Drain and rinse the cashews. Add them to a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add a little water to get the consistency right.
Add everything into a jar and mix well. I like these jars.
Place the jar in the fridge overnight and enjoy the next morning!

Apple Raisin Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
¼ Cup Sliced almonds (25g)
½ Cup Creamy almond butter
¼ Cup Pure maple syrup
½ tsp Vanilla extract
¼ Cup Unsweetened apple sauce
1 Cup Quick oats (90g) (NOT rolled oats)
1 ¼ tsp Cinnamon
¼ tsp Ginger powder
¼ tsp Salt
¼ Cup raisins (30g)
¼ Cup Finely chopped dried apples, packed (22g)
½ Cup Creamy almond butter
¼ Cup Pure maple syrup
½ tsp Vanilla extract
¼ Cup Unsweetened apple sauce
1 Cup Quick oats (90g) (NOT rolled oats)
1 ¼ tsp Cinnamon
¼ tsp Ginger powder
¼ tsp Salt
¼ Cup raisins (30g)
¼ Cup Finely chopped dried apples, packed (22g)
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. *
- Spread the almonds onto the pan and place in the oven until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. They toast quickly, so keep an eye on them. Turn the oven temperature down to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract and apple sauce until well combined and smooth. Add in the quick oats, cinnamon, ginger and salt and stir until well combined. Finely add in the raisins, chopped dried apples and toasted almonds. Stir until evenly mixed. Your dough will be quite sticky.
- Drop the batter onto the prepared cookie sheet in 8 large balls. Use a fork to press the cookies down to about ¾ inch thick. Make sure to press the edge of the cookie together with the fork as well to keep them together while baking.
- Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown and the cookies feel springy, about 22-23 minutes. Let cool COMPLETELY on the pan and then DEVOUR.
Notes
*Cookies sometimes crumble if you just use cooking spray, so be sure to line the pan with parchment. Store cookies in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Overnight Oatmeal Tutorial + 2 Delicious Overnight Oats Recipes
http://www.organizeyourselfskinny.com/2014/11/20/overnight-oatmeal-tutorial-20-delicious-overnight-oats-recipes/
The overnight oats formula I prefer is 1/2 cup rolled oats + 1/2 cup liquid. If I am using fruit I use about 1/4 – 1/2 cup fruit. I adjust the liquid, as needed depending on the liquid I use and ingredients I add in. After all the ingredients are mixed together the oats should be covered in liquid. I have a picture below illustrating this.

I adjust the liquid, as needed depending on the liquid I use and ingredients I add in. After all the ingredients are mixed together the oats should be covered in liquid. I have a picture below illustrating this.
1
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
- ½ cup frozen dark sweet cherries
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons flax
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients into a glass pint size mason jar, close lid, and store in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning stir it up and add a little coconut if needed for consistency.
2
- 1 pint size or 8 ounce mason jar
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon unsalted peanuts
Instructions
- In the mason jar mix together almond milk, peanut butter powder, and unsweetened cocoa. This takes about 30 seconds or a minute. Then whisk in maple syrup and vanilla.
- Stir in rolled oats until all ingredients are combined.
- Place lid securely on and store overnight in the refrigerator.
- In the morning, give it a stir, and add a little more almond milk to loosen it up and give it the consistency you want. Sprinkle chocolate chips and peanuts on top.
- Dig in and enjoy!
HEALTHY 5-INGREDIENT GRANOLA BARS
- 1 cup packed (200 g) dates, pitted (deglet nour or medjool)*
- 1/4 cup (84 g) honey (or sub maple syrup or agave for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup (64 g) creamy salted natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 cup (112 g) roasted unsalted almonds, loosely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (135 g) rolled oats (gluten free for GF eaters)
- optional additions: chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, banana chips, vanilla, etc.
Instructions
- Process dates in a food processor until small bits remain (about 1 minute). It should form a "dough" like consistency. (Mine rolled into a ball.)
- Optional step: Toast your oats in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven for 15-ish minutes or until slightly golden brown. Otherwise, leave them raw - I just prefer the toasted flavor.
- Place oats, almonds and dates in a large mixing bowl - set aside.
- Warm honey and peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir and pour over oat mixture and then mix, breaking up the dates to disperse throughout.
- Once thoroughly mixed, transfer to an 8x8-inch baking dish or other small pan lined with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they lift out easily. (A loaf pan might work, but will yield thicker bars.)
- Press down firmly until uniformly flattened - I use something flat, like a drinking glass, to press down and really pack the bars, which helps them hold together better.
- Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, and let firm up in fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove bars from pan and chop into 10 even bars (or 9 squares). Store in an airtight container for up to a few days. I kept mine in the freezer to keep them extra fresh, but it isn't necessary.
Notes
*Although not ideal, if your dates don't feel sticky and moist, you can soak them in water for 10 minutes then drain before processing. This will help them blend better and hold the bars together better. But ideally, you can find fresh, sticky moist dates.
