It’s starting to feel a bit like fall here in London…if you’re after the warming spices in a cooler form, look no further than these cravable overnight oats! A few dates lend a subtle sweetness to the spiced golden milk, and the yogurt and pumpkin puree perfectly soften the oats. Recipe makes a double batch…
Breakfast
Pumpkin Pudding Breakfast Bowl
It maybe not be autumn anymore, but we can still have pumpkin! I’ve been making a big batch of this creamy-dreamy-pumpkin-pudding to have throughout the week. It’s wonderful topped with nut butter, coconut, granola, cacao nibs…whatever’s in the cupboard. Hope your 2018’s off to a great start, and here’s to another year of Veggie Ninjas! Pumpkin…
Black & White Overnight Oats
Mmmm…black sesame. Roasty, toasty, just so good. It’s easy to make black sesame butter at home in your blender or food processor; I’ll happily drizzle the stuff on everything in sight. Pancakes? Sure. Ice cream? Definitely. These overnight oats…OH YES. Actually, it’s double-sesame-season here, because we mix the butter into the oats, too– black magic! I hope…
Instant Golden Chai Granola
I love granola. On yogurt, on oatmeal, straight to my mouth from the jar. Sometimes I’m having a slow day at home and want my place to smell amazing for four hours; other times I’m struck by a craving and it can’t be ready soon enough. Enter stage right: 5 minute granola! Yep, for real. All…
Cherry Almond Muesli
Happy February! I was hoping this month would be a little drier than last…but it seems rain is the name of the game for the Bay Area right now. Great for the drought, though! My camera’s battery gave out just as I started shooting this muesli…and because hungry Jillian definitely didn’t have the patience to…
Morning & Night Coconut Banana Cream Pie Oats
Confession: I had oatmeal for dinner (and breakfast, pictured). Actually, the same oatmeal, two different ways. Yesterday evening, I made a double batch of this delicious Coconut Banana Cream Pie overnight oats; the perfect breakfast to wake up to. When I left this morning, it was misting slightly, but the sun was out. Delightful, Refreshing.…
Starry Night Baked Doughnuts
Although it might *finally* be warming up here in San Francisco, this past weekend was unusually chilly. Sunday morning I woke up to iron skies and a creeping bookishness, so the day was spent curled up on my couch finishing The Golem and the Jinni. It’s a remarkable melange of fantasy and historical fiction, set…
Hazelnut Orange Breakfast Cake
Tep, you read that right…it’s cake, for breakfast! Orange peel is the perfect accent for rich, nutty walnuts. Shredded carrots and almond meal made the cake amazingly soft and moist.
Cinnamon Roll Walnut Butter
No matter what fun nut butter concoctions are in my fridge, there are always two staples: Pecan Cashew Almond Butter, and Cinnamon Roll Walnut Butter. This stuff is amazing on everything.
3 Coconuts Peach Porridge
Calling all coco-nuts! Here we use coconut oil to toast the millet, coconut milk in the porridge, and toasted coconut as a garnish. I like to spoon the cream from the top of a can of coconut milk over the peaches, too!
4 Hour Granola
Baking at a super low temperature makes the granola extra crunchy and phenomenally flavourful. Prep takes just 10 minutes, and then your house smells amazing as it bakes for 4 hours. Consider it the perfect weekend (non)activity…
Black Sesame Banana Biscuits
Toasty black sesame and sweet banana come together for a delicious biscuit. Is it the weekend yet? Because I’m ready for brunch.
Pecan Cashew Almond Butter
This nut butter is one of my favourites; you’ll always find a jar in my fridge!
Sweet Potato Buckwheat Pancakes
Give buckwheat flour another chance! We add sweet potato puree and buttermilk to make moist, delicious pancakes. Plus, there’s cardamom. Everything’s better with cardamom.
Sweet Potato Pie Chia Pudding
Who says breakfast can’t involve pudding or pie? Let’s spend a few minutes in the kitchen tonight so we can have YUM in a bowl tomorrow! Chia seeds are pureed with sweet potato and pumpkin spices for the perfect morning treat.
