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!…

May 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

Cookies just don’t get more simple than this. Not only is this Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie baked in a skillet, it’s whipped up all in one bowl. That means a whole lot less dirty dishes to deal with, and a whole lot more time to spend enjoying this delicious cookie. And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…

Skillet Monster Cookie

Look, I don’t know. I’ve just been on a cookie binge lately I guess. But, I wanted something a little more ever green today than my Irish Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies from last week. Plus, I’m all out of those cookies anyway so it was time to make some fresh. One of my all time favorite cookies? Monster cookies!

They’re full of everything I like. Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. You get all the bases covered in one bite. And this Skillet Monster Cookie takes it a step further by being mixed all in one bowl and then baked in a skillet. No need for chilling. No need for rolling. Just mix. Bake. Enjoy…

Baked PB&J Oatmeal

Who knew you could enjoy a PB&J for breakfast? Oh, wait. I did! This Baked PB&J Oatmeal is loosely based on a few of my other baked breakfast oatmeals but in PB&J form. Yep! There’s peanuts, peanut butter, and even jelly baked right into this oatmeal. Plus, I made it dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian.

This Baked PB&J Oatmeal can be made in advance and reheats really well, meaning that it’s perfect for meal prepping and having on hand through the whole week. And, if you aren’t a fan or are allergic to nuts, you can always swap out the peanut butter for any nut free alternative. That’s right, even those with sensitivities can enjoy this with the right alterations…

Pumpkin Oat Muffins

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….
