We’ve all heard the phrase, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” This is because breakfast can be key to maintaining energy levels throughout the day, supporting overall well-being, and aiding in weight loss. Choosing nutritious meals can help curb cravings, boost metabolism, and provide you with essential nutrients for the day.
While some people don’t have the time to make a filling breakfast every morning, there are plenty of recipes out there that only use minimal ingredients and can be prepped for the whole week.
One such recipe is the 5-ingredient pumpkin Greek yogurt oat cups from Meredith Munoz (@mersgoodeats). Munoz is a nutritionist who shares easy and healthy recipes with her followers. These cups can not only be savored for breakfast but also as a snack too, she notes. Read on to get all the details.
Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup @chobani greek yogurt, 2 @vitalfarms eggs, 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey, 1 1/2 @bobsredmill cups rolled oats, 1 cup oat flour (you can sub for AP flour), 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Instructions: Start by preheating your oven to 350F. Add your pumpkin puree in a large bowl, then add in your Greek yogurt. Stir well then add in your maple syrup and eggs. Mix well.
