Sweet Potato Pecan Baked Oatmeal

November 16, 2019 by healthienut 1 Comment

Ask me what my favorite meal of the day is and I will always say breakfast. Ask me what my favorite breakfast item is and I will always say oatmeal. That being said, I always love to come up with different oatmeal recipes and this one is perfect for the fall season. Nothing like freshly baked sweet potato pecan baked oatmeal to warm up to on those cold mornings.

Sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon. The sweet potato pairs perfectly with the crunchy & sweet pecan topping. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and if you’re a peanut butter fan like me…a generous spoonful of peanut butter.

A perfect serving of pecans in every bite. You may think that putting sweet potato in oatmeal is a bit of odd. But with the right pairing of sweetness from the maple syrup and spice from the cinnamon..it’s simply delicious!

This is a great breakfast to save for the rest of the week. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge and warm up in the microwave or stovetop for a couple of minutes.

Ultra Fudgy Pumpkin Tahini Brownies

November 5, 2019 by healthienut Leave a Comment

I mean pumpkin, tahini, and chocolate? Sounds like the ultimate trio to me. It’s seasonal, nutty, and ultra chocolatey. Double the batch if you want to make two servings…kidding only a little.

Ultra fudgy, moist, and will simply melt in your mouth. With all the right ingredients these are entirely gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and of course plant-based. Embedded with chunks of dark chocolate, sweetened with coconut sugar, with a bit of tahini for the perfect nutty flavor in every bite.

I kind of don’t want to go on about this recipe, so we can get straight into how to make this, but let me just give you a run down on these bad boys.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread

When you have a big pile of zucchini sitting in your fridge and you have a huge sweet tooth…what else are you supposed to make other than zucchini bread. Let’s be real.

Embedded with chocolate chips, sweetened with maple syrup, hints of tahini, and of course zucchini. You’ll be wanting to eat the whole loaf, let me tell you.

I am kind of indecisive when it comes to the textures I am looking for in a sweet bread like this. Do I want it fluffy? Dense? Fudgy? Moist? Why not all four?

Fudgy from the chocolate, so moist and fluffy, yet perfectly dense. It is heavenly.
