Lately, I’ve been starting my morning routine with a bowl of plain greek yogurt topped with berries, bananas, a handful of granola, and a drizzle of honey. It’s a flavor combo that never gets old for me—and thankfully, it packs a protein punch that energizes me through the morning. (Hot tip: if you pop this mixture into the freezer for 30 minutes, you’re basically eating fro-yo for breakfast—try it and thank me later.)

I’ve hosted a few brunch gatherings lately, and I decided to take my favorite breakfast and turn it into this slightly more sophisticated Berry and Yogurt Parfait. When served in a pretty glass, the layers of creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and crunchy granola feel elevated, though it takes just a few minutes to assemble. And thanks to the wholesome ingredients, this breakfast delivers a powerhouse of nutrients, including the protein I need to start my day strong.

A Nutrient-Dense Way to Welcome Busy Mornings

Let’s face it, mornings can be chaotic, and a berry and yogurt parfait is a perfect way to set yourself up for success. You can even meal prep these in a mason jar the night before, so they’re ready to grab and go before work or the gym. 

These are packed with protein to keep you full, loaded with vitamins from fresh berries, and full of gut-friendly probiotics that support digestion. The best part? They’re so customizable, so even my picky children can switch up the fruit flavors based on what they’re craving.

The Best Yogurt for Parfaits: What to Look For

• High Protein – Greek or Icelandic yogurt (Skyr) is the best option for sustained energy.
• Minimal Added Sugar – Look for plain or lightly-sweetened yogurt to avoid hidden sugars.
• Probiotic-Rich – Live cultures support gut health and digestion.
• Dairy-Free Alternatives – Coconut, almond, cashew, oat, or soy yogurt works great for those avoiding dairy.
• Creamy Texture – Look for full-fat versions for the best mouthfeel and nutrient absorption.

Protein Boosters to Take It to the Next Level

If you’re on the “30 grams of protein at breakfast” train, here are some ways to add even more protein to already protein-rich Greek yogurt:

• Nut Butter – A drizzle of almond or peanut butter adds healthy fats and protein
• Hemp Seeds or Chia Seeds – A spoonful provides plant-based protein and omega-3s.
• Protein Powder – Stir in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein for an extra boost.
• Cottage Cheese – Mix into yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.

Make-Ahead Tips to Bring More Ease to Your Mornings

You can meal prep this breakfast the night before: Layer yogurt & fruit in a mason jar, top with granola, and screw on the lid to make it a simple grab-and-go option you’ll actually look forward to eating. This parfait is proof that something quick can still feel intentional, and that nourishing your body at breakfast can be an effortless way to bring joy to your morning.

Since New Year’s Day is the final send-off to the holiday season, it has to include a little celebration and some majorly delicious brunch food. But if you’re like me, the past few weeks of holiday revelry have got you craving food that’s on the lighter side, and processed sugar bomb breakfast foods don’t even sound good anymore. Thankfully, crazy delicious doesn’t have to equal crazy indulgent. I’ve rounded up 25 New Year’s day brunch ideas that’ll be perfect additions to your January 1st lineup—without breaking any of your healthy eating resolutions.

25 New Year’s Day Brunch Ideas That Are Healthy and Delicious

And because we’re not in the business of sticking to strict food rules—or making any at all—we love ensuring that plenty of flavors are woven into our healthy eating picks. If you haven’t heard, indulgence isn’t an all-or-nothing thing. Instead, we prefer variety—in every sense of the word. It’s easy to crave fruits and veggies when you make them a part of a satiating and nourishing complete meal. And it isn’t hard to pass over sugary sweets when you’d rather go all in on the ultimate avocado toast.

Just because your social feeds are ripe with folks making hard-to-follow resolutions about what a healthy 2025 looks like for them, doesn’t mean you have to do the same.

Try picking a few goals that resonate with you. Whether that’s adding some more veggies to every meal, going meatless a few times a week, or simply aiming to bring more color to your plate. Remember: healthy eating shouldn’t feel like a chore. With that, keep scrolling for New Year’s day brunch ideas!

The post 25 Healthy and Delicious Brunch Recipes for New Year’s Day appeared first on Camille Styles.

Nothing feels more special for a holiday season breakfast than orange date cinnamon rolls. I love cinnamon rolls of every sort: from a pop tube, from scratch, eaten by unraveling the fluffy dough, and starting with the gooey centers first. While I can’t get enough of the classic, I made a few tweaks to tradition with this recipe by featuring an unexpected but wildly delicious ingredient in the filling: dates.

These orange date cinnamon rolls are just as ooey and gooey as the classic, but they’re made with no refined sugar in the filling. Instead, soaked dates blended with tons of spices and orange zest create the ultimate flavor spread, taking these cinnamon rolls to the next level. Trust me, your holiday brunch is about to get even more delicious.

How do you make date paste?

There’s nothing wrong with using a classic cinnamon-brown sugar crumble mixed with butter for a cinnamon roll filling. But truthfully, I am an absolute fiend about making my desserts and sweet treats not too sweet. I want to thoroughly enjoy my sweet treats, which means finding the right balance of flavors.

Using dates in the filling gives these orange date cinnamon rolls their classic gooey texture while retaining that caramel flavor. In fact, if you didn’t know I used dates, it might be hard to guess they’re in there. To make the date paste, soak pitted dates in hot water until they’re soft (this takes about 20-30 minutes). Then, blend the dates with spices and orange zest until smooth. If the paste feels too thick, add some of the reserved date water for a smooth, spreadable texture. Don’t worry—I was a date skeptic too, but this is a great party trick for adding flavor in an unexpected way.

What spices go into the filling for these cinnamon rolls?

Y’all know I love fresh spices, and to make these orange date cinnamon rolls as balanced as possible, I go heavy-handed on the spices. I used freshly ground cinnamon, a healthy dose of ginger, cardamom, salt, and lots of orange zest. Before baking, the filling will taste a little spicy with a savory finish—addictive like a hot tamale. But once the cinnamon rolls are baked and covered in frosting, all the heat mellows out and turns into an unctuous, flavor-forward treat.

How do I make cinnamon roll dough?

I’ve been a disciple of Sarah Kieffer’s for a long time and have made her cinnamon rolls more times than I can count. Making risen dough can feel intimidating, but I’ve learned to go through the motions and understand how to feel the dough to know when it’s ready. For these orange date cinnamon rolls, I use Sarah’s recipe, which makes an incredibly soft and pillowy dough.

What do I frost these cinnamon rolls with?

Four words: orange cream cheese frosting. Silky, slightly sweet, and balanced with zesty orange, this frosting is the ultimate topping for orange date cinnamon rolls. When they come out of the oven, spread a thin layer while the rolls are still warm so the frosting melts into every nook and cranny. Add the rest after they cool a bit, and save any extra—you’ll definitely want it around.

