Banana Oat and Coconut Muffins...

Ingredients:

1-2 or 1/2 Cup Super Ripe Banana (Mashed)

1/2 Cup Oat Flour

1-2 scoops Protein powder

2 Tbsp Coconut Flour (3 Tbsp if you're omitting the protein powder)

1/2 Tsp Baking Soda

1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

1 Egg

1 Egg White

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon (Optional)

2 Tbsp Mini Chocolate Chips (I only used 18 to sprinkle on top)

Yields: 6

Using a fork to combine everything...

After 20 mins of baking and cooling off...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I found this recipe on IG from a feed I follow: fithealthyrecipes the original recipe came from lean_lisha

Preheat oven to 350 F
In a bowl whisk all dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients until combined. I didn't have any protein so I skipped this option and added another tablespoon of the coconut flour instead. I also added the cinnamon as I love anything with it!
At this point you can fold in your mini chocolate chips, or do what I did and place them on top.
Spray your baking tin and fill it evenly to fit the 6. I used a medium sized ice-cream scoop for convenience. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy! And if you do bake these tag me! #passorpraiseworthyblogbakes

* round 2 this time with coconut flakes 

Apple Cinnamon and Sugar Croissants...

3/4 of a stick of butter (I only had salted)

1 Pillsbury Crescents Roll

Plated and ready to eat...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. The other day I had an apple croissant from Whole Foods and ever since then I've been craving more. This recipe is a cross between a churro and an apple pie! = Yummo

Recipe:

Follow the instructions on the package on how to roll and wrap.

Proscuitto Wrapped Chicken with Steamed Veggies...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving:D I think I gained a few pounds from all the meals *~* 

Anywho, here's a dish I made a week ago...try it and let me know your thoughts!

Ingredients:

1 Skinless boneless Chicken Breast

3-5 slices of Proscuitto

Handful of steamed veggies ( I purchased those ready washed veggie bags from the grocery store)

1/2 Lemon 

Salt and Pepper to season chicken 

1 tbsp Olive Oil

*recipe adapted from Martha Stewart

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Here's another recipe that's quick and easy, serves 2. Preheat oven to 350 F. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper (since proscuitto is salty already I only used a tiny amount of salt to season). Lay proscuitto flat tin foil and wrap around chicken, placing seam side down. Place on baking sheet and coat with olive oil, baking for 20 -35 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breast). Chicken should be cooked through and proscuitto nice and crispy. While chicken is baking, steam veggies in microwave or steamer. Remove chicken from oven and right before serving hit the chicken with a squeeze of lemon. Adds a nice zing!
