Welcome to the blog!
Standing over a stove flipping pancakes when everyone else is eating doesn’t sound like the best use of time in the morning. Enter the sheet pan! If you pour pancake batter into a sheet pan and bake it, you will be left with a fluffy pancake that everyone can enjoy at the same time. Sheet pan pancakes are customizable and an easy breakfast or brunch.
Read MoreMatcha is trending right now, and for good reason. Its floral yet earthy flavor adds fantastic depth to any recipe. Since I am a huge lover of all things breakfast, I wanted to find another way to add matcha to my mornings. These muffins are super easy to make and much healthier than a traditional muffin. I use gluten-free flour, but regular flour (or even whole wheat) can be used as well. It has oatmeal that fills you up and no processed sugar! I recommend using honey or maple syrup.
When it comes to matcha, I recommend getting one that is organic. You don’t need the “ceremonial grade” matcha that is used for matcha lattes. Just grab one that is good quality.
I like to top these with extra oats and a little coconut sugar for crunch. These are best hot and fresh from the oven.
No matcha? No problem. You can leave the matcha out if you want. When I am making these for the kids I leave out the matcha and add in chocolate chips.

Lots of banana bread recipes ask for oil and it puts me in a weird situation because I like how oil makes it moist but it doesn't add any value in terms of flavor. Coconut oil could potentially work, but then I feel like I should be on a tropical vacation with the mix of bananas and coconut. I would use melted butter, which is great for flavor but isn’t as moist as I would like. So, the moral of the story is, I tried some olive oil, and BOOM, heaven!
