Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
Cake for breakfast? Yup, and I am HERE. FOR. IT! The latest and trendiest breakfast seems to be blended and baked oats and after making it a bunch of times, I can understand why. Not only is this breakfast super easy to make, it’s also nutrient dense and very, very tasty. So if you want to eat cake for breakfast too, read more to find two of my favourite ways to make these viral blended oats.

Things just get 10x cuter when they’re mini, right?! I’ve recently fallen in love with quail eggs. Not only are they mini and super cute, they’re also really tasty and a nice change from regular eggs. And they’re perfect in these crispy shredded potato nests. I’ve added some Mexican flavours with chorizo sausage, jalapeño and cilantro. These grab and go potato cups are great for meal prep too!

Growing up, my favourite breakfast food was french toast. And it had to have lots of cinnamon on top. Usually it was the cinnamon sugar kind. So I thought to create a new version, a more grown-up version if you will (although I think kids would love this too!). This apple cinnamon french toast is the kind of brunch food you save for the weekends and its well worth every minute making it.

Steel cut oats are my preferred type of oat to eat, but the cook time sometimes gets in the way of me enjoying them. Enter this easy instant pot steel cut oatmeal! With a cook time of only four minutes, these are great for busy mornings. You can easily prep these while you’re getting ready in the morning (no stirring required!). The toppings are all completely optional, but cherries and chocolate just work so well together.

Are you ready for some pancakes? I know I am. And these gluten free buckwheat pancakes with roasted peaches are honestly one of the best combos I’ve tried when it comes to peaches. The mascarpone on top and maple syrup just take it to the next level. And the roasted peaches make the peaches even sweeter too. Even if you decide just to make the pancakes on their own, they’ll still be delicious.

Growing up, I never really ate oatmeal. It was more of a quick cereal (or pop tart!) kinda household. So when I got older and started living on my own, my whole world was turned upside down when I tried overnight oats for the first time. Prior to that, I had hot oatmeal and it was ok, but I didn’t add in fun toppings (aka nut butter) or anything. Since having overnight oats years ago, oats have become a big part of my breakfast now. And these protein packed, blueberry baked oatmeal cups are the new star of the show. They make a great meal prep option and they’re just so easy to whip up.

One of my all-time favourite muffin recipes is banana nut. I’d get them all the time from Tim Hortons, a Canadian coffee institution. I haven’t had one in a long time, but when I made these healthy banana nut muffins, they took me right back. They’re packed with banana flavour and basically taste like banana bread in muffin form. I also kept them gluten free, grain free and sugar free.

Although we had our first hit of snow this past week here in Toronto and it’s been looking like winter, it still is technically fall. Which means that crisp apples, pumpkin spice and all those things should *technically* still be the dominant theme. And so, I decided to make these gluten free apple cinnamon muffins. They are sort of like an apple crisp but in muffin form and they are the PERFECT fall (or winter?) treat.

Is there anything better than chocolate in the morning? I’ll wait… in my opinion, there isn’t anything better. And this is why I love these healthy pumpkin oatmeal bars with chocolate chips. The chocolate is optional of course, so you could leave them out, or use nuts instead. But I will say, there is just something about having a little chocolate for breakfast that feels so right.