Ingredients

Units USM

for the dough: 

• Use your favorite cinnamon roll dough recipe—I used Sarah Kieffer’s recipe for the dough. Follow prep instructions.

for the filling:

• 12–15 Medjool dates, pitted
• 2 cups of simmering hot water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 tsp salt
• zest of 1 orange
• 1–2 tablespoons orange juice

for the orange cream cheese frosting:

• 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 1 – 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• zest of 1/2 an orange

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

---

Instructions

1. Prep your favorite cinnamon roll dough. Make the date paste during final rise.
2. To make the date paste, add about 2 cups of water to a stovetop pot and bring to a simmer or to a tea kettle. Add the pitted dates to a large bowl and pour over the hot water. Let the dates sit in the water for about 20-30 minutes until they are soft.
3. In a food processor, add the softened dates (reserve the water), cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, salt, and orange zest and juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust spices. If you like your mixture a little sweeter, you can add a tablespoon of coconut sugar, but I think these come out sweet enough without. If the paste is too thick, add a tablespoon of the date water at a time if needed.
4. Roll out your dough into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle and spread the date paste into an even layer on the dough. Starting with the long side, roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, cut the dough into 1-2 inch thick rolls (depending on how big you like your cinnamon rolls).
5. Place the rolls into a prepped pan and follow your dough instructions if the rolls need another rise and follow dough instructions for the baking directions.
6. While the rolls are baking, prep the frosting. Add the cream cheese, butter powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, orange juice and zest into a bowl. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.
7. When the rolls are done baking, remove from oven and spread over 1/2 cup of frosting on the warm rolls. Set aside and let come to room temperature. When slightly cooler, spread over additional frosting. Enjoy!

This year, like every year, we’re all about taking the stress out of the holiday season. We’re saying yes to shortcuts and no to the things that zap our energy. While the kitchen is arguably the center of the holiday action, we’re using all the time-saving hacks we can find to help us spend more time by the fire with friends and family. The key to a smooth-sailing Christmas? It all lies in the amount of prep you can tackle beforehand, starting with breakfast. To share some inspiration for getting your to-do’s out of the way, we’re sharing our favorite Christmas breakfast ideas. Because doing all the hard work in advance makes for a much happier holiday.

There’s nothing better than lounging around in our holiday pajamas with a big cup of coffee on Christmas morning. While a younger version of myself was quick to hop out of bed at 4 a.m. (that’s not a joke) and run downstairs to revel in the magic of a twinkly, present-flocked tree, I take things muuuuuch more leisurely now as an adult. You can catch me on Christmas puttering around in my slippers, happy to move about the house at a snail’s pace. In other words: slowly. Very slowly.

The post Craving an Easy Christmas Morning Breakfast? These 20 Recipes Are Your Answer appeared first on Camille Styles.

Christmas morning is a time for many things. Cozy holiday pajamas, family snuggles, the sound of gift wrap being torn off new treasures, and, if you’re lucky, a fresh blanket of perfectly white snow outside your window. (We’re low on the latter down here in Texas, but a girl can hope.) One thing Christmas morning is not for? Spending the entire AM in the kitchen. Enter easy Christmas puff pastry rolls.

Christmas morning is too magical a time to spend in front of a stove. Now, if you’re one of those domestic goddesses that can pull off a family-sized breakfast before 7 a.m., respect. I, however, am not one of those people. In a house full of merrymakers, I tend to be one of the last ones out of bed (no offense, Santa), but one of the first ones to ask what’s for breakfast? These easy Christmas morning cinnamon rolls are the answer.

Store-bought puff pastry sheets are what brings the magic to this recipe. They’re incredibly easy to work with and bake up insanely flakey and delicious. I can’t advocate for these guys enough. From morning buns to bite-sized appetizers, to baked brie, frozen puff pastry is my kitchen’s best-kept secret. For this recipe, we fill the pastry with butter (of course), sugar, fragrant orange zest, and warm winter spices. Roll them up, bake them until golden and toasty, and voilà, you’ve got an extra special breakfast pastry, worthy of the most special day of the year, in around 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Why Puff Pastry Rolls Are the Ultimate Crowd-Pleaser

There’s something undeniably magical about puff pastry—it transforms even the simplest of ingredients into something show-stopping. These cinnamon-sugar puff pastry rolls prove just that. A buttery, flaky exterior gives way to swirls of warm spices, sweet brown sugar, and a hint of bright orange zest. Every bite strikes the perfect balance between cozy and indulgent, making these rolls ideal for breakfast, brunch, or an anytime treat that feels special without requiring hours of effort. They’re the kind of treat that looks like you spent all morning in the kitchen, but thanks to frozen puff pastry, you’ll be sipping coffee while they bake.

What makes these puff pastry rolls so universally loved is their versatility. Whether you’re serving them fresh out of the oven for Christmas morning, plating them as a sweet addition to your holiday brunch table, or sharing them with friends over coffee, they always hit the mark. The magic happens in the details: massaging orange zest into sugar to release its natural oils, letting butter and cinnamon melt into every flaky layer, and finishing with a dip in cinnamon-sugar for that irresistible, caramelized crunch. Effortlessly elegant and downright delicious, these rolls are guaranteed to earn you a standing ovation—no matter the occasion.

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground clove

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F and liberally grease a muffin tin. Set aside.
2. To make the sugar mixture for the filling, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, zest and spices in a small bowl. Use your fingertips to massage the zest into the sugar to release the oil (and flavor!). Set aside.
3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar onto a clean countertop. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar and gently press with a rolling pin to ensure it’s flat and that the sugar starts to stick.
4. Spread 2 tablespoons of butter over the surface of the puff pastry, then sprinkle with half of the sugar mixture, ensuring the entire sheet is covered. Roll again with a rolling pin to ensure the sugar sticks to the butter.
5. Turn the puff pastry so the short side faces you, and then roll into a tight roll. Cut into 6 equal pieces and place each roll into the greased muffin tin. Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked, place the muffin tin on a cooling rack to cool for 5-10 minutes, then remove and let cool for another 5 minutes. Do not let the buns cool in the pan too long or the melted caramelized sugar will start to harden and they will stick.
7. To finish the buns, dip the top of the buns in cinnamon sugar and serve warm.
   
    
    

The post 30-Minute Morning Buns That Look (and Taste) Impressive appeared first on Camille Styles.

It’s finally here: my mom has agreed to let me share the recipe for her famous almond kringle she makes every year for Christmas morning breakfast. A slice of this almond kringle served warm out of the oven with a cup of coffee is one of my favorite things I eat all year. The almond-filled scents wafting from the oven are forever synonymous with the coziest holiday feels.

My mom is the person who taught me to cook, though it was an informal education of simply spending time together in the kitchen and watching as she intuitively prepared simple, delicious food for our family growing up. But she’s always loved a standout baking project, and doesn’t shy away from towering layer cakes or from-scratch butter croissants worthy of a French bakery. I’d put this almond bread in the latter category. Even though it’s not complicated, it does have that “wow” factor that makes it feel so special and worthy of being the centerpiece of a holiday brunch.

Almond Kringle Ingredients

My mom’s almond kringle combines pantry staples like flour, sugar, and yeast with rich ingredients like heavy cream, butter, and almond paste to create a beautifully flaky and flavorful pastry. Adding warm spices, crunchy sliced almonds, and almond extract ensures each bite is as indulgent as it is balanced.

Warm milk: Helps activate the yeast for a soft, fluffy texture in the dough. Use milk that’s just warm to the touch, not hot.

White sugar: Sweetens the dough and provides food for the yeast to ferment properly.

Active-dry yeast: Essential for leavening the kringle, creating its characteristic light and airy texture.

