Vegan Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal
Weekday mornings are crazy at our house with two big kids to get to school, a husband that is trying to get to work and a toddler that is always up early. It always seems like no matter how hard we try to get out the door on time we are always a few minutes late. In all the craziness, I try to make sure that the kids get a decent breakfast, but a lot of morning we only have time for cereal or a granola bar.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
There is almost nothing better than soft, chewy cookies and a glass of cold soy milk. These oatmeal raisin cookies are so good, but without the guilt of regular cookies. You can always replace the raisins with chocolate chips, which would be equally delicious.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Makes about 16 cookies (if you don’t eat a lot of the dough)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup Earth Balance butter at room temperature
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 TBSP peanut butter
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1-2 TBSP soy milk (as needed)
Preheat the oven to 350. Sift together the whole wheat flour, unbleached flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add in the oats and mix.
In another bowl or in a mixer cream the Earth Balance and the sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla, peanut butter, applesauce and mix again until it is well combined. Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until the dough comes together. If it is a little too dry add in 1-2 tablespoons of soy milk.
Drop heaping tablespoons of the cookie dough unto an ungreased baking sheet at least 3 inches apart. Press the dough down a little. Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal
I know peanut butter and oatmeal sounds a little funny together, but it is delicious. This oatmeal is a great way to start the day, you gets lots of protein and it is super filling. This was almost like having dessert for breakfast, so it was easy to get the kids to eat all of their oatmeal.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal

1 heaping TBSP of peanut butter (you could use any nut butter)

a few splashes of non dairy milk (optional)
1/2 banana sliced
Bring the water to a boil in a small sauce pan. Add in the oats and cook for about 10 minutes until the oats are soft and creamy. Stir in the peanut butter, agave, cinnamon and milk. Put into a bowl and top with the bananas.
Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
I have been going a little crazy with pumpkin this week and have been putting it in everything. I made this one morning for me and it tasted so good the kids were asking for it the next day. We eat oatmeal a lot for breakfast and this was a nice change. It is great on a chilly morning.
