When breakfast rolls around in the morning, this oatmeal with berries and chocolate granola is the best. Drizzling the warm oatmeal and toppings with some agave gives a perfect sweetness to the meal that isn’t over powering like maple syrup can tend to be. Topping your oatmeal with my homemade granola is a great way to add some extra crunch!
Waking up in the morning and making breakfast can some times be time-consuming, especially if you’re normally on-the-go. This chia pudding recipe is totally easy to make and is made the night before, giving you extra free time. If you’ve never had a Chia-Yogurt Parfait, now is your chance. I promise that once you try this, you’ll be adding your own ingredients or flavoring, like different extracts, nuts, fruits, seeds, granola, and more! It’s just that good and fun to be creative with.
In a bowl, mix together the almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and chia seeds until combined. Allow to sit for 25-30 minute before giving another stir.
Cover the mixture again and allow to refrigerate up to 8 hours (or overnight).
To serve, drizzle with extra maple syrup and top with season fruit and nuts of choice.
Chef’s tip: This recipe is great for any meal prep! Just double or even quadruple this recipe to make more at once!
Feast your eyes on these Scrumptious Blueberry Pancakes that are oh-so fluffy and light! You’re not going to believe how good these are until you try making them. The way these melt in your mouth with the freshly warmed blueberries is absolutely drool-worthy. Feel free to drizzle some maple syrup on top or dust it with powdered sugar as I did. Be sure to give these a try with your family for brunch or make them ahead for your weekly meal prep. They make for a quick breakfast or pancake roll-up with peanut butter and jam- either way, I guarantee you’ll be very satisfied.
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, almond milk, egg replacer, vanilla extract, and melted butter with a wooden spoon. Set aside.
Heat a frying pan over medium low heat. When the pan is hot add a small amount of butter and 1/4 cup of the pancakes batter. Sprinkle some blueberries on top of the pancakes.
Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes each side. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes stacked with peanut butter and sliced apples.
Chef’s tip: You can add lemon zest to the pancake batter for an extra zing!
I don’t know about you all, but there is something about peanut butter, chocolate, and bananas that resonates deep within! Morning’s can sometimes be dull or basic since we are usually rushing out of the door to conquer our daily duties. Thus leaving little to no time for us to focus on our most important meal of the day, breakfast. This is a great start to any day or even a great post-workout snack! In whatever you decide, you can always personalize this bowl and add any fruits, seeds, or powders of your choice.

1.5 cups Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks, room temperature
4.5 cups powdered sugar
2.5 tsp. water
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
Directions
Cake:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, beat the egg replacer and sugar together for 1-2 minutes. Add the orange juice and almond extract. Beat until combined.
Add the flour, salt and baking powder into the batter, until fully combined.
Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and bake for 11-16 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on top of a towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking. Carefully flip the cake pan on top of the parchment paper. Remove the parchment paper and throw away.
Tightly roll the towel with the cake into a log shape and allow to cool for 30 minutes or until room temperature.
Butter cream:
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and half of the powdered sugar until combined. Add the vanilla and remaining powdered sugar and mix until frosting forms; about 3-4 minutes.
Assembly:
Carefully unroll the log and spread the frosting in a single layer. Cover the frosting with the strawberry jam.
Re-roll the cake back up into a log shape.
Frost the cake with the remaining butter cream and top with orange zest and mint leaf.
Place in freezer for the butter cream to set for 1-2 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve and enjoy.
Chef’s tip: Move quickly when cooling this cake, or it will crack and break when you go to roll it.
