Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

Mmmm oatmeal time! Today’s recipe is for a very filling and scrumptious Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal! I am highly allergic to blueberries, so I made this flavor for my sister, and raspberry for myself! Since I don’t get to share very many berry (besides raspberry) recipes with you guys, I wanted to showcase this version for you. Of course you could make any berry flavored Cheesecake Oatmeal of your choosing! A different berry Cheesecake Oatmeal flavor for every day of the week? I think yes!


Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal
Serves 1

1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup rolled oats + 1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp oat bran
1/4 cup nonfat cream cheese
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
1 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon

In a pot over medium high heat, bring the water oats, and oat bran to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer. Once most of the liquid has been absorbed, stir in the cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and blueberries. Serve hot.

Sophisticated PB&J

Happy National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day!!!

PB&J is not just for kids… In honor of National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day, I had to make something special for the occasion.
A sophisticated take (and twist!) on the traditional PB&J Sandwich: Whole-wheat honey peanut butter pancakes with berry compote.
I am allergic to berries, so I made this batch for my sister, and used cherries for my “jelly!”

Sophisticated PB&J Pancakes
Serves 1

1/4 cup Kodiak whole-wheat oat and honey flapjack mix
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 cup frozen berries

Cook the berries on the stove over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. In a separate bowl, mix the pancake mix, water, and peanut butter together. Lightly coat a pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour batter into 4 inch circles and flip once they start to bubble. Place the peanut butter pancakes on a plate and drizzle with berry “jelly” compote. Enjoy warm.
Note: I noticed that the pancakes cooked faster with the addition of peanut butter, so make sure to watch them closely as they cook.
If you use regular whole wheat pancake mix, add 1 tsp of honey to sweeten up your batter.
