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…

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!...

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…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler

Are you getting tired of the same ol’ - same ol’ when it comes to the dessert options around the holidays? Shake things up this year and try out this delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler! If a pumpkin pie and a cobbler had a love child, this cobbler would be it!

This delicious wonder of a dessert makes it’s own gooey pumpkin caramel sauce while a spiced up cake forms on top to make one hell of a Fall inspired cobbler, if I do say so myself. Lightened up and made just a little better-for-you with just a few simple swaps…

Skinny Baked 'Overnight' Vanilla Chai Oatmeal

October 28, 2019 Amanda Plott

This Skinny Baked 'Overnight' Vanilla Chai Oatmeal is based off of my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal, but made with plenty of added chai spice! The spice blend is homemade with spices that you likely already have on hand. It’s quick and easy to put together in the evening to have ready to go for baking up first thing in the morning.

Unlike a ‘bowl of oatmeal’ baked oatmeal is a bit more akin to cake. It’s fluffy and is generally cut or scooped to be served in a bowl where it’s topped with milk and any fresh fruits desired. Since this oatmeal likes to soak overnight, that makes this a great Sunday night breakfast to put together and have ready to go to toss in the oven on Monday for a weeks worth (plus) of breakfast!…

It’s almost the weekend and that means it’s time for some meal prepping! This Overnight Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal is a great way to get that pumpkin spice goodness of Fall in there for breakfast with minimal effort. And I do mean very minimal.

These oats are mixed together with pumpkin purée, spices, milk and some greek yogurt to create the perfect breakfast bite to grab-and-go out the door come the busy week ahead. It’ll fill you up and keep you going all the way through to lunch time!…
