today for breakfast i made this chocolate chip protein oatmeal bake! it was really easy to make and it was delicious! the only things i changed were that i didn’t add sweetener, i used bittersweet dark chocolate chips, and i used a dash of instant espresso powder instead of cinnamon. :)

Spiced Apple Butter Recipe:

Does anything say ‘autumn’ quite like apple butter? If you answered anything other than ‘no,’ you’re wrong. Apple butter is a great way to utilize locally grown produce (if you live in an area where apples are harvested) and capture the essence of fall in a jar. This recipe is especially easy because it uses a crockpot that can be left alone rather than a pan that needs to be tended to every few minutes.

Ingredients:

  • 8 apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped. (I used a bunch of different varieties, but whatever is available for you will work fine)
  • 2 cups of apple cider (NOT apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

  • Mix all ingredients inside crockpot.
  • Cook on ‘low’ for 18 hours.
  • Pour mixture into blender & blend until smooth consistency is reached (about 5 seconds)
  • Spoon apple butter into sanitized jars (recipe makes approximately 2.5 pints), screw lids on tightly.
  • Process jars in a hot water bath for 15 minutes.
  • Let cool and leave jars to sit for 12 hours before using.
  • Unopened apple butter will keep for about 12 months, refrigerate after opening.

use as a spread on toast or bagels, or as a dip for fruit, pretzels, and crackers.

Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies!

~

This is one of those incredibly easy recipe where all you have to do is mix a handful of ingredients you can always have on hand and 15 minutes later you have a healthy tasty snack! You can try adding white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts or any combination to make it a more interesting cookie but I liked the simple brown sugar oatmeal taste.
