If you're into meal prep or want to start planning ahead for the workweek, these delicious muffins are a great grab-and-go breakfast that you can make ahead, refrigerate or freeze, and warm up in the microwave before running out of the house. Or sit down and enjoy with a cup of hot coffee. Great for kids' lunch boxes and snacks, too, they are filled with fiber from oats, and have deliciously sweet banana flavor, without the loads of sugar that come in store-bought or bakery-made treats. If you have some ripe bananas around, put them to good use and make a batch of muffins.

The deliciously crisp oat and cinnamon crumble topping on top can be optional, so if you want to keep them more for breakfast and less as a treat, skip it, but if you want a more decadent treat, go ahead and bake them with the crumble. Besides the flavor, it gives the muffins added texture and visual appeal.

Instant Pot Vegan Yogurt
This homemade yogurt is delicious on its own, or you might want to add flavor when it's ready. Add some pure vanilla extract to the finished yogurt along with honey or another sweetener, or serve it with berries and crunchy bits of granola. Yogurt is acidic, making it an excellent savory marinade for many dishes, such as tandoori chicken, tikka masala, and Middle Eastern shawarma. In many cases, yogurt may be used in many recipes as a substitute for sour cream.

Ingredients
2 quarts milk, preferably whole
1/4 cup yogurt with live active cultures, or yogurt starter

lot of "healthy" bars are simply cookies in disguise. Not only is this bar not a cookie, but its name is so fun to say that you’ll want to make them just so you can tell everyone that you’re baking a big batch of banana bread bars.

They contain 9 grams of protein from egg whites and only natural sugars from fruit. The toasted wheat bran gives the bars a bready flavor without the addition of flour, while the cinnamon, bananas and walnuts deliver that classic beloved banana bread taste. For an extra-delicious boost, pop a bar in the toaster oven briefly, then follow with a slathering of chunky natural peanut butter.
