Banana, caramel protein baked oats

Oats have a rep for being boring but not mine!
I played around with different plant protein flavours and fruit to make my baked oats more fun and also balanced with the cashew frosting which is so easy to make & adds healthy fats to balance out the carbs in the oats and protein for a well balanced breakfast. You can even use this as a treat and make it sweeter, plus the sweetness comes from natural sources that also contain fiber.

Healthier chocolate banana bread!

I know banana bread was all the rage during lockdown and it always is because we very often have ripe bananas to use up in a short period of time so I did just that but put my own healthy twist on this one & also added some cacao powder for chocolate hit but is still healthy enough to have for breakfast!

This can also be gluten free by using GF flour and also vegan too! You can adjust the sweetness but I like to keep it low, letting the ripe bananas do most of the work here.

Healthy breakfast carrot cake muffins

Who said carrot cake had to be unhealthy?
These breakfast carrot cake muffins are packed with fiber, goodness and spices plus low in added sugar!

They’re great for batch cooking so that you have brekkie covered for a few days, they go really well with some nut butter and you can decide how sweet you want them!

Plus they contain lots of nutrition from both fruit & veg and have a decent amount of anti-inflammatory spices in them for good measure!

I used a plant protein here to balance out the carbs but it also makes a good post exercise snack until you can get home/to work to make a proper breakfast. These cookies are also pretty flexible in terms of adding different ingredients to make them taste they way you want. I like coconut and berries as I used a white choc coconut flavour protein but you can do whatever you like such as spices e,g cinnamon/ginger or some chopped dark chocolate!

Easy chocolate pumpkin bread

Chocolate flavored pumpkin bread, great with some nut butter and filled with goodness from the pumpkin and banana.
I used wholemeal flour for more fiber and the antioxidants in the cacao, the vitamin E in almonds and plant based vitamin A from the pumpkin make this one good for the skin too, woo!

Free from pumpkin bread

You can make this sugar free by swapping the coconut sugar with a granular alternative plus by using a gluten free flour this is also suitable for GF and vegan diets.
I like to lightly heat or toast the slices and serve them with some nut butter or you can use a spread of choice and add some more if desired to really amp up the nutrition.
