1/2 cup chia seeds 

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup flex seeds

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain Himalayan salt 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder 

1. Preheat your over to 325 degrees ( 160 degrees), lightly grease a 9-inch square pan

 with coconut oil.

2. Blend your oats in a high speed blender until a fine flour forms. 

3. Combine everything in a large bowl. 

4. Stir in a cup water until combined. 

5. Pour your mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. 

You can sprinkle the surface with some additional salt.

Slice it as you like and enjoy your super-power chia bread!

mother nature's apple crumble by ohsheglows 

Good morning Friends!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I have been enjoying this amazing recipe for a while, and I thought it was time to share it with you.

I am obsessed with my Oh She Glows Cookbook, and of course I found this apple crumble recipe in it.
It is amazing as breakfast, snack or dessert, but make sure you heat  it up before you eat it! It tastes so much better when it's warm and it smells wonderful too. 

For the filling : 

* 6 to 7 cups peeled and chopped apples ( 6 to 7 apples )

* 1/3 cup Sucanat sugar or other granulated sugar ( I used honey! )
 * 1 tablespoon chia seeds 

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

For the topping :

* 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats 

* 1 cup thinly sliced almonds 

* 1/3 cup almond flour or almond meal 

* 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 

* 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 

* 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut 

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

* 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt 



1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees ( 190 degrees), grease an 11 by 9-inch baking dish ( use coconut oil).

2. Make the apple filling. Mix the ingredients well. Poor the apple mixture into your  prepared dish.

3. Mix the topping together. 

4. Sprinkle the oat mixture all over your apples. 

5. Cover the dish with foil and poke a couple of wholes in the foil. Bake it for 35-40 minutes, then uncover the dish and bake it an additional 10-15 minutes. 

Enjoy! 

This is my favorite treat and I am about to try it with blueberries and pears :) 

Have a wonderful week!

* breakfast doughnuts *

Good morning Lovelies! 

I have an amazing breakfast recipe for you today! 

I have the Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon, and I am loving it so much! 
She has amazing plant-based recipes for each meal( I've tried several) and the 
wonderful pictures will make
 you want to look through this cookbook every day! :) 

So this past weekend I tried the " out-the-door chia power doughnuts". 
Needless to say they are super delicious, packed with fiber, antioxidants, protein 
and omega-3 fatty acids. 

Let me tell you ..even my husband loved them !! :) 

Oh She Glows "out-the-door chia power doughnuts 


3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour 

1/2 cup chia seeds

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup pure maple syrup or other liquid sweetener

1/3 cup non-dairy milk ( I used coconut milk )

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

coconut oil 


Don't worry if you don't have oat flour you can easily make your own! Just put 
your oats in a food processor and blend them until you get powder-like consistency. 
I cup rolled oats will make 
approximately 1 cup oat flour.

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease your doughnut pan with coconut oil. 

2. Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

3. Add your liquids and stir until combined. The batter will be very runny!

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity to the top. 

5. Bake the doughnuts for 22 to 26 minutes, until firm to the touch. Use your trusty 
toothpick to make sure they are ready.

6. Cool the doughnuts for 10 minutes, and then carefully invert the pan onto a cooling rack. 

You can serve it with some jam or nut butter, but they are just as delicious by their own.


Enjoy your lovely doughnuts! 

Have a great weekend !

Fall in a bowl 

Happy Monday Lovelies! 

I have an amazing breakfast recipe for you! I made it on Saturday and it was so

looking at the lake :) 
Fall is beautiful, so let's enjoy all the fall fruit and veggies! 

Pumpkin pie oatmeal 

Ingredients: 

* 2 cups milk ( i used coconut milk)

* 1 cup rolled oats 

* 1 cup pumpkin pure ( I roasted a pumpkin! )