Heavy cream: Adds richness and moisture to the dough, resulting in a tender crumb.

All-purpose flour: Provides the structure and elasticity needed for the dough to hold its shape.

Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor profile.

Butter: Ensures the dough is tender and flaky, lending richness to every bite.

Almond paste: The star ingredient of the filling, delivering a sweet almond flavor.

Sliced almonds: Adds texture and a nutty crunch to the filling and topping.

Cinnamon: Infuses warmth and spice, complementing the almond’s sweetness beautifully.

Almond extract: Amplifies the almond flavor.

Egg white: Creates a glossy finish and helps the sliced almonds adhere to the kringle.

Sliced almonds (topping): Provide a toasty, crunchy contrast to the soft, flaky pastry.

My Mom’s Tips for Almond Kringle Success

From my mom: “I like to mix the dry ingredients in the food processor, then pulse in the butter till it is the size of small beans. It’s especially important to chill everything before getting started, including a marble rolling pin or board, to keep the dough from sticking.”

She reminded me that the rolling pin and marble board that she uses to make the bread (pictured above) belonged to my paternal grandmother Mo, who purchased them years ago so she could make my mom’s almond kringle, too! Proof of a true family tradition. My mom took them for her own when Mo passed away, and it’s such a sweet way to remember her every time she rolls out the dough for my grandmother’s favorite bread.

The recipe calls for this loaf to be made into a pretzel shape, but for family gatherings, my mom started doing the heart shape a few years ago. I love the way it looks in the center of our table.

How to Serve Almond Kringle

There’s something magical about savoring a slice of almond kringle on a chilly Christmas morning. I love the buttery layers and sweet almond filling perfectly paired with my favorite warm drink. Whether you’re sipping coffee pre-stockings or indulging with a rich hot cocoa while unwrapping gifts, this pastry elevates the moment into a cozy ritual. Its delicate sweetness and nutty depth seem tailor-made for quiet mornings filled with holiday cheer.

For storing leftovers: Store any leftover kringle in an airtight container. When you’re ready for another slice, a quick warm-up in the oven brings back its just-baked aroma and flaky texture. When shared with loved ones, this almond kringle becomes more than a pastry—it’s the heart of your holiday morning.

Scroll on for the recipe. I’d love to hear what holiday traditions you’re celebrating in the comments!

• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon white sugar (divided)
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
• 3 egg yolks, beaten (use the whites below)
• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 egg white, beaten
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, stir together the milk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand for 10 minutes to dissolve. Stir in cream and egg yolks.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or pinching with your fingers until it is a course mealy texture. Stir in the yeast mixture until well blended.
3. Pat dough into a ball (or divide into two balls to make two loaves which is a bit easier.) Flatten slightly, then wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
4. To make the filling, mix the almond paste, egg whites, almonds, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and almond extract using an electric mixer until evenly blended. It may be crumbly.
5. Roll the chilled dough out into a 24-inch wide and 18-inch long rectangle. Spread the filling to within 2 inches of the sides and roll up into a tube. Cover your work surface with sugar, and roll the tube of dough in the sugar to coat thoroughly. Roll and stretch the dough out to form a long rope about 36 inches long.
6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape into a pretzel or heart shape.
7. Brush the top of the dough with egg white and sprinkle with almonds. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Bake the kringle in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. You may need to cover it with foil for the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning. Cut into slices and eat!

Notes

This bread can be made in advance and frozen for up to a month, wrapped carefully in foil. Thaw Christmas morning and bake till warm on a cookie sheet.  Cover lightly with foil to prevent over-browning.

The post The Almond Kringle Recipe That Makes Holiday Mornings Magical appeared first on Camille Styles.

When I think of porridge, my mind instantly drifts to my roommate from my first year living in Minneapolis. While I have completely changed my perspective on breakfast (I’m 1000% team hearty breakfast now), at the time I was a chronic breakfast skipper. My roommate and I would be doing the pre-work AM dance in the kitchen, getting our work bags together and lunches packed. While I was fine with my cup of morning tea, she was always cooking up a big pot of oatmeal. More than once, I thought out loud how oatmeal was my least favorite breakfast. Being the morning person between the two of us, she would simply smile and diatribe about how much she loved oatmeal. Well, I’m here to finally say that I’ve come around to a cozy bowl of grains in the morning, and I consider this my ode to our time as roommates.

Let’s start by defining what a porridge is. Oatmeal is a type of porridge, but porridge is not oatmeal, though they are sometimes used interchangeably. Porridge is a warm, grain-based bowl, whose name will depend on the type of grain being used. It’s cozy, warming, and hearty, and can be topped with anything your heart desires. In this version, I’m using toasted amaranth, warming cardamom, and topping it all off with some sweet maple pears. Get ready for your new favorite winter breakfast.

Cardamom Pear Porridge Ingredients

The ingredient list for this porridge is very simple, but to ensure it’s full of flavor, pick the best quality ingredients you can find.

Amaranth. You can use your grain of choice, but I love amaranth’s sweet, nutty flavor.

Butter or oil. This is optional, but if I’m craving a richer porridge, I’ll toast my grains in a pat of butter or a little olive oil.

Cardamom. My OG favorite spice. Floral and aromatic, it pairs beautifully with the amaranth.

Cream or milk. Again, depending on how rich you want your porridge, add milk or cream. Sometimes I’ll even do a blend!

Pears. You could also use apples, peaches in the summer, figs, or whatever fruit you like.

Maple syrup. This helps add flavor and caramelizes the fruit.

Brown sugar. This works with the maple syrup to bring a little added sweetness to the fruit.

Salt. To help balance the flavor and sweetness.

Toppings. This is where we get to have fun. Choose what you love!

Preparation Tips

• Perfect your grains-to-liquid ratio. I like my porridge a little on the thinner side. I usually follow a 1:2.5, and sometimes a 1:3 ratio of grains to liquid. Here, I use a cup of amaranth to about 2-2.5 cups of milk/cream, and another half-cup of water.
• Toast your grains first. To maximize flavor, I toast my grains in the pot first with the cardamom to bring out that toasty and nutty flavor.
• Let your liquid come to room temperature. Then, you’ll just add your liquid. It helps if it’s at room temperature, but I’ve used milk straight from the fridge. Bring the porridge up to a low boil. Cook until the liquid has been reduced and the texture has thickened.
• Salt your porridge. While it might sound strange, given that this is a sweet breakfast recipe, salting your porridge ensures you get the best flavor possible.
• Add your pears. I’ll add my maple syrup with a bit of salt and brown sugar to the pot, perhaps some spices if I like, and bring that up to low/medium heat. I add my pears in and let them cook until they just start to become tender. I prefer my fruit not to be super soft, but keep cooking until they reach your desired texture. You can also add pecans or walnuts to get them nice and caramelized.

Cardamom Pear Porridge Toppings

Porridge lends itself well to lots of fun combinations of toppings. For this version, I like to keep the flavors pretty simple and lean on hemp seeds, pecans, perhaps a little nut butter, and honey. In the summer, I love adding brightness with jams, fresh tropical fruits, coconut, and more. You could also add a thick yogurt for extra protein, banana slices, or even a bit of chocolate if you wanted to really lean into indulgence.

