Iβm currently sitting in the middle of the nowhere. Trevorβs driving, Teddyβs sleeping, and Iβm talking to you guys! By the time youβre reading this, hopefully, weβll be relaxing in Salt Lake City. π (Update: We’re in Salt Lake City and LOVING it! π )Β
Itβs been an easy drive so far . . . not too much traffic and weβve had amazing weather.
We drove about 12 hours yesterday and have 8 left until we hit our final destination.
As you know, the most important thing to make a road trip successful isΒ . . . road trip SNACKS.
If only I wouldβve had these Healthy Baked Oatmeal Cups on hand!
While we didnβt have these Healthy Baked Oatmeal Cups, we WERE fully stocked with other yummy deliciousness: hummus, cheese sticks (hello. weβre from Wisconsin), energy bites, and more.
Plus. Coffee.
Lots and lots of coffee.
Which – btw – coffee goesΒ PERFECTLY with these Healthy Oatmeal Cups.
Once weβre actually IN Salt Lake City, I plan on making a batch – or two – for our time there.
Lucky for me, theyβre – as all my recipes are – insanely easy to make. π
Whisk a bunch of things together β> bake in muffin tinβ> top with fave toppings β> devour β> devour more β> repeat.
Easy peasy, right?
The bunch of things include: mashed bananas, all natural nut butter (no sugar added, just the roasted nut variety), almond milk, a chia egg (chia seeds + water <β whisk and sit = chia “egg”), old fashionedΒ oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and some dark chocolate chips.Β
Once the above is whisked, youβll bake βem for about 15 minutes, then top them with whatever youβd like.
I HIGHLY recommend some non fat plain greek yogurt (or your favorite vegan yogurt, if youβre vegan), a drizzle of pure maple syrup (because, um, there’s no added sugar in the muffins! so a little maple syrup is just heavenly), and some fresh berries.
Easy. Healthy. Vegan. Gluten Free.
Perfect for on the go, make ahead, delicious breakfasts, snacks, and dare I say desserts?
