Hey all! Last night I totally conked out. As soon as I laid down, I was o u t. When I woke up this morning, I felt so refreshed! I wasn’t that hungry though so I delayed breakfast to let my hunger build (plus P was still a lump in bed!). After talking to my mom, answering emails, and blog checking, I started thinking about brunch around 11. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do - have normal oatmeal, create something new, order in or go out to brunch. Even though I was tempted towards the latter two because I have aprox my entire kitchen in my sink to be washed, but after two days of eating out I knew I needed to get back into some routine. So I decided on a new recipe to motivate me to clean the kitchen. Enter one of my favorite new cookbooks, Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan. I decided on a Cocoa Banana Muffins, because I had all the ingredients on hand.
Even though this recipe was for muffins, I usually make my muffins into scones for two reasons: a) I don’t have a muffin pan and 2) the bigger scones make me feel like I’m getting more food! These scones were delicious - they smelled like Cocoa Krispies! These will make great desserts with a little bit of almond butter, or a great pre-workout snack.
I had three for brunch this morning:
I also had a little bit of milk with my chocolate-y goodness!
Breakfast was 441 calories, 80g carbs, 11g fat, and 12g protein.
Since it’s a lazy Sunday type of day and I didn’t make it to the gym yesterday, I may go for a leisurely session this afternoon. Have a great day!