Ingredients

Units USM

• 1 tablespoon butter or oil (optional)
• 1 cup amaranth
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2–2 1/2 cups milk or cream of choice (room temperature)

Instructions

1. In a stovetop pot, add the butter if using (you can also toast the amaranth in a dry pot), and bring the pot to medium heat. Add the amaranth, cardamom, and salt. Toast for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Add the milk, water, and sweetener of choice. Bring the porridge up to a low boil, cover, and stir frequently, until the porridge has thickened, about 20 – 25 minutes until the amaranth has soaked up the liquid.
2. While the porridge cooks, prepare the pears. In a pan, add the maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt. Bring up to a low/medium heat. Add the pears and coat in the maple syrup. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugars don’t burn.
3. To serve, add warm porridge to a bowl and top with pears and additional desired toppings. I like to add a splash of milk/cream on top in addition to seeds, nuts, and fruits. Enjoy!

What “first” of fall is your favorite way? Is it that first chill in the air when you walk out your door in the morning? The crunch of an apple, or the roar of a football stadium? It could even be a song—for me, any song from Keane’s album Hopes and Fears immediately takes me back to the autumn of my sophomore year of college.

How about this: it’s a lazy Saturday morning, the aroma of pumpkin spice wafts through your kitchen, and the warm glow of your cozy home wraps around you like a favorite sweater. That’s the magic of fall, and these pumpkin protein pancakes are the perfect way to welcome the season. After a few rounds of recipe testing, I’ve finally landed on the most delicious and nourishing, protein-packed pancakes that feel like a treat—without the blood sugar crash. Read on and I’ll share exactly how to make these, including a few tips for success and how to whip them up the night before.

Let’s talk protein pancakes

These pancakes aren’t just a feast for the senses—they’ll boost your energy levels, too. Traditional pancakes can cause a sugar spike that leaves you crashing an hour later. But these pumpkin protein pancakes, made with nutrient-rich ingredients, offer a balanced approach that keeps you feeling full and satisfied.

Let’s be honest—most protein pancakes leave a lot to be desired in the texture and flavor department, and since my kids are tough critics, I knew I had to make these every bit as delicious as the more traditional recipes.

Here’s what makes these pumpkin protein pancakes the best:

• Protein-Packed Power: By incorporating full-fat cottage cheese, these pancakes deliver a substantial dose of protein. Protein helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing those pesky energy crashes and keeping you fuller for longer.
• Fall Flavor Boost: Pumpkin purée not only infuses the pancakes with a delightful fall flavor but also adds vitamins A and C, as well as fiber.
• Gluten-Free Goodness: Using gluten-free flour makes these pancakes accessible for those with dietary restrictions, so everyone can join in the autumnal fun.

Tips for Success:

• Prepping the Night Before: For a smoother morning, prepare the dry ingredients and store them in an airtight container. In the morning, blend the wet ingredients, mix with the dry, and you’re ready to cook!
• Perfect Pancake Texture: Ensure your skillet is hot enough but not too hot. Medium heat works best to cook pancakes evenly without burning.

Fall in Love with Breakfast

These pumpkin protein pancakes will turn any weekend into a fall celebration that you can share with family and friends. They’re more than just a meal—they’re a comforting ritual, a way to savor the season’s essence in every bite. So, pull out your apron, turn on some music that makes you happy, and let these cozy fall flavors transform your weekend into a new tradition.

The post Wake Up to Fall—Pumpkin Protein Pancakes Are Your Cozy Weekend Treat appeared first on Camille Styles.

Just when you thought you couldn’t look at another avocado toast in your Instagram feed, we pop up with an entire post devoted to it. Yes, there are a lot of toast recipes out there—with some venturing into savory territory, like this mushroom toast with arugula, or this slow-roasted tomato and ricotta variety. There are even some that toe the line between believable and bizarre. (Hello, the yogurt toast trend that once took the internet by storm.) Despite these, avocado toast is undeniably the gold standard. After all, food trends may come and go, but the best avocado toast recipes are forever.

The Best Avocado Toast Recipes That Redefine the Trend

Avocado toast has just the right amount of good-for-you fats and energizing carbs. Plus the fact that putting it together takes less than five minutes makes it pretty much the perfect breakfast. And as we’ve learned over the past couple of years, avocado toast recipes are here to stay. That’s why we’ve taken time to reinvent the combo into something bold in flavor and rich in texture.

Ahead, you’ll find all kinds of variations on the best avocado toast recipes. Whether you’re looking for easy breakfast recipes, weekend brunch recipes, or a good ‘ole midday snack, you’ll find a new favorite or two (or three!) in these 15 avocado toast recipes. You can thank me later.

Avocado Toast with Kale Pesto and Crunchy Veggies

Why We Love It: As the name denotes, this avo toast packs a lot of crunch. With radishes (or cucumber!) and fresh herbs, there’s no shortage of texture contrast. Again, this recipe is avocado toast with an upgrade that’s welcome and appreciated. You can use any herbs you have on hand, but basil, mint, chives, and cilantro are some suggestions.

Hero Ingredient: Kale pesto tops this avocado toast with all kinds of nutty, garlicky flavor and even nutrients! It’s easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy.

Tuna and Avocado Toast with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Pesto

Why We Love It: Niçoise Salad meets avocado toast? Sounds like a dream. Toasted sourdough gets smeared with kale pesto, mashed avocado, crisp cucumber, garlicky roasted tomatoes, oil-packed tuna, and a handful of fresh basil to create something truly magical. On top of all that flavor, this recipe is packed with healthy fat and protein, which will help keep you satisfied longer. This one is on my weekday lunch calendar, and I highly encourage you to give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Hero Ingredient: Fresh basil definitely takes the cake. Give it a smack before layering it on your toast to wake up each and every aromatic note.

Sunday Night Avocado Toast with a Jammy Egg

Why We Love It: Blistered tomatoes, everything seasoning, and a perfect egg walk into a bar. Kidding, but they do make a killer toast! This recipe is basic avocado toast kicked up a notch. With those juicy tomatoes, you’re getting incredible flavor throughout that’s enhanced by that mouthwatering jammy egg and everything bagel seasoning. I mean, just look at it.

Hero Ingredient: Definitely going to have to go with that egg. By following the eight-minute method, you’re getting an egg that’s perfectly set with just the right amount of runny yolk. I’m into it.

Avocado Toast With Egg & Frisée

Why We Love It: If you’re looking to change things up, try this recipe with frisée (also known as curly endive) and a great whole-grain mustard for some extra tang. It takes all the familiar avocado toast components and shakes them up with peppery frisée and spicy stone ground mustard. Plus, a classic fried egg laid over top gives this toast the perfect amount of ooze to warm your soul.

Hero Ingredient: I love the addition of mustard. It brings a lot of flavor and even a little kick to the party.

Avocado Toast Bar

Why We Love It: When our favorite toast meets hosting, all is right in the world. That’s exactly the case with this DIY avocado toast bar. Make it a reality at your next brunch by choosing your favorite toppings, setting the stage, and having everyone dig in to craft their own creations. A few fun topping ideas are watermelon radishes, chickpeas, beets, sprouts, fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Only half of the fun lies in creating your own—that other half is reserved for finding out what your guests made.

