Foodie turned Holistic Nutritionist
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.

After trying the whole paleo thing for about 2 weeks, I realized how hard it is to do! I know, 2 weeks is not even very long and I really wanted to stick with it, but I just couldn’t do it. I felt like I was so focused on trying to have protein all the time and it was stressing me out. Also, being someone who doesn’t particularly like eating meat all the time, it felt forced and I just wasn’t enjoying it. So I have decided to allow grains back into my diet, although I did notice I feel better not having grains very often, so I am making a conscious decision to avoid having them all the time. I find that when I do have grains, breakfast or lunch are better times for me and then having a grainless dinner is best. In the morning, I like a hearty breakfast such as this hemp oatmeal, especially in the colder months. As much as I love my smoothies, sometimes, all I want is a bowl of warm stovetop oats. It gives me all the feels!

Pumpkin is often times associated with fall and the changing leaves along with that certain Starbucks PSL that apparently now contains pumpkin, although is still garbage IMO. But I want to break that notion that we only eat pumpkin in the fall, lets be rebels and enjoy it throughout the winter, if you really want to freak people out, maybe you even eat it in the spring (too far??). This pumpkin oatmeal with chocolate is unbelievably tasty and with the warming spices added, you are in absolute food heaven. Oh and you will also feel incredibly nourished from the inside out.
