Flourless Oatmeal Muffins



It’s time for more muffins! Our focus today is on muffins that don’t contain flour. Nicole has tried some of these out and likes them quite a bit.

Oats are the basis of both recipes that we are going to share with you along with some really yummy other ingredients so that you don’t even notice that they don’t contain any flour!

Pumpkin, Chocolate Chip, and Oatmeal Muffins

1 ¼ cups of milk
1 egg
½ cup of honey
¾ cup of pureed pumpkin
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. of vanilla
2 ½ cups of quick oats
½ cup of chocolate chips


First of all preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the egg, milk, honey, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a bowl.


Once all combined, stir in the oats and chocolate chips.


Transfer into silicone muffin pans (you can use regular greased muffin pans if you don’t have silicone).

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden on top.

Cool and enjoy!



Banana Oatmeal Muffins

2 bananas
2 eggs
1/3 cup of maple syrup
¼ tsp. of salt
2 tsp. of baking powder
2 tsp. of vanilla
1 tbsp. of cinnamon
1 cup of Greek plain yogurt
3 cups of oats
1 cup of whole milk
Toppings of your choice (cranberries and blueberries are good)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl mash the bananas and then mix in the eggs, syrup, salt, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and Greek yogurt.

Now add in the oats and milk and mix well.

Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes so the oats soak up the liquids. You want the consistency to be like oatmeal.

Line a muffin pan with liners and then pour the mixture into them. Make them about ¾’s full.

Add on your toppings. Push them down into the batter a bit.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Cool slightly before eating.

Flourless Chocolate Cookies



Happy Thursday! We’ve almost made it to the end of the week and what better way to celebrate than some fudgy flourless cookies. We went with the “healthy” veggie cookies last week, and this week we are going flourless and super chocolatey. These cookies are so ooey and gooey and yummy. The egg whites in these cookies almost make them seem like gooey chocolate meringues. These cookies don’t last long at all, once they’re baked and in the fridge. Grab the following ingredients and get ready to bake!

*When I bake these, I usually double the recipe; that’s how popular they are!

2 ½ cups icing sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp. salt
4 egg whites
½ tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

All you need is one bowl to make these cookies.

Add the icing sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to the bowl and stir it up.


Separate 4 eggs and add the whites to the dry mixture along with the vanilla and stir until mixed well.


Lastly add in and stir the chocolate chips.


Line a couple of cookies sheets with parchment paper. This is a really important step when making these cookies because they can get sticky.


The batter is quite runny; this is normal. I used a teaspoon to scoop the batter onto the cookie sheet. It may look like a little spot on the sheet but these cookies spread out so much; they get huge while baking so all you need is a small amount of batter. I found this out the hard way when I scooped about a tablespoon and they doubled and ran together in the oven.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.


When they come out, allowed them to cool for a few minutes on the sheet and then carefully scrape them off to cool a bit more on cooling racks. You can eat them at room temperature or put them in the fridge to get cool. This is what my family likes. They don’t get hard, they stay gooey and are so delicious when nice and cold.