Hero Ingredient: Since the toppings are so customizable, I’m going with a hero method. To make things easier on yourself, you can prep all of your toppings ahead of time so all that’s left to do when you’re ready to serve is slice those avocados and toast some bread!

Avocado Wasa Cracker Breakfast Toast

Why We Love It: This avocado cracker/toast hybrid is totally delicious. And unbelievably easy. All you have to do is lay out a few multigrain crackers of your choosing, top with eggs and radish, and finish each cracker off with olive oil, fresh dill, red pepper flakes, and s&p. Once you’ve done that, you’ve got a crunchy and sustainable meal or snack for any time of day. The best part? It only takes about ten minutes.

Hero Ingredient: I love sprinkling red pepper flakes on my avocado toast. It brings just the right amount of kick to each tasty bite.

Smashed Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: If you thought you knew upgraded avocado toast recipes, think again. This version from Two Hands NYC takes things to the next level. At its core, it’s just like any of the other avocado toast recipes you know and love, which start with a base of thick-sliced, crusty sourdough bread smeared with mashed avocado. But as we advance to the toppings, things get interesting. In addition to perfectly poached eggs, this toast houses pickled red onions, pickled or fresh Fresno chiles, salty pepitas, and a handful of mixed fresh herbs. It’s a combination you won’t want to miss.

Hero Ingredient: This recipe swaps red pepper flakes for thinly-sliced Fresno chiles, which bring even more heat to the table.

Crispy Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Yogurt, Herbs, and Everything Spice

Why We Love It: As promised, this is where the non-toast avocado toast recipes come to fruition. Not only are sweet potatoes loaded with good nutritional properties like high fiber levels, immune-strengthening abilities, and positive gut benefits, they’re absolutely delicious. Truly, I could eat them every day (and sometimes do!). For this “toast” recipe, they get roasted until they’re caramelized and topped with, well, whatever you want! Fresh herbs, Greek yogurt, avocado, and sriracha make a winning team.

Hero Ingredient: I have to go with the sweet potatoes themselves. The secret is to sear the potatoes in a skillet after they finish roasting. That way, they become completely caramelized with just-burnt edges to usher in a hint of bitterness. Think really toasty marshmallow.

Spicy Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: In the scheme of avocado toast recipes, this is one tried-and-true toast. This recipe takes you back to the basics with a simple but lovable combination of toast, avocado, fried eggs, red pepper flakes, and fresh cilantro. It’s a formula you can never go wrong with. Like your favorite sweater or blanket, it’s comforting and constant.

Hero Ingredient: A healthy squeeze of lime over top brings a citrusy tang that complements the creamy avocado.

Sweet Potato Guacamole Toasts

Why We Love It: And we’re back with more sweet potatoes! In this recipe, they’re sliced, roasted, and topped with red onion, watermelon radish, microgreens, cilantro, lime juice, and—of course—avocado. They’re cut into the cutest handheld shapes that are so easy to grab and snack on. While this can definitely be breakfast or lunch, those little potato toasts make a pretty great snack, too. What’s not to love?

Hero Ingredient: The warm bit of heat that raw red onion brings to these toasts is unmatched—a welcome divergence from your OG avo toast.

Hummus Avocado Toast with Toasted Hemp Seeds from Eating Bird Food

Why We Love It: Hummus in avocado toast recipes is something you don’t see every day, which is what makes it so great. A good garlicky hummus to accompany that creamy avocado, red onion, cayenne pepper, and toasted hemp seeds makes all the difference. Because hummus and avocado have a similar texture, the hemp seeds bring a nice bite to the toast.

Hero Ingredient: Hemp seeds not only bring the crunch here, but they’re packed with nutritional value as well. One serving, or about three tablespoons, contains eight grams of protein, nine grams of fiber, and a whole ‘lotta omega-3 fatty acids. Sounds like a win-win.

Avocado Toast With Gorgonzola, Pears, & Toasted Walnuts from How Sweet Eats

Why We Love It: When it comes to the top loaded avocado toast recipes, this one is definitely high on the list. With smashed avocado laying the groundwork for blue cheese, thinly-sliced pear, toasted walnuts, and a honey drizzle, you’ll want to pour a glass of crisp white as you savor each and every flavor this toast celebrates. These are perfect to serve as an appetizer, enjoy as a lunch or dinner, or snack on as a midday indulgence. However you slice it, don’t miss out on this one.

Hero Ingredient: The walnuts get toasted with a hint of cinnamon, giving a warm and complex flavor to supplement the savory notes. And with a honey drizzle over top, you’ve created something with all kinds of depth.

Avocado Toast 5 Ways from Love & Lemons

Why We Love It: There’s nothing wrong with thinly sliced avocado layered atop a piece of toast. Sometimes, the best avocado recipes are simple to their core. But when you want to switch things up, make these brilliant variations your go-to. From Banh Mi to Roasted Chickpea & Harissa—and everything in between—these recipes are all the motivation you need to get creative in the kitchen.

Hero Ingredient: There’s nothing like a salty caper bringing a bit of brine to each bite.

The Best Avocado Egg Salad

Why We Love It: I’ve often wondered what the true definition of a salad is. I mean, if it can be composed of veggies, fruits, and even jello… then I’ll happily fold avocado into my egg salad and call it good. Rather than using mayo as the base—which can get gloppy and overpower the egg—avocado takes its place. It’s a genius and undeniably delicious take on the classic avocado and egg combo.

Hero Ingredient: Fresh herbs are crucial in giving this salad all of its flavor. Add the dill with a heavy hand—you’ll love its bright, herbaceous bite.

Grilled Corn and Feta Egg in a Hole Avocado Toast

Why We Love It: As promised, this is one of the more elevated avocado toast recipes on the list. There are a ton of interesting flavors to unpack. Avocado is mashed and perfectly seasoned with a squeeze of lemon juice and salt. The toast is topped with charred corn, giving it a nice, caramelized bite. Then nectarines, feta, red pepper flakes, and fresh torn basil finish it off. Heaven.

Hero Ingredient: There are so many contenders for the hero ingredient of this recipe, but the egg cracked into the center of the cut-out bread gives the entire toast a perfectly jammy, rich flavor.

The post 15 Avocado Toast Recipes That Go Way Beyond Basic appeared first on Camille Styles.

After testing this muffin recipe six times, I can finally say I’ve cracked the code on an easy but wildly delicious lemon poppy seed muffin recipe. Does anyone think lemon poppy seed muffins are under-appreciated? People are always going on about blueberry muffins, banana nut muffins, chocolate muffins, but the humble lemon poppy seed has always been my favorite. When done well, they’re the perfect not-too-sweet treat that leans on simplicity more than flashy crumbles or mix-ins to make it special.

This recipe is straightforward, comes together in less than 30 minutes, and is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or everyday little treat.

Ingredients for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

After testing these muffins so many times, I wanted to keep the ingredient list simple enough that the only thing you might need to go pick up from the store is poppy seeds.

Granulated Sugar. Both in the muffin and for sprinkling on top.

Zest of two lemons. I tested this recipe with the zest of just one muffin and found the flavor didn’t come through all that much. Adding the second lemon made all the difference.

Eggs. Room temperature, please! They’re so much easier to blend in.

Olive oil. Use good-quality olive oil. Trust me, you’ll taste the difference.

