Apple pie overnight oats ingredients | cookingwithcassandra.com

In case you haven’t noticed, I have been experimenting with a plethora of recipes that use rolled oats. I mean, have you noticed how super versatile they are? Sure, they work best with sweet recipes, but they’re a great gluten-free replacement for flour, and a healthy source of carbohydrates. That’s good enough for me. I may have accidentally bought too many bags of rolled oats… 😁 which might explain the sporadic appearance of oat-rageous recipes on my blog like these oat-based banana chocolate chip muffins, Snicker oat bars, and peanut butter oatmeal cookies. Thankfully, Walt has...

Easy Egg Muffins Done Three Ways

Let me preface this by saying that eating a good, heartwarming, healthy breakfast is absolutely necessary. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 20s, it’s that breakfast helps to energize our bodies and sets the tone for the rest of our day. It’s so important that I might even carve this on a stone tablet: Thou shall not skip breakfast. Well… unless you’re planning to have a yummy brunch with friends where Mimosa's are involved. Or, unless you work a night shift, or you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have a big appetite in the morning. My point is: breakfast is...
