Pumpkin Oat Muffins

October 11, 2020 Amanda Plott

These Pumpkin Oat Muffins will blow your mind! there’s no flour used in these muffins. Meaning if you buy gluten-free oats, that makes these muffins gluten-free on top of already being vegetarian and dairy-free! One of the best parts is that these muffins are so easy to make.

A quick whir around a blender with the oats and a mix with wet ingredients and you’ve got yourself an easy peasy muffin batter! I topped these off with a touch of raw sugar to give a little added sweetness, but honestly these muffins are pretty stand alone…

Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal

If you’re a fan of pecan pie and you’re a fan of oatmeal, you’re going to love this Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal! It’s basically my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal with a candied pecan pie style topping. It’s perfect for chilly Fall mornings as we get closer to Halloween AND Thanksgiving. This Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal would actually make a really great breakfast for the morning of Thanksgiving because you can make it ahead of time and bake it in the morning. No fuss. no muss.

Of course, one of my favorite things about this oatmeal, is for sure the topping, but the ease of making it and having it on hand and ready to go for breakfast is pretty nice too….

Double Chocolate Pumpkin Bread

September 26, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been in bread mode lately for breakfast, if you couldn’t tell. And with the influx of cooler weather and it officially being Fall now, of course I had to get with baking up some chocolate pumpkin bread. Not just that though. DOUBLE chocolate pumpkin bread. This tasty breakfast treat is as rich as it comes and sooo decadent.

The pumpkin and applesauce being in this bread means it’s super moist and you barely need any oil in it at all. I kept it as low as I could with sugar by substituting in one of my favorite swaps, a brown sugar/sweetener blend. You’ll never know the difference in taste either! That one single swap will nearly cut the sugar in half…

Skinny 'Starbucks' Pumpkin Scones

Once more, I am forced to say... 'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence.

Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl.

If you haven't noticed yet... I am all about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed!...

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

September 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

I clearly have an issue with cinnamon rolls... They are a weak point for me. Always have been, and always will be.

I've attempted to make cinnamon rolls without cake mix, but honestly, the come out so much more soft and fluffy with the addition. Plus, it allows for you to have some fun with all the flavors of cake mix that are offered! ...

One of my fall favorites is spice cake. And what better to use as a base for some pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls?

Apple Spice Granola

September 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

This week we’re finally going ‘back to school’. I made the tough decision to start my little one with learning online at least for the first week, and maybe even on to the first semester. There is no other reason than the fact that I work from home myself and have for years, so the idea of her doing school online here at the start, isn’t really such a ‘big deal’. Even so, it’s still BACK TO SCHOOL. Which means any and all things involved in that. Even breakfast!

Of course, with our first cold front blowing in on the day she starts school, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make some Fall-centric granola for breakfast. This Apple Spice Granola is gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan too…