Greek yogurt. I’ve used low-fat Greek yogurt in these muffins, but regular should work as well.

Lemon extract. Completely optional, but if you want to punch up the lemon flavor, a little extract goes a long way.

Flour. Classic all-purpose.

Baking powder and baking soda. Both help give these muffins their signature, bakery-style rise.

Salt. No dessert is complete without it.

Poppy seeds. In case you’re wondering, poppy seeds are in the spice aisle of most grocery stores!

How to Maximize Flavor

Audrey of Red Currant Bakery grinds her poppy seeds before adding them to the muffin batter. Genius. (Watch how she makes it happen here.) Grind your poppy seeds in a spice grinder until they form a slightly clumpy texture. This helps them distribute evenly through the batter, so you don’t end up with poppy seeds stuck in your teeth. It also brings out their slightly nutty flavor. Of course, you don’t have to grind your poppy seeds if you don’t want to. But truthfully? I don’t think I’ll ever go back to tossing in the seeds whole.

For maximum flavor, rub the lemon zest into your granulated sugar before mixing the batter. Use your fingers to press the zest into the sugar granules until the sugar feels like wet sand and you can smell the lemon. This helps release the natural oils, making the whole batter much more fragrant. I also tested these muffins with and without lemon extract, and while the muffins without extract were delicious, the lemony flavor was much more prominent with the extract. Completely optional, but it definitely makes a difference.

PSA: Please for the love of all baked goods be sure to add salt. To the batter and just the smallest of pinches to the sugar sprinkled on top of the muffins as well. I promise, your batch will be all the better because of it.

Tips for Baking Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Bring your ingredients to room temperature. This means your eggs and yogurt. Cold ingredients hinder rising in baked goods. Ensuring that everything is at room temperature yields the best outcome.

Do not over-mix your batter. Cake batters should remain light and fluffy, and we don’t want to develop any gluten in the flour. That means no electric mixer! In fact, during my tests, I found that it was much easier to ensure even mixing when I could scrape the bowl by hand compared to the mixer.

Do not over-bake your muffins. I learned this the hard way through my many tests. Even a couple extra minutes in the oven can make your muffins dry. As soon as they are set with a clean toothpick, take them out of the oven. After a minute, carefully remove the muffins from the tray so they can cool on a baking rack. This keeps the pan’s residual heat from continuing to cook your muffins.

How to Store Leftover Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

These muffins last about three days in an airtight container at room temperature, or 5-6 days in the fridge (simply heat them in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating). They also freeze well wrapped in parchment and stored in a ziplock bag. When ready to eat, pop your muffin into the microwave for about 25-30 seconds to thaw and you’re ready to go. Enjoy!

The post This Genius Trick for Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Makes This Recipe the Best You’ve Ever Tasted appeared first on Camille Styles.

This potato, goat cheese, and asparagus frittata is one of the recipes I make at home most often. So often, in fact, that I barely consider it a recipe—which is probably why I’ve never shared it here! And it’s time to remedy that, since I’m a firm believer that everyone should have a great frittata recipe in their back pocket. With spring veggies filling up farmers market stalls, this is the perfect time to celebrate all those beautiful bursting-with-flavor ingredients.

This easy frittata combines the earthiness of asparagus and mushrooms with the creaminess of goat cheese—and the sliced baby potatoes make it hearty. The result is satisfying and cozy, and it happens to be an incredibly healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

How to Make a Frittata

One of the main reasons I love a frittata? It’s more of a formula than a recipe—which means it’s the perfect recipe for cleaning out your veggie drawer since you can swap in whatever you have on hand. Here’s the basic step-by-step method for making a frittata with any type of vegetable—master this, then get creative:

1. Preheat your broiler and prep the veggies.
2. Sauté your veggies in an oven-safe skillet, starting with the hardest veggies (like potatoes, that take longest to cook) and ending with the softest veggies (like asparagus, that needs just a couple minutes.)
3. Beat the eggs with a little milk, and pour them over the veggies. Add cheese if desired.
4. Transfer the entire pan to the oven and broil until eggs are set and golden brown on top.
5. Garnish with herbs and eat!

It’s really that easy, and I’m just as inclined to whip up a single-serve frittata for a simple weekday lunch as I am to make it for a gathering. (I served this one at the Mother’s Day Brunch we hosted in my backyard.)

Tips for Success

• Use fresh, seasonal produce from your local farmers market for the best flavor and quality.
• Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are just tender before adding the eggs to avoid ending up with crunchy veggies in your frittata.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet, which can lead to a soggy frittata as the vegetables will “steam” instead of sauté.

Ingredient Swaps to Try

• Swap the goat cheese for feta or shredded mozzarella for a different flavor profile. Or if you’re dairy free, feel free to skip the cheese altogether.
• Make it heartier (more quiche-like!) with a sprinkle of diced cooked bacon or sausage.
• Swap sweet potatoes for baby potatoes if that’s your thing.

With its rainbow of fresh veggies and creamy goat cheese, this potato, goat cheese, and asparagus frittata is a delicious way to welcome the season. Whether you’re enjoying it for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, this dish will always satisfy. So this weekend, why not head to the farmers market, gather whatever fresh ingredients catch your eye, and let the flavors of spring inspire your next meal.

Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler of your oven, with the top rack 8 – 12″ from the broiler unit. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
2. Add sliced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the asparagus pieces and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they turn bright green and slightly tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. While the veggies are cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Using a spatula, evenly distribute the veggies in the pan and lightly flatten them. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the vegetables. Sprinkle the goat cheese evenly over the top. Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed for 2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and broil just until the top is turning golden and cheese is melted. Watch it closely, this happens fast!
7. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs, then slice and serve warm.

It’s true what they say: the best things in life are often the simplest. And nowhere is that more true than with toast, also known as one of the greatest foods on earth. Whether it’s topped with avocado and smoked salmon or simply slathered with jam, toast is not only a perfect flavor combo, for me, it also signifies ultimate comfort.

Growing up, a sick day meant toast and tea curled up on the couch with a movie. And there’s one toast memory I’ll never forget. After a 30-hour labor giving birth to my daughter, my mom brought me my favorite fruit and nut bread, toasted and slathered with butter. Nothing had ever tasted better (and I’d never been hungrier.)

Why I’m Eating Sourdough Bread Again

Which brings me to this ricotta toast recipe. I’ve always loved the combination of creamy ricotta cheese slathered onto toasted sourdough. When it comes to texture combinations, it honestly doesn’t get better. But since adopting a grain-free diet last summer, toast has been off the menu. Until recently. I’ve slowly been starting to reincorporate a bit of sourdough back into my diet, and so far—my gut issues haven’t resurfaced. In my research, here’s what I learned:

The fermentation process that gives the bread its distinctive sour taste also makes it more gut-friendly. Millions of people are suffering from digestive malaise, and if you’re sensitive to foods containing gluten or have irritable bowel syndrome, sourdough bacteria’s ability to break down flour has never been more important. – Vanessa Kimbell via Bon Appetit

It’s fascinating! And it’s key to make sure that what you’re getting is “real” sourdough that’s been slowly leavened, not simply store-bought bread with a sour flavor that’s been leavened with fast-rising yeast. I’ll keep you guys posted on my sourdough journey, but in the meantime—let’s talk about this ricotta toast! First thing to mention: this recipe is so simple that it may not even feel like a recipe. However, it’s one of those delicious bites that is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Let’s dive in.

