Homeamde Peanut Butter Granola
September 9, 2016
I love peanut butter and I love granola, so it was really a no-brainer to put the two together! Peanut butter granola, homemade, in your own kitchen for you to enjoy and share with your friends and family! I've always said that making food at home is the best choice, and often, the yummier choice! Homemade granola is delicious, but adding peanut butter to it makes it irresistible!
This peanut butter granola is really easy to make and only takes a few ingredients! You will never believe that this delicious granola is vegan, refined sugar free, and ( if you use certified gluten free oats) gluten free!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups Oats
1/3 cup Peanut Butter (or any nut butter of choice)
1/3 cup Maple Syrup ( Or honey if you aren't vegan)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Vanilla
See how simple the recipe is!? You probably already have these ingredients in your house, so you have no reason not to make homemade granola! Lets get started!
First, mix your peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla together. It may help to warm the peanut butter up, to make it easier to mix. Resist the urge to eat this straight out of the bowl! :)
Doesn't it look like caramel? Hmm.....Caramel granola, I'll have to try that one out! :) But, back to the peanut butter granola....
Add in your oats and mix until all the oats are covered.
Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle the raw granola on the pan. Make sure to break up any large clumps, but small clumps are okay!
Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes, or until all the oats are toasty brown and your house smells like peanut butter cookies! Be sure to stir the granola every 10 minutes, to prevent burning and to help evenly toast everything!
When they are done, remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving or storing. When storing granola, I like to use a air-tight container or zip-lock bag to keep it fresh. It can also go in the freezer to make your granola last even longer! :)
Isn't it beautiful! I love to eat it by the handful as a snack, or on smoothie bowls for breakfast! My family likes granola on yogurt and its delicious on oatmeal. I even think it would be good on some chocolate coconut ice cream!
Peanut butter granola is the perfect thing to make if you want something satisfying and sweet, yet still healthy and full of protein and fiber! Eating healthy doesn't have to taste bland and boring, it can be delicious and exciting!
If you enjoyed this recipe, please let me know and share it with your friends and family! Everyone needs this recipe in their life!

Easter Morning Glory Muffins
March 24, 2016
Easter is just around the corner, which means that it is slowly becoming Spring time! I love the Spring season and all the life and beauty it brings! To help celebrate the Easter Holiday, I wanted to make something that was both delicious and healthy! These Morning Glory Muffins are just that!
These muffins are both delicious and nutritious! They are full of fruit and vegetables to help your day get started off right! The oil and eggs( found in most muffin recipes) is recplaced with apple-sauce to create a lighter, yet moist muffin! In addition to being super yummy, these muffins are both Vegan and Oil-Free, making them the perfect breakfast, snack or dessert!
Ingredients:
2 cups Flour
1 TBS Baking Powder
2 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Brown Sugar ( or Maple Syrup and use less Apple Sauce)
1 1/2 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1/2 Raisins
1 cup Crushed Pineapple
1 cup Grated Carrot
Oats and extra Brown Sugar for a topping(optional)
First, whisk together the dry ingredients- Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, Ginger, Salt and Coconut.
In a differnt bowl, mix together the wet ingredients- Brown Sugar, Apple Sauce, Vanilla, Pineapple, and Grated Carrot.
Then, add the wet mix into the dry mix along with the raisins.
Mix it to combine but make sure not to over mix. It should be a fairly stiff batter, but not a dough!
Preheat the oven to 400 F and line or grease a muffin tray. I used parchment paper and made my own liners, but store bought ones will work fine too! Also, Coconut Oil or Vegetable oil is great to grease with.
Fill the tins a little over half way full and top with a sprinkle of brown sugar and oats.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
Your house will smell amazing and you'll be craving a muffin by now! Thank goodness you have a whole tray full to eat!
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them and letting them cool completely on a wire rack.
These muffins are perfect for Easter Morning or any morning out of the year! They are also great to pack in lunches, have as a snack, or even as a dessert with a cup of coffee or tea! The coconut, carrot and pineapple pair together so well and make these muffins super moist and delicious! Also, its added healthy-ness!
I hope you enjoy this recipe! Oil Free and Vegan recipes are hard to come by, so when you find a good one, you'll want to hold on to it! Its also a good idea to share those recipes with your friends and family! Please do so with this one too!

