Clean Eating Breakfast Cookies

This is such a simple recipe, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. For some reason I just wanted to make something different with my oats. Don't get me wrong a warm bowl of oats is still one of my favorite things, but I just wasn't feeling it. I decided to make something similar to the pancakes I make but with oats instead of oat flour. They turned out to look like cookies, so that is what I shall call them. They are SO GOOD!

P.S. These aren't just for breakfast, you can eat them anytime!

We absolutely love to use our slow cooker this time of year. We use it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! ;-) The other evening I wanted to make our Cranberry Apple Overnight Oats but I didn't have any apples or applesauce so I decided to make up another recipe. Lucky for you and lucky for me!

Clean Eat Recipe: Maple Cranberry Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

• 2 cups steel cut oats (gluten-free option)
• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 8 cups of liquid (we use 4 cups of water and 4 cups of unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (avoid HFCS)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup (or less) Stevia in the raw

Directions:

1. Spray your crock pot with non-stick spray (we use an olive oil mister).
2. Put all the ingredients into your slow cooker and cook overnight on low (around 7-8 hours).
3. Once cooked, stir oats to combine and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This makes 8 servings. In order to get an accurate serving size, weigh all of your cooked oats and divide by 8.

Gluten Free Avocado Banana Bread

This one is GOOD. We had bananas AND avocados that needed to be used ASAP so I decided to make a variation of our banana bread. It took me a few tries to get the ingredients right and about a year to post this recipe. ;-) I love to eat a slice with my breakfast or before my workout.