Ricotta: Store-Bought vs. Homemade

When deciding whether to use store-bought ricotta versus making your own, there’s no right answer: both can be absolutely delicious, and it comes down to how much time you have. I shared many years ago how I make my own ricotta at home, and I’m still using the same method—it’s one of the most satisfying and delicious ingredients to make, and you’ll be shocked at how easy it is.

That said, there is zero shame in purchasing a high-quality ricotta from the grocery. You’ll just want to make sure that it’s full-fat (made from whole milk). A lot of what’s on the shelves is the “part-skim ricotta,” which I would only use in a recipe like lasagna. For this, you’re gonna want the creamy goodness of full fat.

Ricotta Toast Toppings

For this version, I wanted to highlight the simple flavors of the crusty sourdough toast with the creamy ricotta, so I kept toppings at a minimum: honey, chopped pistachios, thyme, flaky salt, and Aleppo pepper. However, ricotta toast lends itself to all kinds of creative inspiration. Here are a few topping ideas I’ve tried and loved:

• Banana and granola
• Melon and mint
• Blackberries and lime zest
• Radishes and chives
• Slow-roasted tomatoes and basil
• Pears with honey

Health Benefits of Ricotta Toast

Sourdough bread. Unlike conventional breads, sourdough undergoes a fermentation process that gives its signature tangy flavor and enhances its gut-friendly properties. This slow fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it easier to digest and (as discussed above) sometimes reducing digestive discomfort for those with sensitivities.

Whole-milk ricotta cheese offers a dose of protein and calcium, essential nutrients for muscle repair and bone health.

Honey is a natural sweetener rich in antioxidants and soothing properties, pistachios provide healthy fats and fiber, and thyme is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Each bite of this ricotta toast is both indulgent and nourishing.

You are going to love this ricotta toast for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Let me know if you give it a try—and if you have any sourdough/gut health stories to share, I’d love to hear in the comments. Scroll on for the recipe for this easy and delicious ricotta toast.

The post The Best Ricotta Toast, and an Update on My Gut-Health Journey appeared first on Camille Styles.

As someone who regularly tests recipes and also happens to live alone, I often find myself with the dilemma of having lots of extras. This isn’t a bad thing, of course. I’ve made friends with neighbors and always have treats to bring to the office. But sometimes, I just want to make something that’s not left hanging around my house for weeks. (When I developed this recipe a few months ago, I ate it every night for seven days straight.) I know I’m not alone in the struggle, so I’ve devised the ultimate small-batch banana nut muffins recipe. That’s right—these make a total of six muffins. You’re welcome.

The Case for Putting Nuts in Your Muffins

I’ve gone on record saying that I loathe nuts in my desserts. I don’t want walnuts in my brownies or chocolate chip cookies, butter pecan ice cream is a pass, and—hot take—I can’t handle a Snickers bar. The texture feels more like a nuisance than a way to enhance a treat. Maybe you’ll say I’m being extreme, but nuts are like land mines getting in the way of a fudgy brownie or fluffy cake.

The exception to this rule is putting the nuts on top of the dessert. Garnishing a cake with slivered almonds or a nutty crumble is my preferred method of utilizing nuts in baked goods. And that’s exactly what we’ve done here with this banana nut muffins recipe. We’re taking all the best parts of the banana nut muffin and adding a few tweaks to keep the texture and flavor top-notch.

Key Ingredients for these Banana Nut Muffins

• Pecans. Substitute with whatever you have on hand. Walnuts or almonds are great alternatives.
• Oats. Optional, but I like playing on the slightly nutty flavor of oats for the topping.
• Egg. Just one! Remember: small-batch.
• Greek yogurt. Yogurt adds moisture while also helping with the leavening. If you don’t usually have yogurt on hand, freeze yogurt in ice cube trays and store the cubes in a freezer-safe bag. Simply thaw and use as needed.
• Olive oil. Prioritize the good stuff in this recipe—you’ll taste it in these muffins.
• Tahini. A little untraditional, but I love the savory and slightly nutty flavor that complements this recipe’s sweeter ingredients.
• Maple syrup. I’m not a fan of super sweet treats, but maple syrup adds dimension.
• Miso. If you’ve caught on, I love using savory ingredients in my baking. A little miso lifts all the flavors.
• Banana. One banana is all you need. That random banana sitting on your counter? It’s the perfect contestant.
• Flour. All-purpose for these muffins.
• Baking Soda and Powder. Both keep these muffins light and fluffy.
• Salt. If you’re not salting your sweets, start yesterday.
• Cinnamon and Nutmeg. These warming spices enhance the muffins’ flavor without overpowering the banana.
• Vanilla. Lately, I’ve considered vanilla optional in my recipes. (It can be so expensive!) Use it if you have it, but don’t fret if you don’t!

Tips for Making Banana Nut Muffins

A few tips and tricks to ensure success.

1. Let ingredients come to room temperature. This will drastically impact the final result.
2. Mash the banana on its own, then add to the wet ingredients. Not only does this ensure an even distribution in the batter, but it also brings out the banana’s moisture.
3. For bakery-style and domed muffins, fill your muffin tin to the top. I also recommend using parchment squares instead of regular liners as this will help create the rounded domed shape. This recipe works with regular muffin liners, but you might notice a bit more spreading on top of the muffin tin. Using large parchment squares also keeps the crumble in place.
4. Gently press the crumble into the top of the batter. This ensures that the crumble will stick to the muffin instead of falling off during baking.

How to Store and Freeze Leftovers

These banana nut muffins are incredibly easy to store. (That is, if you end up with leftovers at all!) After letting the muffins cool completely, wrap muffins individually in beeswax or plastic wrap, then place them into a larger freezer bag. To reheat, remove individual muffins from the freezer and keep them in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, unwrap and toss muffins in the oven to thaw at 350 F for a few minutes.

Instructions

1. Prep the crumble. Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and toss together until everything is evenly coated in oil and distributed. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with six liners, evenly spacing them out.

6. Using a small cookie scoop, evenly divide the batter amongst the 6 muffin liners. You’ll want the batter to go almost to the top of the liner.
7. Add a tablespoon of crumble over the batter in the muffin pan and gently press the crumble into the top of the batter.
8. Bake at 400 F for 18-19 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for about five minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
10. Enjoy!

I consider myself matcha obsessed. I’ve all but switched my morning iced latte for a matcha over the last year and I’ve never looked back. I love the earthy and savory flavor that I can dress up with different milks and flavors or drink on its own for the simplest morning moment. With an influx in the amount of matcha I have on hand, I’m always looking for new ways to highlight the flavor. This matcha smoothie does exactly that.

A smoothie is very much a no-recipe recipe for me. I usually have an idea of the flavor profile I want from my smoothie and then adjust as it comes together. Too thick? Add more liquid. Craving a little more sweetness? Add more fruit. Missing an ingredient? Substitute with something else. Smoothies should be fun and approachable as a breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. And with spring upon us, I wanted to lean on the strawberry matcha trend I’ve been seeing and bring it to life in smoothie form. Use this as your guide, and let your kitchen lead the way.

