Organic oatmeal served with strawberries, walnuts and raw honey.

Sunday morning a wonderful group of women ate organic oatmeal topped with fruit, nuts and raw honey instead of nutrient-void bagels and processed cream cheese.

Now, this might not seem like a big deal, but it is! It’s a huge deal when a room full of Jewish women leave the traditional white flour bagels and cream cheese virtually untouched and choose a nutrient-rich, whole grain, plant based breakfast.

I am pleased with myself because I opened the door wide for health. I brought this highly nutritious whole food to our “bagel brunch” and made it easy for these women to step into a healthier choice. This is one of the things that I love about my work. I love supporting people to walk into the health and well-being they deserve!

Now how do gluten-free leftover muffins connect to stepping into health? Well, being the Jewish mother that I am, when I made the yummy oatmeal for the women’s gathering, I made twice as much as we needed! (I wouldn’t want anyone to go hungry!)  So, what to do with all the leftover oatmeal?

I created these delicious gluten-free muffins. They don’t have to be gluten free if you don’t need them to be. You can replace the 1 cup of almond flour with any flour and I’m sure it would be very tasty.

Gluten Free/Dairy Free Leftover-Oatmeal Muffins

Gluten-Free/ Dairy Free Leftover-Oatmeal Muffins

Mix  dry ingredients together:

• 1 cup of almond flour (not almond meal) If gluten-free is not important to you, this can be any flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix wet ingredients together:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup cooked oatmeal
• 1/2 cup raisins (if your oatmeal doesn’t already have them in)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup apple sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Mix wet and dry together (it is quite gloopy because of the cooked oatmeal)

Spoon into greased muffin tins.

Bake at 350 for 25 – 30  minutes or browned on top. They are very moist muffins. Let them cool before you take them out of the tin.

They were a big hit in our house. We made them for a few days in a row (I had a lot of leftover oatmeal!) Here are some variations we did:

• Add hemp seeds for more protein and good omega’s
• Add walnuts for a nice crunch.
• We even threw in some leftover fruit salad! It was yummy, but the grapes made it a bit too moist, however the blueberry bites were delicious.
