Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal

It's no secret that I love Cinnamon Rolls. I'm not sure making it as oatmeal is particularly healthy, but probably a little better than actual rolls. I got the original recipe from Happy Herbivore Meal Mentor.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry rolled oats
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
dash of ground nutmeg
1 tbsp brown sugar
pinch of salt
3/4 cup almond milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt. 
2. Add milk and vanilla extract.
3. Over medium, bring to a light boil. Turn heat to low, and cook to desired consistency, stirring often.

Apple Crisp Muffins

These apple crisp muffins are so good! I had a couple, one child had a couple, and someone else had at least half dozen. I got them from Happy Herbivore Meal Mentor, which is a whole foods plant-based no oil meal plan. It's not a diet. All the same, I was told, "These don't taste like diet muffins." And I was asked to make them again. 

Ingredients:

1½ cups flour (white whole-wheat or GF) 

½ cup dry rolled oats, uncooked 

2 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda 

2 tsp ground cinnamon 

¼ tsp ground ginger 

dash of ground nutmeg 

¼ tsp salt 

½ cup raw sugar 

¼ cup brown sugar 

1 cup applesauce 

¼ cup pure maple syrup 

1 red apple, diced

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350F. 
2. Mix dry ingredients together. 
3. Add remaining ingredients, mix until just combined. 
4. Spoon into lined muffin cups. 
5. Sprinkle with additional oats and brown sugar, if desired. 
6. Bake for 18-25 mins.

Notes:

Makes 12 muffins.
