Blueberry Chia Overnight Oats

I've been absolutely terrible at eating breakfast lately.  I get up, putter around with some housework, make a cup of coffee and then the next thing I know it's closer to lunch than breakfast.


I decided that I was going to help myself by doing some meal prep this weekend.  One of my go to faves is overnight oats and I've made a bunch of different kinds.  This time around I wanted to finish up some blueberries that I'd pulled from the freezer for pancakes.

 

Not expecting to blog the recipe, I just laid out my three jars and started putting stuff in.  First up, 1/4c in each jar of quick cooking oats.  Then 1/2t of chia seeds and a sprinkle of cinnamon.  I spooned on some of the berries.  I repeated those layers twice more. 


I added a tablespoon-ish of real maple syrup to the top of the jar and then I poured in some vanilla almond milk.  I popped the lids on and stuck them in the fridge overnight.


The next morning I popped one open and gave it a little stir.  I am so happy with how delicious they turned out and then was immediately like, "Oh crap, I didn't really measure some of the stuff!"  The measurements you see in the card are approximate.


You can eat these warmed up in the microwave or cold from the fridge.  I prefer them cold.  You can swap out the fruit for strawberries, raspberries or blackberries, they'd all work. I'll swap back and forth between these and the other recipe I prepped, Copycat Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast Sandwiches and be set for a while.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
