Apple Tahini Green Smoothie

I have wanted to make this apple-tahini recipe for a long time, but as a baked oatmeal. I have been hoarding a couple tablespoons of tahini for a month just to make this, but every time I have the opportunity, I think about summonsing the hellfires of my oven, and I quickly change my mind. I never used to understand when people posted no-bake recipes and referred to “not wanting to turn on your oven,” but I get it now.

Here’s the perfect breakfast for summer mornings if you, like me, don’t have air conditioning.

Blueberry Pie Oatmeal Bites

I’ve been craving some more oatmeal bites lately. For nearly a week straight, snack time would approach, and I would wish I had some of these gooey, chewy noms to bite into.

I had dried blueberries leftover from my recent granola recipe, and I knew they’d be perfect for this recipe. After studying some blueberry pie recipes, I added a bit of cinnamon and lemon juice, and voila–blueberry pie. Fabulous flavor. Definitely my favorite “bite” yet!

Fig and Dark Chocolate Bites

I had so many elaborate porridge plans for last week. I even bought all the ingredients for them and planned exactly which day I would make them. Then my stove stopped working, so I made these adorable, fudgy, easy, snackalicious truffles instead.

Apricot Almond Butter Bites

Gasp! Where have I been??

I’ve been proud of not taking any blogging breaks since I ran the heck away from quit teaching, but last week got the better of me! You know what really did it? The weather sucked (rain, rain, and more rain), which means I have no natural lighting for pictures. On the few days of semi-sunshine, I was too lazy to dirty some dishes and take a few pictures. It’s something I fight on a regular basis, but last week, the laziness won.

Lately I have found myself heading out the door with no packable snacks. Yes, I have dried fruit, but sometimes I get sick of just eating those every day, and I wanted something a little more interesting. Preferably something nutty. Having some dried apricots and almond butter to use up, I immediately set off to make an “energy ball” recipe that would be reminiscent of my beloved Peach & Almond Butter Oatmeal. (more…)


Four-Ingredient Fudgy Oat Bars [Guest Post]

You may remember Monica from her guest post a few weeks ago, Strawberry and Chamomile Steel-Cut Oatmeal. We realized we were doing our summer traveling around the same time and decided to help each other out by doing some recipe swaps. By the time this post is published, I will be flying to Seattle. In the meantime, enjoy this delightful recipe by Monica!

4-Ingredient-Oat-Fudge1

Hello Oatmeal Artist Readers! It’s Monica from My Pink Recipe Book posting again and I am very excited to be sharing another recipe with all of you. This one features oatmeal in bar-form rather than my previous seasonal steel cut oatmeal recipe, and it is a little more on the treat-side of breakfast dishes, but still better than run-of-the-mill granola bars.
