My favorite way to eat peanut butter is on top of my oatmeal with bananas – hence my inspiration for these scones. I’ve been eating this epic breakfast combo for such a long time that it’s about time I share it, in scone form😋

Scones are the perfect addition to a hot cup of tea or coffee. I’m team coffee all the way, except when it comes to chai tea. I love the aroma of chai spices so I even added it to this already awesome ingredient mix.

Now back to the peanut butter – Not only does PB bind the scones without the use of an egg, but it is also combined with chai spice for a delectable glaze on top! A double dose of peanut butter ain’t never hurt anybody 😜

In all seriousness, these scones are incredibly easy to make. They’ve got tons of sweet flavor without the use of any refined sugar. Just 10 simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your kitchen:

Chai tea

Peanut butter

Bananas

Oats

Oat flour

Almond milk

Baking soda

Vanilla

EASY Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Freezer Fudge {Vegan + Gluten-free}

December 3, 2016 by Bethany 28 Comments

Looking for a healthier crowd-pleasing dessert? Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Fudge is a unique take on two favorites, but is secretly guilt-free! Vegan + Gluten-free!

Can someone please tell me how it is mathematically, statistically, logically, and emotionally possible to dislike chocolate? I cannot wrap my head around this one. How does one despise the taste of the most glorious food in the world? Think about it; if you dislike chocolate, you miss out on a dessert world of opportunity. Could you imagine turning your nose up at to a ginourmous slice or a decadent 7 layer chocolate cake? Or gagging at the site of a right-out-of-the-oven gooey brownie? Or turning down a glorious chocolatey piece of fudge?

“This post is sponsored by Farmer’s Direct Co-op. As always, all opinions are my own.”

Believe it or not, my cousin is one of those people. I always asks her how she gets her sweet fix, but she always explains to me that there are plenty non-chocolate desserts that she enjoys. Sometimes I forget that there is a world outside of chocolate desserts. You know apple pie, cheesecake, blondies, vanilla cupcakes, white chocolate……the list could go on. It saddens me though, that these chocolate haters will never know the delicious taste of fudge. That is until I made a non-chocolate version to feed their souls.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Fudge. How does that sound? When the idea first came into my mind, it tickled my heart. A simple chocolate-less, sinless, crowd-pleasing dessert that is perfect for any holiday get-together. Who say’s you need chocolate to make fudge? Call me a rebel, but I say nay.

My friends at Farmer’s Direct Co-op hooked me up with some fabulous products, and I included their organic rolled oats in this recipe. You know what I love about this company? 100% of their products are farmer owned and are certified organic and fair trade. I choose to partner with their company because I believe that farmers and their land should be treated fairly. To learn more about this evolution click here.

Ok, now back to the recipe! Here is what you need:

Farmer’s Direct Co-op Organic rolled oats

raisins

cashew butter

maple syrup

coconut oil

vanilla

cinnamon

sliced almonds

Andddd thats a wrap up! Now go on and make this delicious guilt-free fudge! It will please chocolate lovers and chocolate-haters alike!

Cashew butter fudge and oatmeal raisin cookies collide in this irresistible, guilt-free dessert! It’s super simple to make and will please everyone’s taste buds! Also vegan and gluten-free friendly!

Glazed Oatmeal Chai Pumpkin Scones {Vegan & Gluten-free}

September 24, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 41 Comments

Looking for healthier scones? Make these Vegan Glazed Oatmeal Chai Pumpkin Scones! They taste like fall, but without the gluten and refined sugar!

I feel that it’s appropriate to assume people are more productive working at a coffee shop than at home. Literally every time I walk into Starbucks (or any coffee shop) there are no seats available because everyone is busy on their laptops either working or studying.

There is just something about getting work done with a coffee and pastry by your side. It makes working/studying so much easier and more joyful. Whose with me on this one? When ever I have the time, I go to Starbucks to do things on the blog that I hate doing, because God knows I won’t do it when I’m home. So how does this tie into today’s recipe? Scones.

