Coconut Fried Cinnamon Bananas with Steel Cut Oats


Hi everyone!


     When I went to Costa Rica fried plantains were all over the place.  I have missed them a lot!!  Nutty4nutrition posted a version of fried banana on instagram {ig} and I decided to make my own version. 

     An ig friend wanted me to post this on my blog so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

    
{This was inspired by Coast Rica and nutty4nutrition}


Enjoy! Pura Vida!

Blueberry Maple Oat and Flax Muffins


Hi everyone!


     Sunday turned out to be a bake day!  A friend of mine {same one who encouraged me to start this blog} and I tried out a recipe she found.  I do know she found this online but I do not know where.  I will not be able to give the person credit for the yummy muffins. 

     We did not want to use the all-purpose flour in this recipe so after some quick internet searching we found a replacement ratio of flour to oats.  We figured if the muffins did not bake correctly we could use another ratio and try it out again BUT the muffins turned out delicious!!  

Someone online used the ration of 1/3 cup oats for every ¼ cup flour 
{we used rolled oats}.

     We were not sure if the replacement would make the muffin dry or hard or if the oats needed to be ground or not … oh geesh … so we ground half of the oat replacement and kept the other half as whole rolled oats.  There was no other reasoning for this other than “let’s try it.”  The recipe called for ¾ cup all purpose flour so we used 1 cup oats {½ cup ground, ½ cup whole}.  We omitted the sugar and replaced it with a banana {this will end up being used to spread on the tops of the muffins before baking}, however; we did use some coconut palm sugar on 4 of the muffins for her son. 


{I hope you enjoy the muffins}


     Alright, let’s get started on this modified muffin recipe.  Let me know if you make changes, what changes you make and if you will make the muffins again!


Enjoy!

PowerCakes Chia Jam



Hi everyone!


     I found a fun, healthy and easy way to incorporate chia seeds into your diet.  I bought chia seeds a long long time ago and have been randomly sprinkling them on random foods.  I did not really know a “yummy” way of using them until {Guess What} I found PowerCakes!! She uses her chia seeds on just about everything.  I am really happy I stumbled upon her blog and her healthy power recipes!   


{you can see POWERCAKES Chia Jam HERE}


     I put a little bit of my yummy chia jam on top of cooked steel cut oats.  I also put non hydrogenated peanut butter, flax seeds and  cinnamon on my oats. {I tried coconut on my oats once :/ and I was not a fan}  Please stay posted for my new blog adventure!  I will try to post once or every other week.



Enjoy!