Valentine's Day Granola
February 12, 2016
Granola is delicious. Granola given as a gift is super special and granola given or received on Valentine's Day is amazing! This granola is the perfect way to show someone how much you care! Its delicious, easy to make and give as a gift, and it also happens to be healthy! What more is there to love?!
Homemade gifts are so much better than store bought ones! They are always from the heart, because you put your time and effort into them, and you put thought into what to make. Giving a homemade gift on Valentine's Day is the best way to show your love!
A lot of granola recipes have a few standard ingredients in them. Butter, Honey, and Oats. Some use coconut oil or other types of oils, and some might use a differnt form of sweetener, but usually they are all about the same. I took out the butter and added in banana and I used maple syrup instead of honey. Becasue of those changes, this recipe is vegan, low in fat, refined sugar free, and packed full of fiber and protien!
The Recipe
1 ripe Banana- mashed
4-5 TBS Maple Syrup
3 tsp Nutmeg
4 tsp Cinnamon( Good for the heart!)
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Vanilla
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
5 cups Rolled Oats ( to make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free oats!)
1/2 cup Quinoa
Raisins
Dried Apples( or mix-ins of your choice. Sliced or Crushed nuts like almons, pecans, walnuts or cashews. Ground Flax seed, Flaked Dried Coconut, Dried cranberries or blueberries, seeds like pumpkin, sesame, or sunflower, or freeze-dried fruits like raspberries or strawberries!)
-- Nuts, Seeds and coconut flakes can be added before baking. Anything else needs to be added after baking.
First, mash the banana and add the maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and vanilla to it. Mix well with a whisk. Then add in the oats, quinoa and chia seeds. Make sure to stir well and get everything evenly coated. If you are adding nuts, seeds or flax seeds, you can add them in now.
Preheat your oven to 400 F. Lay the raw granola out on a baking sheet and spread it as evenly as possible. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Make sure to flatten out the granola after each stir.
Once it is all toasty and golden brown, its done! Your home will smell amazing! You could leave it how it is, but to add to the amazing-ness, lets add a few more things! I added a few handfuls of raisins and dried apple chips, but feel free to add what ever you want.
Stir the ingredients together and then let the mixture cool completely! I usually have a few bites while it is cooling! I just can't help myself!
I know I would be thrilled to receive a jar of homemade granola for Valentine's Day! I can't imagine anyone complaining about getting a home--made, from-the-heart gift anytime of the year! They just are so special!
I love to eat granola on smoothie bowls and oatmeal, over dairy-free ice-cream or banana-ice-cream, or just with a splash of almond milk as a cereal! Its the perfect way to start your day becasue it is full of protein, fiber, healthy sugars, and even cinnamon( which is good for your heart!). It also makes a great snack or even dessert!
If you liked this recipe, please let me know, and share it with your friends and family! Spread the love and give this as a gift for Valentine's Day or anyday!

Once it has cooled, you can store it in air-tight containers. I like to use mason jars, but plastic would work just as well! Also, using pretty containers makes gift-giving even easier!
I know I would be thrilled to receive a jar of homemade granola for Valentine's Day! I can't imagine anyone complaining about getting a home--made, from-the-heart gift anytime of the year! They just are so special!
Whether you give this as a gift to your specail someone on Valentine's Day or you keep it for yourself, this granola is amazing! You will want to keep this recipe some where safe! :)

Smoothie Bowls
August 28, 2015
I love smoothie bowls! They are the perfect summer breakfast to keep you healthy, energized, and cool! They are also a great, quick breakfast for back to school!
You really can make a smoothie bowl with anything you want, but here are a few great recipes!
#1 Strawberry Delight
1 cup Frozen Strawberries
1frozen Banana
1 tbs chia seeds
protein powder of choice
Thaw frozen berries and place in blender. Slice frozen banana and add to blender along with chia seeds and protein powder. Shake well and blend. You might need a bit of liquid, but the more you add the thinner the smoothie will be. Add to a bowl and top with whatever you like! More fruit, granola, nuts, the list is endless!
#2 Tropical Green Machine
1/2 cup frozen Mango
1/2 cup frozen Pineapple
1/2 cup frozen Spinach
Protein powder of choice
Thaw fruit and add to blender with spinach and protein powder. Blend well. Top with fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds and more!
#3 Chocolate Cherry Bomb
1 cup frozen cherries
1 frozen Banana
Chocolate Protein Powder
(Optional) 1 tbs cocoa powder
Slice banana and add to blender with thawed cherries, protein powder, and cocoa. Blend well. Top with cherries, sliced banana, and chia seeds!
Those are some of my favorite smoothie bows, but you can do some many other combos as well! Berry and Banana, Mango and Yogurt, Chocolate and Raspberry......
I hope you give smoothie bowls and try! Please share this post with a friend and family member! You can follow the blog via email, Google, Twitter @SpinachisGood and on Pinterest @ Hannah Plunkett.

Berry Lemon Muffins
June 12, 2015
Ingredients:
1 cup Coconut Flour
1 Tbs. Chia Seeds
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Lemon Zest
Pinch of Salt
3 Eggs
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Cup Coconut Milk
1 Cup Frozen Berries
Start by whisking together the dry ingredients. Make sure that the Baking Soda doesn't clump up.
Heat the coconut oil and honey together in the microwave and mix into batter.
Then fold in the frozen berries. The more you mix this the more color will come out of the berries, so keep this in mind! If you want a purple-ish batter like I did, mix fairly well. If you want to keep the colors separate, just fold to combine.
So, even if they aren't beautiful in looks, they really pack some yummy flavors!
Please share this post and this blog with your friends and family to spread the love of healthy living!

Keep healthy and Safe!
