Peanut Butter Oat Muffins

New recipe alert! Peanut Butter Oat Muffins

I haven’t been eating bread since August (I’ll tell you more about that later) and have been on a journey to find something for breakfast that satisfies my muffin/toast craving and here we are! Peanut Butter Oat Muffins- a recipe that uses oats as a flour base.

I saw this on Lifehacker last week, had all of the ingredients and I’ve made them twice since.

I’ve been enjoying them warm with a pad of butter sandwiched in the middle for breakfast.

They’re lightly sweet and have almost a cornbread texture and I’m super into them. It’s like a cornbread/muffin/oatmeal hybrid. They’ve already made their way into meal prep.

That means I’m impressed.

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week- Week 9 in 2023

Happy Monday, friends! Started the weekend with a Currently Workbook Zoom Date! We had a fun time together. If you want to join in next month, sign up for my newsletter and you’ll get more information.

This weekend I went to a local women’s community event with guest speakers and had my friend M.C. over for brunch. I didn’t do meal prep because I didn’t have the energy to but will probably do a few simple things this week to stock my fridge with goodness. Anywho…here are my Intentions for the Week!
