Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole

October 16, 2018 by Rachel Leave a Comment

I LOVE a good breakfast casserole, but most of them are loaded with carbs and have way too many calories. This Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole is packed with veggies and absolutely delicious. It’s perfect for everything from busy week days or a slow weekend brunch.

Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole

I’m a big fan of breakfast food, especially when we are enjoying a lazy weekend or celebrating a holiday.

This makes the perfect quick breakfast or special brunch main course. I know that we are DEFINITELY planning on serving this as our Christmas morning breakfast. The nice thing is, you can make it the night before so it is all ready to go.

This has so much flavor that you won’t even miss the carbs. Actually, my carb and meat loving family gobbled this one before their traditional breakfast casserole was gone, so I’d say it was a hit.

Low-Carb Breakfast Casserole Ingredients

  • 2-3 Bell peppers, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 large handful of spinach
  • 1 cup cheese, shredded
  • 10 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 cup mushrooms, 1 cup chopped asparagus

Sugar-Free Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding

April 23, 2018 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Who else loves a big glass or Horchata? it’s my guilty pleasure when we have Mexican food . . . which is often around my house. This sugar-free Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding is completely guilt-free and tastes amazing. I love to enjoy this as a quick breakfast, easy snack or late-night treat.

Sugar-Free Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding

If you have never made chia pudding, that’s going to change right here. Chia pudding is super easy to make and is loaded with fantastic nutrients. I love using chia pudding as a way for my kids to get some extra fiber in their diet. Sometimes, we’ll even just mix a few Tablespoons of chia seeds into juice in the morning for my kids.

The texture of chia seeds once they soak up some liquid is fun. They become almost like gelatin and they give this easy pudding it’s thickness.

I make chia pudding the night before and it is ready to go the next morning. If you don’t have time the night before, you’ll need at least 2-3 hours for this to set up.

Sugar-Free Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds – I snag mine on Amazon or through Thrive Market (get 25% off of a membership for a limited time) because I find that it’s more affordable than buying them locally)
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
  • Optional: 1 Tbsp. maple syrup

Sugar-Free Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding Instructions

Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding

This really could not be easier to make. In a large mason jar, combine the chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well.

Gently stir in your sliced strawberries, or set aside to top your chia pudding with just before serving.

Seal container and place in the fridge overnight or for 2-3 hours for the pudding to set up. It is ready to eat when the chia seeds have absorbed quite a bit of the liquid and the pudding has thickened up.

Strawberry Horchata Chia Pudding

These are delicious anytime of the day. I usually make a few at once and eat them throughout the week. Leave the strawberries out if you won’t be eating it the next day. It’s easy to top these with fruit just before eating.

These Sugar-Free Raspberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal Squares are so good, you’ll never miss the sugar. I’ll often make these as a dessert when I want something just a bit sweet.

Sugar-Free Raspberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal Squares Instructions

Combine all ingredients, except raspberries in your mixer. I don’t even bother mashing the banana before hand. I don’t mind a few chunks of banana in this and it saves me an extra step.

Once mixed, gently stir in the raspberries. Mash them a bit as you go but be sure to leave them in larger pieces.

Spread your oatmeal mixture in a 9 x 13 pan that has been lightly coated with coconut oil.

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until baked through.

Serve these sliced into squares. This will keep in the fridge for several days but it never lasts that long at my house.

Sugar-Free Banana Oatmeal

May 18, 2016 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Finding a breakfast option that isn’t loaded with sugar can be difficult.

Most pre-packaged breakfast foods are more of a dessert than a breakfast food. This sugar-free banana oatmeal gets its sweetness from bananas and cinnamon and since you can make it in only 3 minutes, it’s also a super fast way to start your day!

Most breakfast foods are filled with sugar and that isn’t a great way to start your day. Even pre-packaged oatmeal and yogurt, foods that you would normally think of as healthy have a high sugar content.

I usually alternate between oatmeal and eggs for breakfast. Fortunately there’s a lot of room to play with variations of those.

This sugar-free banana oatmeal is one of my family’s favorite breakfasts. It’s surprisingly sweet thanks to the bananas and cinnamon, but contains no refined sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup milk or water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 banana, sliced

Preparation

Add your sliced banana to a microwave-safe bowl. Top with rolled oats, milk, and cinnamon.

Stir.

Microwave for a minute and half.

Remove from the microwave and stir.

Cook for another minute and a half and stir again.

That’s it!

You have perfectly cooked oatmeal with no added sugar. Since you made it yourself you know exactly what is in it but it’s still super fast to make. This is perfect for a busy morning!

3-Ingredient Banana Pancakes

March 19, 2016 by Rachel 35 Comments

I’m so glad you stopped by!

You are probably here because you are looking for a  sugar-free breakfast idea. These 3-ingredient pancakes are just what you need!

3-Ingredient Banana Pancakes - You'll never believe how simple these are but they taste amazing! Sugar-free, Dairy-free, and gluten-free too!

Most breakfast options are LOADED with sugar. That’s a terrible way to start your day!

Even if you aren’t going completely sugar-free, a sugary breakfast sets up for a sugar crash by late morning.

Banana pancakes are one of my favorites but most pancake mixes include sugar and they are not very nutrient-dense.

These pancakes are completely guilt-free! They are packed with protein and they are dairy-free, gluten-free and sugar-free! You could even make them completely grain-free with one minor adjustment.

Don’t eat oats? No worries. Check out our 3-Ingredient Protein Pancakes.

Ingredients

I usually triple this for my family but these measurements are a great place to start. Feel free to adjust the quantity to fit what you need.

  • 1 Banana
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup of oatmeal – If you would like to make these gluten-free, be sure you are using a gluten-free oatmeal.

Note: Want to make these grain-free? Check out our 3-Ingredient Protein Pancakes. You can also just leave out the oatmeal and these still turn out awesome. The only difference is they are a bit trickier to cook. Without the oats, you get a much thinner pancake and they tear easily so you have to be careful of that when you are cooking.

Banana Pancake Instructions

Put all ingredients into your blender and blend well for 15-20 seconds.

I am in love with my Blendtec for this. It gets everything so smooth and makes breakfast super simple. They are a bit pricey, but I promise it’s totally worth it. You can get a great deal on refurbished blenders directly from Blendtec too.

Cook your pancakes on a griddle heated to medium-high, cooking from for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

3-Ingredient Banana Pancakes - You'll never believe how simple these are but they taste amazing! Sugar-free, Dairy-free, and gluten-free too!

Serve with real maple syrup, peanut butter, or your favorite sugar-free jam!

Hi! I’m Rachel

Hi! I'm Rachel. I'm a mom of 6 who is working to cut the sugar out of my family's diet. After having twins a few years ago I have struggled to lose the baby weight. It turns out I had become insulin resistant. My path to weight loss started with cutting out all the sugar in my diet . . . and it was challenging. I found out that I don't just enjoy sugar, I'm addicted to it. Finding sugar-free recipes and tricks for dealing with sugar cravings has been so hard but I felt an immediate improvement in the way I felt and I lost 8 pounds within the first 2 weeks of going sugar-free.
