Easy baked oatmeal bars that taste way better than store bought and perfect for a snack, dessert or even breakfast. What can I say, I love a versatile snack and these are it.

Filled with a jammy blueberry filling and a buttery oat topping, they taste much more decadent than they really are. Minimal ingredients, one bowl and ready in about an hour, these blueberry oatmeal bars are the perfect treat to enjoy.

I recently went apple picking and picked WAYYYY too many apples. So what’s a girl to do with all those apples? Make these apple crumble bars of course! There’s something about these delicious apple pie bars that scream Fall. And don’t even get me started on the date caramel sauce. I got the sauce perfectly drizzly and I highly recommend making it.

Vegan Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread: Made in One Bowl

Yum

Remember a few months back when everyone was in lockdown and baking banana bread every week. Ha! Good times, good times (not really). So now that we’re approaching fall, maybe it’s time to switch to pumpkin bread? I think it’s a very good idea personally. So I created this delicious vegan gluten free pumpkin bread. And not only is it low in ingredients, it’s moist (sorry for using the “m” word) and made in just one bowl! I’m all about less clean up, so if there’s a way to make something in one bowl, you better believe I’ll do it.

Healthy Peach Crisp: For Breakfast or Dessert

Yum

Is there anything better than a crisp in the summer? There’s something about having a hot crisp with fresh and in-season fruits and a crumbly oat topping. For this crisp, I decided to keep it to stone fruits since they’re in season right now, plus they’re delicious. And this healthy peach crisp just happens to be low in sugar, packed with fibre and makes a perfect breakfast or dessert. Obviously, if you have it as a dessert, a scoop of ice cream or coconut whipped cream is highly recommended.

Baked Oatmeal Cups: Vegan & Gluten Free

May 5, 2020 By jaclyn 3 Comments

Yum

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.

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 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.

Best Ever Chocolate Hazelnut Granola (Gluten Free & Vegan)

April 11, 2019 By jaclyn 2 Comments

Yum

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.

Gluten Free Baked Pumpkin Donuts

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.