Coffee shops have scones and scones are delicious. But scones are high calorie, have virtually no nutrients, and do nada for your body. Buttt they accompany coffee/tea really well. Hot caffeinated beverages + scones = soul mates.

Of course I would love to order a scone at a coffee shop, but that would be bad-news-bears because gluten and sugar💩💩💩

Thank God I’m a blogger and I sometimes know how to bake, so my God-given talent saved me on this one. I’ve done oatmeal scones before and based this recipe off of them. Also had to make a pumpkin version because everyone loves pumpkin! I also chai spices to it, Mmmmmmm!

But wait, there’s more. A pumpkin chai glaze is drizzled on top of the scones, because glazes make everything better. 👈Proven fact💁. So not only do you get tasty scones that you and your coffee have been longing for, but you also get some good nutrients, fiber and homemade goodness.

Glazed Oatmeal Chai Pumpkin Scones

Chai spice and pumpkin are combined together in these delicious scones that are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea! You’d never guess they are vegan, gluten-free and made with only three tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten them!

Pumpkin Chai Oatmeal Scones {Vegan & Gluten-free}

Pumpkin Chai Glaze:
1/4 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
chai spice

Instructions

Cut tops of of chai tea bags and place in a food processor. Blend until tea is in fine granules. Set aside 1/3 for the glaze.

In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, milk, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.

Vegan Soft-Baked Maple Banana Oatmeal Cookies

September 20, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 20 Comments

Soft-Baked Maple Banana Oatmeal Cookies are a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack loaded with protein and whole grains. Also gluten-free and vegan!

True life: My favorite kind of food is food that I can eat with my hands.

If I had it my way, I would make all of my favorite foods in a more portable form so I wouldn’t have to use any utensils.

That’s why you see lot’s of hand-held recipes on our blog such as muffins, breakfast pizzas, cookies, bars, etc. It’s not that I don’t like eating food with a spoon or fork, I just likened using any utensils better ’cause I’m simple like that.

So all this talk about eating food with hands brings us to today’s recipe: Soft-Baked Banana Maple Oatmeal Cookies. The inspiration for these babies come from a childhood favorite: my Mom’s soft-baked Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies which fit’s perfectly into this month’s recipe redux theme, First Cooking Recollections.

“Stir up some of your earliest culinary recollections. Did you stand at your grandmother’s elbow to learn to cook? Or did you learn by stumbling through a cookbook by yourself? Share a healthy recipe and the accompanying story about one of your first cooking memories.”

The earliest cooking/baking memory I can think of is helping my Mom make here famous cookies. Okay, maybe I didn’t help all that much with the baking process, but I sure “helped” in the eating process, ya know, making sure they didn’t go to waste!😉

Now, I wanted to remake these oatmeal cookies with my own little twist. I re-created them by keeping the “soft-baked” aspect but obviously replacing the unhealthy ingredients (butter, white sugar) with healthier ingredients, changing the flavor combo and adding frosting. Needless to say, I think I like these EVEN MORE than my Mom’s famous cookies (shhhhhh don’t tell!).

They are so simple and easy to make with only 7 ingredients and take only 15 minutes to make. I also wanted to make these cookies with added protein powder for extra nutrition to go along with their whole-grains and heartiness. These cookies can honestly be eaten for breakfast, snack or dessert. I had them for all three!

Soft-Baked Banana Maple Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are a healthier remake of My Mom’s classic soft-baked oatmeal cookies . They are so soft, have a slight chewy texture to them and are naturally sweet but not-too-sweet thanks to banana, organic stevia-sweetened protein powder and a touch of maple syrup.

These cookies are even topped with a sweet and tangy maple cream cheese glaze. You would never guess that these are good for you! Also vegan and gluten-free!

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir well. Spoon into 6-8 cookies and place on baking sheet, bake for 10 minutes or until done. For glaze, mix ingredients in a bowl and spread on cooled cookies.

