Mardi Gras & Fat Tuesday are not complete with out little beignets! If in New Orleans these sweet treats are deep fried and covered in loads of powdered sugar. Here we have a very simple variation using a can of store bought organic biscuits for ease. If you feel inspired, stir up a simple batch of dough from your own biscuit or bread recipe. I cut the dough into small bite sized chunks and either air fry or deep fry them before tossing in powdered sugar or refined sugar. I love a dash of cinnamon even though its not traditional to the Café du Monde style of beignets. Remember, you can be creative in the kitchen and do you your own way! As they say in New Orleans : “Do want you wanna!”
Enjoy making up this sweet little treat for Mardi Gras Celebrations.

Ingredients

  • Biscuit Dough
    easy way is a can of biscuits – or make homemade dough

  • 3 cups cooking oil OR air fryer

  • powdered sugar and/or refined sugar

  • Cut the dough into 2 inch bite sized pieces
  • Arrange on a baking sheet and air fry for 5-8 minutes in the air fryer or until golden brown (or oil fry 3-5 minutes or until golden brown)

3 ingredient Healthy Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

Leave a reply

The intention was to make simple healthy oatmeal “cookies” & muffins for quick breakfast and snacks. I wanted them to be easy to put in mason jars and carry out the door. This is so simple!

2 cups Oatmeal + 3 very ripe Bananas + 1 cup Almond Butter
I baked these at 350 degrees for 15ish minutes.

I had fun being creative with a few fun ingredients in different batches. One batch had cacao and I pressed those onto the baking sheet to be cookie like. One batch had ginger and I made them like muffins and ate them with apple butter. I added in raisins on all to give a little sweetness.

Do you like oatmeal to go? What fun ingredients would you add?

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Oatmeal

  • 3 ripe Bananas

  • 1 cup Almond Butter

  • Optional

  • Dash of cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup dried fruit like raisins, cherries, or currents

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Peel and mash bananas in a large mixing bowl
  • Stir in oatmeal and almond butter until everything is well mixed
  • Spoon mixture onto a cookie sheet in small 2 tablespoon sized clumps. Roll the clumps into small balls and smash down to flat cookie like circles. Because there’s no flour or baking soda these will not rise, but cook in the same shape they go in the oven.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown

Notes

  • Enjoy hot from the oven and put back whatever is not immediately eaten in mason jars for easy grab and go breakfast and snack portions.

    If you are able to reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer right before eating the saved portions, its gonna make you smile! They reheat so well and make a great warm snack or breakfast. They are filling because of their density and a 3 cookies make a satiating snack or breakfast. If you have jam or apple butter on hand, its a nice addition on top!

    I’m warming up in the kitchen this morning creating a super simple recipe for apple hand pies. Cooking for those I love is one of my most favorite ways of connecting. It’s so nourishing to feed one another. Apple hand pies are a sweet way to share the love.

    Ingredients

    • 4 Apples

    • 1 cup brown sugar

    • 1/2 cup vegan butter

    • Cinnamon

    • Pie Crusts

    • Note : Use homemade pie crusts if you are up for it – or – make it easy with a store bought organic pie crust. I suggest one keep a few frozen pie crusts in the freezer for quick recipes. If frozen, let thaw 20 minutes before trying to use for recipes.

    Directions

    • Preparation
    • Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees depending on your oven
    • Rinse and chop apples into small pieces – leaving skin on or peeling off depending on your preference
    • Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar onto the chopped apples and stir together and set aside
    • Melt 1/4 cup butter and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon – set aside
    • Melt 1/4 cup butter and mix with 1 cup brown sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside
    • Putting the Hand Pies Together
    • Roll out the first pie crust onto a flat surface and cut into 4 equal pieces
    • Spoon cinnamon butter onto each pie crust
    • Scoop a generous lump of apples onto each pie crust
    • Drizzle the brown sugar mixture onto each pile of apples
    • Cover each apple pie with a slice of pie crust and pinch together to close the sides
    • Drizzle a little bit of butter and brown sugar on top of each pie and sprinkle with cinnamon
    • Reserved apples can be spooned alongside the pies to bake for garnish when serving
    • Bake at 350-400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until pie crust is fully baked and golden brown
    • Let cool for 5 minutes
