Cookie Dough Oatmeal Bake for ONE!

Servings: 1 | Calories: Around 180

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup oats (50g)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• sweetener, such as 1 1/2 T maple syrup or 1 to 1 1/2 packs stevia (Omit if wanted!)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g) (Or sub banana… it’s awesome this way!)
• 1/4 cup milk, creamer, juice, or water (I used 60g)
• 1/8 tsp salt
• Handful of chocolate chips (and a few for the top, too!)
• Optional: unless you like the taste of fat-free baking, add 1-2T oil, vegan butter, or nut butter (If oil, scale the milk back a little. If vegan butter, scale the salt back a little.)
• Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon (If you like cinnamon in chocolate chip cookies)

PROCEDURE:

Preheat oven to 380 degrees.
Combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet.
Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, or 1-cup ramekin (or, for mini boats, two 1/2-cup ramekins)
Cook for 20 minutes, or more until it’s firm.
Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 3-5 more minutes (or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust).
*Don’t forget to spray your ramekins first if you want your cakes to pop out.*

Create a recipe with oats and without nuts and you have my heart.

Definitely trying this soon!!

Healthy Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter & Banana Muffins!

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats (use gluten free if sensitive)
• 3 Egg whites
• 3/4 cup Cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup Banana, mashed
• 1/2 cup Plain Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
• 1/2 tsp Vinegar
• ¹1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp Baking soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Sugar substitute OR 1/4 cup + 2 tbs baking stevia
• ²1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter [*All natural would be better]
• Optional: 1/4 cup peanut butter chips for topping!

¹ Instead of vinegar you could also use 1/2 tsp cream of tartar.

² Or you could use 12-14 packets of stevia. It may vary according to taste and brand of stevia. I personally use NuStevia baking stevia and NuStevia packets.

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 24 cup mini muffin pans with silicone mini muffin liners, or spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. Place the peanut butter in a mug or microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until melted.


2.In a blender, (or food processor), mix all of the ingredients together. Blend until oats are ground and mixture is smooth.


3.Place mixture in a large liquid measuring cup, and divide batter between muffin tins. If using optional peanut butter chips, divide evenly over the top of each muffin now.


4. Place muffin tin in the oven and bake for for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool muffins before removing from pan. ENJOY!!!

(Serves 2-3)

• 4 egg whites (Or 8tbsp liquid egg whites)
• 5tsp agave syrup
• 1tbsp raw cocoa powder

Whip the egg whites in a bowl until stiff peaks form (You could always try holding the bowl over your head and hoping it doesn’t fall out when you think it’s done ;) ). Over a saucepan with water place a heatproof bowl with agave syrup over it until it becomes a bit more runny and whisk in the cocoa powder (If it gets too hot to stick your finger in, it’s no longer raw remember!). Fold the coca mixture into the Egg whites and place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Divide between two or thee bowls and serve with a little shredded coconut or orange zest on the top :)