Matcha Smoothie Ingredients

There are two layers to this smoothie, the matcha layer and the strawberry layer. Each layer has a slightly different composition to highlight their individual flavors.

For the matcha layer:

• Matcha. Make sure you’re using ceremonial matcha that you would actually want to drink. A culinary matcha has more of a grassy bitter taste. Great for baked goods, less so for smoothies.
• Yogurt. For a bit of a protein kick, use an unsweetened plain or Greek yogurt without any flavorings.
• Banana. I played around with smoothie thickeners that wouldn’t impart a ton of flavor, and honestly, banana does it best every time. You might taste it a little bit but it’s not that much. You could also substitute with frozen cauliflower or avocado if you prefer.
• Ice. Helps keep everything cold and create a thick texture.

For the strawberry layer:

• Strawberries, fresh AND frozen. This might seem extra, but both strawberries here serve a different purpose. Fresh strawberries in season are extra sweet and have better flavor. Frozen strawberries help thicken your smoothie. Use what you have and swap where you need.
• Frozen coconut milk. When I use just part of a can of coconut milk, I freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays for smoothies just like this. It adds a nice creamy texture.
• Vanilla. Optional, but I like the slightly floral flavor that vanilla adds, creating a strawberries and cream vibe.
• Ice. Just a little ice for thickness and to chill.

To thin out and help with blending both layers, use your favorite milk of choice. I used Táche pistachio milk. If you want to add a bit of sweetness, add some honey for a touch of floral flavor.

Also, hot take: you should be salting your smoothies! Just like you would salt anything else you eat, adding a pinch of salt will really elevate your flavors and make them better.

How to Assemble Your Matcha Smoothie

The fun part of this smoothie is the pretty layering vibe that comes with the strawberry and matcha layers. They’re just as delicious mixed together, but the color will be more of a muted brown. We’re going for flavor and aesthetics here. Your smoothie deserves to shine.

Tips to keep in mind:

• Creating thick smoothie layers will help you layer the two types of smoothies so they don’t sink and blend into each other.
• If you prefer a thinner, more sippable smoothie, start by pouring your first layer. Then, slowly pour your second layer over the back of a spoon. Some of the smoothie may sink into the other layer, but as you near the top it gets easier to create a separate layer for the color-stacked vibe.

It feels like we’re all trying to get more protein these days, and for me, the most challenging time to fit it in is breakfast. (I love eggs all the ways, but even they have their limit!)

So today, I’m sharing my current favorite protein-packed breakfast that’s not eggs—this Grain-Free Overnight “Oatmeal.” And we’re teaming up with Target to prove that breakfast isn’t just an opportunity to fuel our bodies—it’s a chance to nourish our mornings with small moments of joy.

The post This Grain-Free Overnight “Oatmeal” Is the Protein-Packed Breakfast You Didn’t Know You Needed appeared first on Camille Styles.

When I recently posted on Instagram that I’ve been eating 1/2 cup of this homemade, gut-healing yogurt every day, I was flooded with requests to share all the details. And honestly, I’m not surprised—this yogurt is incredible, and I wish I’d discovered it years ago! It’s so much more powerful than the yogurt you buy at the grocery store, I hesitate to even call it “yogurt.” Consider it more of a wellness tool—a probiotic powerhouse that nourishes your body and boosts vitality. So today, I’m sharing exactly how to make your own L. Reuteri yogurt, a delicious homemade yogurt recipe that’s about to change your health game.

But first, watch me make it in the video below!

Why Focus on Healing the Gut?

If you’ve been around here awhile, you know that the gut is the cornerstone of our well-being, influencing everything from energy levels to mood and digestion.  I’ve been sharing a lot about my own efforts to heal my gut—switching to a grain-free diet has been a big part of that journey. Now that I’ve laid the foundation, I’m able to start incorporating tools, like this L. Reuteri yogurt, to continue reaching higher levels of health and vibrancy.

Health Benefits of L. Reuteri Yogurt

I make a batch of this yogurt at the beginning of the week, then eat about ½ cup every day. Here are some of the benefits I’ve noticed:

• Better digestion from all the probiotics and prebiotics
• More energy, which comes from a healthier gut and all the good protein found in this yogurt
• Better mood—it may sound crazy, but the brain-gut connection is real. A common side effect of improving your gut flora is a reduction in brain fog, better mood, and clearer thinking. I’ll take it!

What You Should Know About L. Reuteri Yogurt

Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is a type of probiotic (“good” bacteria) normally found in the digestive tract. “Good” bacteria like L. reuteri help break down food, absorb nutrients, and fight off organisms that might cause diseases. L. reuteri can be added to fermented foods like this yogurt, and is also found in probiotic supplements. I learned about the benefits of L. Reuteri Yogurt from the book Super Gut, a must-read for anyone dealing with sluggish digestion or GI issues, including SIBO. This yogurt isn’t just food; it’s truly a gut-healing elixir.

Why Not Just Buy Your Yogurt?

While store-bought yogurts boast live probiotics, the potency of L. Reuteri yogurt is in a whole different ballpark. In this recipe, we’re using more traditional yogurt-making mehtods by prolonging fermentation times and adding prebiotic fibers to “feed” the bacteria. Our homemade version cooks at 100 degrees for 36 hours, allowing L. Reuteri bacteria to flourish. When these bacteria colonize your gut, they offer profound health benefits.

Here’s What You Need to Make Your Own Yogurt

When I first heard about making your own yogurt, I thought it sounded like a lot of work. Yet, with a simple and affordable yogurt maker, it turns out that it’s incredibly easy. Our goal? To make a yogurt that is both delicious and packed with probiotics. I’m also making a coconut yogurt for all my dairy-free friends—and yes, you’re going to get alll the same probiotic benefits from the coconut yogurt as you do from the dairy version!

Ingredients for L. Reuteri Yogurt

• For the classic L. Reuteri Yogurt: Whole milk or half-and-half, Osfortis probiotic, and inulin.
• For the dairy-free Coconut Yogurt: Coconut milk, agar agar, sugar, arrowroot starch, and Osfortis probiotic.

The Two-Step Process

1. Make a Slurry: This step ensures smooth texture without clumps—you’re going to blend the thickening agents with just a little liquid. Then you’ll add the remaining liquid.
2. Set and Forget: Pour the mixture into your yogurt maker, set at 100 degrees for 36 hours, and let the magic happen.

How to Incorporate L. Reuteri Yogurt Into Your Diet

Y’all know that I do not eat boring meals, so here are a few ways I like to “dress up” this yogurt in delicious breakfasts, snacks, or even desserts throughout the week:

• AM Classic: Combine with grain-free granola, banana, berries, and a drizzle of honey.
• Savory Twist: Top with roasted golden beets, pecans, and arugula for a surprising blend.
• Evening Treat: Mix with chocolate protein powder, then top with strawberries and cocoa nibs.

Gut-Healing and Delicious

Again, calling this recipe “yogurt” feels like an understatement. It’s truly a tool for gut health, a companion on your journey to wellness, and thankfully, it’s also incredibly delicious. If you’re on a gut health journey, I’d encourage you to dive into making your own L. Reuteri yogurt! And please share your experience in the comments below—I promise, your gut will thank you.
