Apricot Flax Fall Granola

The main problem with me making granola is my self-control. I could eat the entire batch in one sitting. How about you?! A few weekends ago we were going hiking so I wanted to make some granola to take with us. It's a great hiking snack because it's light weight, easy to eat and pack. We ended up hiking Siler Bald near Franklin, NC. It was a very pretty trail and a great workout. As we were hiking up the trail a black bear ran right out behind me! We also hiked Whiteside Mountain near Highlands, NC.

Granola is also a great addition to oatmeal or Greek yogurt!

Also try our Gluten-Free Power Granola and our Gluten-Free Cinnamon Vanilla Granola!

Below is the picture from the hike that we posted on Instagram. Read more about our hiking trips here.

Clean Eating Everyday Pancakes

I've had this recipe done FOREVER because I've been making these almost every single week for Scott...I just could never get a good picture so I asked my amazing friend Kenzie (of Hettman Homestead) if she would make them and take a picture and she said yes! She's the one that we collaborated with to produce Baby Eats Clean, Breakfast Crock Pot Recipes eCookbook, and our FREE Desserts & Treats and Fit Festive Foods eCookbook. You can find out more about all of those amazing books here. So thanks to Kenzie and her amazing pictures, I can finally share this yummy recipe with you!

Another problem was that I also had no name for these and literally could not think of anything. Scott said to call them everyday pancakes (since he eats them every day). I'm not a big fan of the name but I'm going with it anyway! These pancakes are perfect to make in advance. We store them in the refrigerator and take out a few each time we want to eat them. You can heat them back up or enjoy them cold!

• 2 cups Oat Flour

• 4 oz Organic Unsweetened Applesauce

• 1/4 cup Stevia in the Raw
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients into large bowl. Add wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
2. Spray or coat griddle with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
3. Scoop batter onto warm griddle in 1/4 cup increments.
4. Cook until browned, around 2 minutes. Flip to cook opposite side.
5. Top with fruit, pure maple syrup, or enjoy them plain

How many pancakes this makes will depend on the size of your pancakes. It usually makes 12-14 for us.
