Cinnamon-spice crepes

These are super easy to make and will keep you full until breakfast with the combination of complex carbs and protein. This recipe is adapted from @chocolatexdiaries, check her out she has some amazing recipes! Here we go:



Ingredients:

1/2 cup oats
1 egg (I haven't tried using a flax egg, but I think it will work!)
1/2 cup almond milk (I used vanilla unsweetened)
1 teaspoon-1 tablespoon liquid sweetener (depending on how sweet you like it)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
optional superfood add-in: 1/2 tsp maca (or as much as you're used to/can take)

Method: First, put your oats in a food processor until you get a flour. In a bowl, combine your egg, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla, and cinnamon. Let your batter sit for a couple minutes, allowing it to thicken. Warm up a pan on low-medium heat, along with a bit of coconut oil. Once it's warm and the coconut oil has melted, put half the batter (1/2 cup) onto the pan and spread it out with a spoon, allowing it cook for about a minute, or when bubbles start to form. Flip and let the other side cook for a minute. Pour the rest of the batter on the pan and repeat. Top with fruit, peanut butter, coconut flakes, or maple syrup!

I know, another oatmeal post. But it's a good one, I promise! This recipe is perfect for the holiday season and is a great way to sneak in a serving of pumpkin.

1 cup water/milk (I use half water, half milk)
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ripe banana (mashed) (you can save a few slices for the top!)

Method:
1. Bring your liquid to a boil, reduce and add your oats, pumpkin and banana.
2. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then add your spices.
3. Cook until it reaches your desired consistency, and top with fruit and lots of peanut butter