Coconut Matcha Oatmeal Latte with Dark Chocolate Chunks {Vegan+ GF}

September 10, 2016 by Bethany 27 Comments

Love all things matcha? Try this Coconut Matcha Oatmeal Latte! You get your caffeine and hearty breakfast all in one bowl! Vegan + Gluten-free!

I feel like I’m always the last person to hop on board with the coolest trends. Do you remember skinny jeans? I refused to wear them until everyone and their mother started wearing them.

Did you ever try avocado toast? It literally took me soooo long to try it out after swooning all over it on Instagram. I could go on for days, but I think you get the point that I procrastinate to try new things. I swear that one thing I’ll never get into is Pokemon go.😝

Love all things matcha? Try this Coconut Matcha Oatmeal Latte! You get your caffeine and hearty breakfast all in one bowl! Vegan + Gluten-free!

This post is sponsored by Mind My Matcha. As always, all opinions are my own.”

I became aware of matcha because everyone on social media raves all about it, but I still wasn’t convinced enough to try it. I thought “it’s just another kind of tea, right?

No thanks, I’ll stick with my coffee.” But like most things, matcha has grown on me. After Mind My Matcha send me some to try, I was hooked right away.

Matcha isn’t just another tea, it’s like the Simone Biles of teas. For those who have no clue what I’m talking about, Matcha is a special type of green tea grown in Japan and made from the full leaf.

One serving of matcha tea is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of green tea. Woah!

If you think Matcha is something that would float your boat, you have to get the high-quality grade stuff from Mind My Matcha (Psssst You can use the coupon code AA20 for 20% off!).

Their matcha is organically grown from the Nishio region of Japan and contains no fillers or additives. <<<<<< My kind of company👌

The first time I tried matcha was in a latte, and I fell in love. Being the oatmeal loving person I am, I thought it was a great idea to make a matcha oatmeal latte because oatmeal is BAE.

I also happened to realize that matcha goes incredibly well with coconut and dark chocolate, so naturally I added them to the mix and oh my gosh, this oatmeal is heavenly!

You think matcha lattes are good? Try adding oatmeal. You get your caffeine and nutritional boost and hearty breakfast in one! SCORE.

Coconut Matcha Oatmeal Latte with Dark Chocolate Chunks

Hearty oatmeal is mixed with matcha tea, coconut extract and coconut sugar then topped with frothed coconut milk, toasted coconut and dark chocolate chunks for the most epic breakfast you will ever eat! Also gluten-free and vegan-friendly!

Blackberry Peach Crisp Easy Baked Oatmeal {Gluten-free & Vegan}

May 23, 2016 by Bethany And Rachel 34 Comments

This Blackberry Peach Crisp Easy Baked Oatmeal is the perfect healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert. It’s filled with fresh summer fruit and is vegan & gluten-free!

Once I find something I like, I get obsessed with it and can’t stop.

Case-in-point, all the fruit crisp deliciousness. I blame it on the produce market for having such good prices. Not complaining here though, their produce prices are 1/4 of what a regular grocery store’s is and it’s pretty fricken’ awesome.

The only problem is, they are a local produce market so I can’t have all the cheap fruit and veggies year round’ when I’m in college, so that’s why I go hard in the summer. ALL the produce ALL the time.

So back to this fruit crisp in breakfast form, you know it was bound to happen, especially after this Greek Yogurt Bark was a hit. It’s the perfect summer breakfast or brunch recipe. This baked oatmeal has got 3 tasty layers that compliment each other in taste and texture.

The layers consist of:

Traditional baked oatmeal layer
Juicy simmered fresh blackberries and peaches
A crunchy crisp oatmeal and walnut topping

I’m pretty sure you’re convinced that you have to make this, but if you’re not, this baked oatmeal is a hearty and delicious breakfast that is completely healthy!

It’s naturally sweetened with fruit and only a touch of unrefined coconut sugar. It contains low glycemic carbohydrates which won’t spike your blood sugar. It’s also gluten-free and vegan too.

I’m 99.9% positive you’re convinced now!!!

I am pretty dang proud of using the caramel macchiato flavor in oatmeal because it tastes exactly like the real thing.
