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.

I’ve been wanting to create savory oatmeal muffins for a while now. The idea has been swirling around in my brain for weeks. But I didn’t quite know how it would work and what it would taste like. I decided to just go for it and the results speak for themselves. These little muffins make the perfect snack, or breakfast. And because they are so portable, they are great for a quick grab-and-go option.

For as long as I can remember I have been enjoying chia pudding for breakfast. I love the simplicity involved in making them and how easy they are to store for the week. But, after having the same kind of chia pudding, you can get a little bored with the flavours and toppings. Which is why I wanted to whip up some vegan chia pudding multiple ways and with some fun twists. They are all so tasty and can be made in less than 15 minutes, win-win!

Best ever is a strong statement and it seems that nearly every food blogger deems their recipe the best, but you know what, this really is the best ever. I’ve made a lot of granola recipes over the years (cue pictures of me as a hippie making granola in her kitchen), and this IS the best. I may be biased because I love chocolate and hazelnuts (nothing beats nutella) so if you do too, then this chocolate hazelnut granola is for you.

There are combos in life that just go together, like avocado and toast (or tbh- avocado with anything) or a burger and fries. But is there anything quite as classic as pb & j? Growing up, I had this combo all the time (yup, we were allowed to bring nut butters to school). And this was a classic for a reason. The sticky nature of the peanut butter combined with sweet jam makes perfect sense. I wanted to create all those same nostalgic feelings, so I created these PB & J energy bites. Ready to make them yourself, let’s get to it.

Funny thing, I never used to like donuts. Does that make me weird? I hope we can still be friends. Well, either way, they just weren’t my thing. From a young age, everyone here (in Canada) loves to get these little donuts called timbits (from Tim Hortons) and I would always turn my nose up at them. It actually wasn’t until Krsipy Kreme made its way to Canada that I actually liked donuts. At the time, in high school when it first came to Canada, it was all the rage. So my friends and I would head over, eat the donuts while we waited for our order and then go home with a dozen or so. There was something about a Krsipy Kreme that made me actually like donuts. Does that make me more American than Canadian?! I don’t know. So, I wanted to make something that wasn’t overbearingly sweet and not fried. So I put my baking hat on (I don’t actually have a baking hat) and got to work.
