Here are some breakfast gems that have been filling my belly for the last couple of days.
Blended banana oatmeal
Inspired by this recipe – I mixed:
- ½ cup cooked oats
- 1 banana
- ½ cup puffed rice
- ½ cup vanilla soy milk
Into the blender for a minute or so, then I topped it with cashews and blueberry flax granola and cinnamon. Holy yum.
Yogurt Mess
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 banana
- Peanut butter
- Pumpkin butter
- Blueberry flax granola
Mini Pancakes
Again, based off of this recipe (I think Katie is a genius) – I tweaked it (incidentally making it non-vegan because I didn’t have some of the ingredients. Sorry Katie.)
- 3 tbs. rolled oats
- 3 tbs. flour
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- 1 egg white
- Drizzle of agave
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup vanilla soy milk
Cooked about 2 minutes per side, then dipped in peanut butter and fig spread (side note: I’ve had a few questions about fig spread. I use this kind and its killer –they sell it at Whole Foods.)
Spinach Mess
Chickpeas, spinach, cheese, salsa and an egg.
Hope you all are having fantastic Saturdays!
Awww Katie, my Saturday was just made so much brighter because I saw this post.
I can’t tell you how much your kind words meant to me!!
And your bowl is so cute too
Lots of love (and chocolate hehe),

I think breakfast food is the best kind of food. Everything looked delish!
I could eat breakfast for every meal, too! It is so comforting. Katie does have some awesome recipes!!
I’ll have to try blending ice cream. Oops, I meant oatmeal. Haha, I don’t know why I wrote ice cream.
Your chickpea spinach thing looks great! More dinner-ish definitely! I get what you mean about craving breakfast. Almost all of my “dessert” baking lately has really been eaten at breakfast.
I love breakfast so much!! I could definitely eat it for every meal, no problem!! The possibilities and combinations are endless! Your pancakes are adorable and look so tasty!
Breakfast is my favorite meal! Ive been eating it for dinner a lot this week!
Your snowman bowl is SO cute. I would still use it in the middle of summer!
And omg. Loving the wobbly egg on top! That’s exactly my style of a comfort meal!
Mmmm….breakfast really *is* the best meal of the day, so…why not, right?
I’ve said this before, but I absolutely adore your snowman bowl. 
Wow, your pancakes look so fluffy, amazing.
I love that bowl too:)
Breakfast is the best meal, without a doubt
breakfast for all meals = genius. i need to do this some weekend.
Home made bread; nothing better. I love puzzles
I think your mini pancakes look perfect! Good idea, blending the oats. It all looks so good. Happy Sunday-enjoy the rest of the day!
That spinach mess looks glorious!! I agree… breakfast rocks!
I love your snowman bowle! Blended banana oats sounds good.
Well played on the blended oats! Those look fantastic!
Another style of oats to add to the to do list, thanks!
[...] Katie, can I convince you to relocate so that you can be my Banana Bread in a Bowl breakfast chef? [...]
Those breakfasts sound fabulosa!
