Autumn Spice Overnight Oats 

ingredients (per serving)

1/2 cup oats 

1/2 cup almond milk 

1/4 sliced banana 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

1/2 tsp cinnamon 

maple syrup for serving

 

Instructions

In a cup, pour in the dry oatmeal, layering half of your banana slices in between and on top. Then pour in the vanilla, followed by the almond milk, then sprinkle cinnamon on top. If you’re using quick oats, refrigerate at least 20 minutes before serving. If you’re using old fashioned oats, give it an hour (or overnight!). Drizzle a little maple syrup on top and enjoy! 

 

Banana Bread Muffins

Ingredients 

1 cup flour (your choice)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon 

1/2 tsp nutmeg 

1/2 cup oats 

2 tsp baking powder 

1/3 cup oil (your choice, I usually use vegetable)

1 tbsp vanilla extract 

1 egg OR 2 tbsp applesauce 

1 1/2 banana, sliced 

1/2 cup almond milk 

Instructions 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients together before adding in the oil, vanilla, egg/applesauce, milk, and banana. Stir everything in gently until it mixes – don’t overmix it. Use oil to grease a muffin pan or mini loaf pan, and then fill 3/4 of the way with the mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

 

 

That’s all for today! Go eat your autumn hearts out.
