and is vegan & gluten-free!

Y’all know that we love breakfast foods. What do we love more than breakfast foods? Breakfast that taste like dessert. Some previous recipes that we have created that are nutritious enough for breakfast and decadent enough for dessert include Brownie Cookie Dough Oatmeal, Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars, and Chunky Monkey Single Serving French Toast.

Since it is currently peach AND blueberry season, I thought to myself, why not make a blueberry peach baked oatmeal? Oh man and it is so good, it literally tastes like pie, except without all of the added sugar and processed ingredients. This baked oatmeal has 3 layers: an oatmeal base, fresh fruit filling, and a crunchy streusel topping.

What could be better for breakfast? You can have this for breakfast or dessert, no judging here. Plus it is good-for-you, your family and friends will never know that it is nutritious, unless that looked at the ingredients of course. Easy enough for a week-day on-the-go breakfast, and pretty enough for brunch or any family party. This will please kids and adults alike!

Can I Use Frozen Fruit?

You may certainly use frozen fruit for this baked oatmeal, just be sure to drain some of the extra liquid after you let simmer in the saucepan.

What Makes This Baked Oatmeal Healthy?

Very little added sugar to allow for the natural sweetness of the fruit to shine through
Great source of whole grains thanks to oats
Excellent source of fiber
Filling and satiating to keep you full and blood sugar stable for hours
Perfect dose of healthy fats such as pecans and coconut oil

Healthy Oatmeal Ingredients:

Peaches

Blueberries

Coconut Sugar

Cinnamon

Oats

Egg

Applesauce

Milk

Pecans

Coconut Oil

Blueberry Peach Baked Oatmeal Substitutions:

Peaches: You may simply omit and add in more berries (about 1.5 cups) to sub.

Blueberries: Sub the same amount of a different kind of berry such as cherries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, etc.

Coconut Sugar: Brown sugar or regular sugar can be used instead of coconut sugar.

Applesauce: Use the same amount of mashed banana, pumpkin or sweet potato.

Egg: Use a flax egg or chia egg for a vegan option.

Milk: Sub in your favorite non-dairy milk such as almond milk or coconut milk.

Coconut Oil: Use regular or vegan butter.

Pecans: Omit to make nut-free, or sub in your favorite type of nut.

5 Ingredient Pancake Mix Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies {Vegan + GF option}

May 31, 2020 by Bethany 1 Comment

Got Pancake Mix? Use it to make these simple 5-ingredient Pancake Mix Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies! Vegan + Gluten-free options!

Anddd we’re back at it again with another pancake mix recipe. We’ve made banana bread, donuts and mug cakes, and this time we made cookies! Whoop whoop. Sorry if you’re not a pancake mix fan, it’s just what’s been getting my creative juices flowing.

I’ve honestly wanted to make pancake mix cookies for like 2 years but I was always afraid that they wouldn’t turn out.

Either they would be too thin and turn into baked pancakes, or they’d be super dry and come out like rocks. But alas my friends, my fears were irrelevant.

And, not only did these cookies turn out into cookies, but they turned out fluffy and tasty.

If you like banana pancakes, you’ll love these cookies. When I was younger my dad used to make banana pancakes and put chocolate chips in them because we all know chocolate makes everything taste better.

I even added peanut butter in these guys for binding and taste of course.💁

5 Ingredients Needed For These Healthy Cookies:

Bananas

Substitutions For These Easy Cookies:

Banana: Swap out banana for the same amount of pumpkin puree, mashed sweet potato, or (slightly less) applesauce!

Maple Syrup: Sub in the same amount of honey or agave!

Peanut Butter: Use the same amount of any type of smooth, natural nut butter such as almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter!

Chocolate Chips: Add in or sub in peanut butter chips, coconut flakes, fresh berries, crushed walnuts and cocoa nibs!

Storing Pancake Mix Cookies:

Store these cookies in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, at room temperature for about a week, or in the freezer for a few months!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place parchment paper on a cooking sheet and set aside.

Drop cookie dough using a spoon onto cooking sheet. Use fingers to shape into cookie shapes. Repeat with remaining batter, or about 16 cookies. Add banana slice on top of each cookie, if desired.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until done.

I LOVE the overflow of zucchini in the summer because it means I can use it to make more recipes…..yassssssss. Zucchini is definitely my favorite veggie to bake with! It adds moisture to baked goods which yields an amazing texture!

When I was younger, my mom always made zucchini bread and it was my fave. If I had to choose between regular zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini bread, chocolate ALWAYS wins.

This chocolate zucchini bread is made with pancake mix (shock) and only requires 8 ingredients! Or 7 if you do not like chocolate chips (said no one ever lol). Go ahead and make it………you’ll love it!

Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Pancakes {Gluten-free & Vegetarian}

Get a healthy start to your day with these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Pancakes! They’re made in the blender, sweet and filling and packed with protein!

Get a healthy start to your day with these Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Pancakes! They’re made in the blender, sweet and filling and packed with protein! — *This post is sponsored by Lifeway Kefir. As always, all opinions are our own.*

Wow, its been quite some time since I made a pancake recipe. Glad I can change that with this post :). Pancakes can sometimes be a lot of work and cause a mess in the kitchen. I mean, you gotta make the batter, clean all those dishes, and then cook them on the griddle. And if you are flip-challenged (like me), you make more of a mess.

These pancakes though, make your life a tiny bit easier by being made in the blender. Instead of hand-mixing, the blender does the work for ya. But unfortunately the blender can’t do the flipping for you, you still gotta work on those skills.

I use Strawberry Banana Lifeway Kefir in this recipe since it obviously paired nicely with the flavor combo. I used to use milk/almond milk, but the kefir is thicker and adds a better texture to the batter.

Lifeway Kefir also adds probiotics, which we all know is great our gut, specifically feeding our good gut bacteria. Additionally, its packed with protein (~11 grams per serving) and is also a great source of calcium and vitamin D for the win!

It’s a perfect addition to these pancakes, but it would also be really great when making oatmeal, muffins, smoothies , etc! Lifeway kefir can be subbed 1:1 for milk!

Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Pancake Ingredients:

Oats

Bananas

Kefir

Maple syrup

Egg/flax egg

baking powder

Strawberries, bananas, chocolate chunks

Substitutions for These Pancakes:

Oats: You may sub in all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour.

Maple syrup: Simply omit or use another liquid sweetener such as honey or agave.

Kefir: You may sub in one cup of milk such as regular or almond.
