Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal (Healthy!)

Here’s another one of Chocolate Covered Katie‘s scrumptious (and healthy!) recipes: banana bread baked oatmeal, or “boatmeal” as she calls it. I found Katie’s blog over the summer and made about all of her recipes! She actually inspired me to try baking healthy desserts, but I have to admit that they just don’t taste the same! But, this oatmeal tastes so delicious, that you’ll never tell it’s actually healthy, especially by adding chocolate chips, it really tastes like my mom’s famous chocolate chip banana bread!

Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes

School’s out!! It’s time to celebrate the first day of summer with a delicious breakfast feast! I made a about a billion of these mouthwatering, fluffy pancakes this morning, such a great start to many more relaxing mornings to come! Although these pancakes were devoured within minutes, I always like to  freeze leftovers (if there are any left!) to save a little summer sunshine for another morning. Happy summer and celebrate with this amazing breakfast! You can make these pancakes your own: add blueberries, chocolate chips, or keep them a traditional old-fashioned stack. Enjoy!

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

What’s better that celebrating a day off of school than with a yummy, fresh-baked breakfast?! Simply whip up this super easy muffin recipe for a delicious breakfast treat that’s available to-go! Because our lemon trees were filled with lemons, I was inspired to  make a fresh batch of lemon poppyseed muffins with a lemon glaze. The sweet and tangly icing complements the muffins so perfectly, I will definitely be using this it for another citrus pastry/dessert!!

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Unfortunately, this week is Finals Week, one of the most stressful weeks of the year. But to cheer up  my stressed (and grumpy) friends, I brought a batch of freshly-baked brain food to school.What could cheer someone up better than a homemade chocolate chip muffins on a gloomy morning?! As I expected, the muffins were gone in seconds and they left people asking for a glass on milk on the side! Muffins are one of my favorite desserts, so I naturally devoured them in seconds; they were light, fluffy, and of course delicious! Enjoy!
