Overnight Oatmeal

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, & it's also my favorite meal time <3 Waking up early, go out for my morning run/workout and coming back with a very hungry stomach knowing that I'm gonna give it a good dose of yummy goodness.

However, many people automatically think of breakfast eggs, sausage, toast, pancakes etc...which I don't disagree on. I am a EGG-OHOLIC I love eggs <3 they are the greatest thing that God put on this planet. But there is something outside of the traditional eggs and bacon, I give you *drum rolls*

Overnight Oatmeal!!

I bet you think it sounds weird or disgusting. But man are you WRONG! It's packed with nutritional values like protein, & fiber. It'll keep you full, and it tastes f**king awesome what more do you want?

• Overnight Oats

1/2 cup uncooked rolled oats
1/2 banana
1/4 cup fat-free yogurt (or greek yogurt)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are well mixed.

2. Cover with saran wrap & leave it overnight in the fridge. In the morning you should have something like this.

Top it off with a splash of almond milk (if you want) and load it up with your favorite guilty pleasures. A wave with a magic wand & poof! You have a healthy hearty breakfast :)

If you haven't notice by now, that I am a BIG berry fan <3 Can't get enough of them! I added raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, & unsweetened coconut shreds. But feel free to add anything you like. Enjoy!

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

I had some left over bananas that's just been sitting on my counter, if you knew me you'll know that I HATE wasting food. I had a sudden urge for pancakes so why not make banana pancakes?! I replaced all purpose flour with whole wheat to make it a bit healthier & no sugar since you can get the sweetness from the bananas.

This recipe makes about 6-7 pancakes, hopefully you'll have some friends over for breakfast :)

• Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

1 cup of whole wheat flour
2 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 large riped banana
1 cup fat-free milk
3 egg whites
2 tsp oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

** You can add walnuts to have some crunch.

1. Mix all dry ingredients flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon into a bowl.

2. Mash large banana until it looks like baby food. I like to use a fork. Mix all wet ingredients in a separate bowl (milk, vanilla, egg, oil) with mashed bananas.

3. Combine wet ingredients to dry. Mix until all dry spots disappear. Don't over mix




4. Spray non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat skillet. Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Pour batter (I used a 1/4 measuring cup) When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges look a bit golden brown, flip the pancakes and repeat with the remaining batter.

Top it off with some banana slices and viola! You have fresh pancakes <3 You can always add your favorite maple syrup but I'm not a big fan of the sweet liquid, so I spread some of my favorite jam (??)

It says "butter" but it's more like a jam consistency, for 35 calories per tablespoon who can complain? mMmMm...

Have a good breakfast guys :)

My sisters funny Easter eggs that I had to use. HAHA~
