Chocolate swirl vegan oat muffins. So easy to make Chocolate swirl vegan oat muffins. So easy to make. Blend in a vitamix or high powered blender:

+1/4 cup maple syrup
+1/4 cup peanut or almond butter (i use both)
+2 bananas
+1/2 cup soy or non dairy milk
+1/2 tsp vanilla powder
+2 tsp baking powder
+1/2 tsp baking soda

Then stir in some @hukitchen no added sugar chocolate chips. My fav because they’re sweetened with dates! If the batter is warm from the vitamix you’ll end up with this pretty swirl.

Made these beauties last night - plant based vanil Made these beauties last night - plant based vanilla cupcakes with a sweet potato frosting.
.
The recipe is from the forks over knives app but I had to tweak it a bit since I was missing sorghum and almond flour. I replaced the sorghum with more oat flour and the almond flour with whole cashews and slivered almonds (because that’s what I had on hand).
.
Also, instead of mixing the batter in two separate bowls - wet and dry ingredients - I put everything into my vitamix. Less to clean up that way.
.
It was my first time making sweet potato frosting and gotta say - not bad! I made it with steamed sweet potatoes, maple syrup, tahini and vanilla.
.
And P.S. my three year old loved licking the cupcake batter off the spatula. 👌🏼

Here are a couple of ways to add seeds to your lit Here are a couple of ways to add seeds to your little one’s lunch … Slice cucumbers and top with vegan cream cheese (I like Kite Hill) and hemp seeds. Also sprinkle chia seeds into a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
.
Both hemp and chia are complete proteins containing all essential amino acids. They have omega 3s, iron and fiber.
.
This is the lunch I packed for my 3 year old today. PB&J on sprouted grain bread with no sugar added all fruit jam, peanut & almond butters and chia seeds, cucumber slices as mentioned above, blueberries, and freeze dried snap peas.

Grilling season is here! It was 80 degrees in Conn Grilling season is here! It was 80 degrees in Connecticut today so we thought it’d be a good idea to see how the @actualveggies veggie burgers do on the grill. Perfecto. 👌🏼
.
Loved their green burger with kale, broccoli, navy bean, etc.
.
We also grilled some corn and it was so delicious. Plus we did some zucchini, squash and peppers. So good.
.
Tonight I topped my burger with lettuce, tomato and aioli. Had to skip the avocado because I’m taking a @dutchtest in a couple of days… it’s a hormonal test from the naturopath I started seeing this week. Looking forward to improving my overall health with her help. One of my goals is to get off the thyroid medication I have to take every morning (which traditional doctors usually say you have no choice but to take for the rest of your life) and she said she’s helped people do just that. So fingers crossed. 🤞🏻
