Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats

May 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

Just a few more weeks and my kiddo will be out for summer. And these last few weeks are always super DUPER busy. In order to avoid skipping out on breakfast in the morning, I like to have a few things on hand that I can grab-and-go eat with no excuses and no guilt. That’s where these Strawberry Pop-Tart Overnight Oats come into play.

Overnight oats are tasty, easy to make, and an excellent thing to meal prep. The oats themselves are left overnight in a mixture of almond milk, greek yogurt, some sweetener, and real-deal cake batter flavor. They’re also stuffed full of strawberry goodness and then topped off with a drizzle of frosting and even rainbow sprinkles!…

Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread

It’s Spring and you know what that means - blueberry lemon things for days! This Blueberry Lemon Monkey Bread is pretty much the perfect Spring breakfast, brunch, or even dessert to make. Monkey bread of any kind has been one of my go-to breakfast options for years now. I think it all started when my little was actually little and monkey bread was one of those things that was easy for little fingers to grab and eat.

This monkey bread here is loaded up with big beautiful fresh blueberries and lemony goodness. It’s bright with the citrus of the lemon zest and has that hint of sweetness from the blueberries. Now, you could top this monkey bread off with some icing drizzle, but I thought it was pretty unneeded. A quick sift of some powdered sugar and some extra lemon zest and it was perfection!…

I don’t know. I just like to shake things up sometimes by putting two or three things together that I enjoy and hoping that it turns out right. Today? It’s a monte cristo sandwich and a breakfast bake or casserole. Yep. And guess what? It’s pretty damn tasty if I do say so myself. I’ll tell you another thing, after this past week, I deserved a little somethin’ something’ special.

This Monte Cristo Breakfast Casserole takes the cake. Like literally. It’s a monte cristo in the form of a better-for-you ‘strata’ or bake. Eggs. Cheese. Ham. Bread. Dijon. And you add a dab of raspberry preserves at the end and it’s done. And not depending fried or battered. Just good. Tasty. Breakfast…

Carrot Cake Bread

I’m not going to lie, I’m excited and yet a little apprehensive about Spring this year. Last year about this time is when the whole world went to shit. Here’s to hoping that this year will be at least a bit better, even if it still is a little different from years past. Until we know for sure? I’m going to start filling my belly with all things Spring! And what goes better with Spring than carrot cake?

This Carrot Cake Bread is definitely an excuse to eat carrot cake for breakfast. It’s loaded up with most of my carrot cake favorites; including pineapple, raisins, nuts, and of course CREAM CHEESE FROSTING…
