The Ultimate Overnight Breakfast (V, DF, GF)

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Happy January! This recipe has been on repeat over here as a mama of 2 and bc it is the best of both worlds – overnight oats and chia pudding. I started by rotating between the 2 regularly. However, I wanted to create something that was less carb heavy and more protein focused like chia pudding but had the consistency of overnight oats. Voila – the half + half overnight breakfast was born. The perfect breakfast to kick off your January and feel your best. You’re welcome 😉

Banana Oat Muffins (DF, GF, V, NF)

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

This was one of my favorite postpartum breakfast muffins as the ingredients were supportive for a breastfeeding mom! However, it has turned into a great breakfast option for myself and now my 1 year old daughter, especially if it’s paired with a nut butter and a side of berries. This makes it a complete meal filled with lot of nutrients and keeps you satisfied until lunch!

Loaded Superfood Cereal Bowl

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

To be honest, I was totally out of the cereal game until I got pregnant! In my first trimester, it was my biggest craving bc I was so over my fave granola. While there are many healthier cereal options than when I was growing up, it can still be a blood-sugar rollercoaster if you don’t pair it with healthy fat, protein + fiber. Plus, this recipe allows you to add extra nutrients + antioxidants with all of the superfoods it includes. As always use whatever you’re in the mood for and have on hand.

Here are my fave cereal brands:
– Forager Project Grain-free O’s Cinnamon
– Barbara’s Puffins Cinnamon Cereal
– Lovebird Cereal

Momma’s Famous Crumb Cake (GF, DF)

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

My mom hands down makes some of the best crumb cake around so I of course was determined to “little adapt” this recipe too! I’m not going to lie but this recipe testing took a LONG time because I wanted to preserve the taste and texture of the cake as much as possible. My final attempt was a success as it was approved by not only my boo, but all of my Little Adapts By Jax App trailer talent! The best part is that it’s gluten-free and dairy-free. You NEED to make this for Easter brunch this weekend or the next time you have your friends over for brunch 🙂 I know I am!

Crumb Topping:
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Follow directions on the box and grease a 13” x 9” pan. Bake for about 15-17 minutes. You don’t want the top browned but you do want the top layer to be solid so the crumbs don’t fall into the cake.
  3. While the cake is baking, mix the dry ingredients for the crumbs. Then add in vanilla extract and the melted vegan butter.
  4. Mix with a spoon until a thick texture starts to form. Use your hands to crumble the crumbs on top. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top if adding them to the recipe.
  5. Bake for an additional 15-17 minutes until the crumbs are browned.
  6. Cool for 10-15 minutes and then serve + enjoy! Keep covered or in any airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If your pan is bigger, cook the cake slightly less. If your pan is smaller, cook the cake for slightly longer.

Strawberry Banana Muffins (Vegan!)

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

It’s Reboot time so I’m always creating new healthy recipes that can be used as a meal, snack or healthy dessert. These strawberry banana vegan muffins are only sweetened with the fruit and use flax eggs to make it fully vegan. I also opted to use almond and coconut flour to make it lower carb and more paleo/keto friendly! The results? Super moist muffins that you can eat at almost any time of the day.

Super Seed Porridge (Low Carb!)

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

I love warm bowls in the winter so I have been experimenting a lot with different bases for the bowls. I’ve been doing this for two reasons:

  1. Maximize nutrients by varying the ingredients
  2. Providing low carb options for my clients

This porridge is packed with 3 types of seeds that will provide your body with plant based protein, omega-3s and healthy fat! You can top it however you like but you will definitely want to throw this breakfast into the rotation 🙂

Zucchini Fritters

- littleadaptsbyjax@gmail.com

Not sure why I haven’t made these before, but they are absolutely delicious and were originally first made by Dubs. As always, I took his recipe and “little adapted” them even more. These are perfect to pair with eggs for breakfast or eat as a side as they taste similar to hash browns or latkes. Regardless, you won’t regret making them as they are super easy to make. Enjoy!

  • ¼ cup tapioca or arrowroot starch
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • Avocado or olive oil for frying

  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add batter to the pan. You'll want to make each fritter about the size of a pancake.
  3. Fry for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. When you flip to the second side, press lightly to flatten each fritter and cover with a large pot lid to allow the inside of the fritter to cook more.
