Healthy Baked Oats Recipe

recipes

Hey guys, welcome back! It’s been a while since I posted a new recipe so here is my latest obsession! Protein baked oats that take less than 10 mins, can be made in the microwave, and taste like banana bread. So here’s how you can make it…

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 scoop protein powder (I use Women’s Best Vegan Vanilla Protein)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Liquid Sweetener (I use WB’s sugar free syrup)
  • Toppings (optional)

STEPS

  1. Combine your oats, egg, almond milk, banana, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder in a blender until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a large mug (the batter shouldn’t exceed 3/4 of the mug)
  3. Cook in the microwave for 3 mins (depending on the level of your microwave) or you can also bake it in a muffin tin in the oven for 5-10 mins.
  4. Allow to cool, drizzle with sweetener of choice and top with anything you like. I chose almond butter, but you can also opt for berries anything you like.

I hope you enjoy this quick recipe, let me know down in the comments what you’d like to see next and please like and follow for more, xoxo.

Healthy Mug Cake Recipe

healthy living

I have become obsessed with this recipe because it’s the quickest cake recipe ever and it definitely satisfies my sweet tooth. If you find yourself binge eating your batch of cupcakes or eating the whole cake, perhaps a one-serving recipe is the best option for you. There are some days where you’re just craving a dessert or cake but you’re worried about your goals, so one thing to remember is it’s okay to have a little treat once in a while.

The key to having a healthy relationship with food is by eating mindfully, this means if you want something sweet, have a healthy alternative with intention rather than mindlessly binge eating a batch of processed cookies. This way if you set out to indulge, you won’t feel the guilt, you only feel guilty when it’s an impulse.

This mug cake is the perfect indulgence, it’s soft, rich and tastes exactly like a regular chocolate cake, even though it’s gluten and dairy free. You can also make a vanilla version if you’d like. So here’s how to make it…

INGREDIENTS

  • 2tbsp corn flour (or any gf flour)
  • 2tbsp almond flour
  • 1-2tbsp cacao powder
  • 1/2tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1tbsp coconut sugar (or any alternative)
  • 3tbsp almond milk
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1tbsp cacao nips (optional)

STEPS

  1. In a large mug, mix the flours, baking powder, sugar and cacao powder.
  2. Mix in the egg, vanilla and plant-based milk until well incorporated.
  3. Lastly mix in the cacao nibs (you can also use dairy free chocolate chips).
  4. Place it in the microwave and cook for 1-3 mins (depending on your microwave). Mine usually takes 2 mins and if the top is cooked, then it’s done but you can always double check with a skewer.
  5. Now you eat your cake straight from the mug!
