Strawberry fruit leather is a fun and healthy snack that provides nutritious vitamins kids need in a fun little roll that they’ll love. Fruit roll ups are perfect for an on-the-go snack or an addition to any lunchbox, you won’t believe how easy it is to make!
This time of year tends to lean toward craziness. With the school year winding down, the calendar is full of activities that have my family on the run most days. I love all the activity of ball games, practices and school programs, but it does become difficult to keep up with the demands of the family, job and house. It forces me to be a bit more organized, planning meals and making sure I have snacks on hand to grab as we run out the door.
Simple, healthy, and delicious, these Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats are your new favorite breakfast! They’re gluten-free & great for busy mornings.
Oh, overnight oats! The simplest breakfast there ever was. I mean, what’s better than waking up to breakfast already completely done? I can’t think of anything else!
I love to mix up my overnight oats using seasonal flavors. Banana Fosters oats all year round, fruity oats with berries in the summer, pumpkin in the fall, and also apples in the colder months! Apples are so crisp and sweet right now, and they’re so amazing in these creamy overnight oats. Cinnamon adds a wonderful spice to the oats that isn’t overpowering – so your kids can definitely handle it!
These couldn’t be easier – 5 minutes of prep at night to have breakfast waiting for you when you wake up. Make a few jars of these apple cinnamon overnight oats to eat throughout the week and you won’t have to think about breakfast ever again!

Mixed with some cinnamon, pecans, and a drizzle of molasses, it’s the perfect fall addition to your morning bowl of oats. Plus, all you have to do is mix everything the night before, wake up, and dig in!

Prep Time:10 mins
Cook Time:10 mins
Total Time:20 mins
Yield:10-12 4" pancakes
Category:Breakfast
Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (flax meal)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sugar or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup milk (or non-dairy substitute)
3/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
Grease a griddle, and preheat over medium heat. (Or you can use a pan on your stovetop.)
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, flax meal, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, vanilla, applesauce, and milk. Slowly pour the liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously. Mix until you get the lumps out of the batter. Gently fold in the blueberries.
On your griddle, begin to cook the pancakes, using about 1/4 cup of the batter for each one.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they start to bubble around the edges and flip. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the griddle, and serve. Top with blueberries and maple syrup.
Notes
Not all gluten-free all purpose flours are the same. You may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of flour to get the right texture.
