- Hey health nuts!
It's Nikole from Heath Nut Nutrition,
and welcome back to my channel!
As you guys know, I always say breakfast
is my favorite meal of the day
and it's probably the thing that gets me
out of bed in the morning.
Also, our new pup, Cashew the boxer.
She also gets me up reallyearly in the morning,
so that's been a lot of fun.
If you guys didn't know,we got a new puppy.
If you guys don't follow me on Instagram,
you may not know, but she's the cutest.
We've had her for, like, a week today.
No, tomorrow will be a week.
And she's just the cutest thing ever!
So she's just snuggled inher bed having puppy dreams.
I'll insert a photo right now.
But for today's video, back to breakfast!
I'm already that distracted puppy/dog mom.
But for today's video, weare making three delicious
and healthy breakfast recipes.
They are both savory and sweet
because I know not everyone hasa sweet tooth for breakfast,
and I'm with you.
I can have both.
I can have pancakes, bacon, I'm good.
But I'm also really excitedfor today's sponsor.
Danone is collaboratingwith me on today's video.
If you haven't noticed alreadyin your local grocery stores,
they've launched awhole new line of yogurt
that has simpleingredients, no sugar added
besides just real fruit, aswell as no artificial colors.
It's basically my kind of yogurt
and I've been obsessed, guys.
It's so, it's like really, really good.
I love it, I've beenstockpiling my fridge with it,
I've been eating it on repeat every day
for a little afternoonsnack, it's so good.
So I'm gonna show you guys how
to make some breakfastrecipes using yogurt.
That does not include a yogurt parfait,
'cause I know we've allbeen there and done that,
so these are some new,fun ways to use yogurt
in your morning breakfast recipes.
Before we hop in, I wantyou guys to pause this video
and hit that subscribe button down below.
I post on this channel everyMonday, Wednesday, and Friday.
We have recipes, wellnessand lifestyle tips,
as well as weekly vlogs, and of course,
Cashew is gonna be in a lot of them.
So be sure to follow usif you guys wanna see more
and let's hop right into the video.
We're gonna first start offwith my breakfast granola cups.
They may resemble a parfait, but they
are so much more delicious and fun.
So in a sauce pan, you'regonna heat up some coconut oil
and honey.
You can use any sticky liquidsweetener that you like.
I really love honey, I feel like it just
holds everything together well.
So you're just gonna melt that down just
until the coconut meltsand then turn off the heat
and mix in the vanilla extract.
Make sure you're using the pure stuff.
It's gonna add a lot offlavor to these granola cups.
In a large bowl, add in yourrolled oats, almond flour,
shredded coconut, Ialways buy unsweetened,
ground flaxseed, and for spices,
I have some cinnamon and sea salt.
Just give that a quick mix
until everything is well-combined.
At this point, it's alreadygonna smell like breakfast
with the cinnamon androlled oats and the coconut.
It just all smells so delicious.
And you're gonna go ahead andpour in that liquid mixture
that you melted and just stir it around,
and this is what it should look like.
Now, it's gonna feel likea very loose kinda mixture
and not one that's gonna stick together,
but I promise it willwhen it all bakes up.
So in a nonstick muffin tin,
you're just gonna lightlygrease it with some coconut oil.
I love using one ofthese silicone brushes.
They just make it reallyeasy to get the job done.
I will link the one I use down below.
Using an ice cream scoop,evenly scoop out the batter
into the muffin trays.
You can make betweeneight or nine of these,
depending on how thick you want them.
So you're gonna use your fingersto just kind of pat it in
and mold it to theshape of the muffin tin.
I have usually just a littlebowl of water set aside
so I can dip my fingers andit helps prevent everything
from sticking to your fingers.
And just be gentle, making sureeverything is evenly covered
and then just pop theseinto a preheated oven
to bake and get golden.
This is what it looks likewhen they come out of the oven.
They smell incredible!
Even if you just stop righthere, they will be delicious.
But of course, we'regonna go the extra mile
because this is somethingthat you can bake up
in the beginning of the weekand then when you're ready
to eat them in the morning,we're gonna fill them up
with some toppings.
So for this recipe, I'm using Danone's
new 100% natural yogurtin the flavor vanilla.
I love it because it's not overly sweet
and you can control the amount
of sugar you're eating for breakfast.
I always opt for unsweetened
or no sugar added when possible.
Line up your granola cups and fill them up
with the vanilla yogurtand then for toppings,
I have some chopped kiwi, blackberries,
blueberries, and raspberries.
I just, I got all the berries right now.
So just have fun, have a little
breakfast granola cup buffet.
You can just fill them up with really
whatever fun toppingsyou want and then just
for some added texture and crunch,
I sprinkled on some little chia seeds,
AKA little dinosaur eggs.
Don't they look like dinosaur eggs?
Is it just me?
Anyways, so good!
They're super pretty andthey taste really yummy, too.
Next up, we have myfluffy yogurt pancakes.
Now, you guys know I love pancakes
and it's about time I shared a new one.
For this recipe, I'm usingDanone's plain yogurt
since I'm not lookingto add extra sweetness,
just more of a texturecomponent to this recipe.
I love using yogurt in recipeslike pancakes and baking
because it adds a lot ofmoisture and fluffiness
to the recipe.
Next, I'm adding in someunsweetened almond milk,
melted coconut oil that's beencooled to room temperature
so it doesn't cook the eggs,
and for sweetness, I'm addingjust a little bit of honey,
crack in a couple of eggsto help it bind together,
and vanilla extract.
Give everything a good whiskuntil it's nice and combined.
Now, one of my favoritehacks just to make it easy
and all made in onebowl is to use a sifter.
So for these pancakes, I'musing brown rice flour,
which is one of my go-tos.
And then for spices, I havesome cinnamon and sea salt.
And then just sift in thedry ingredients into the wet.
Take your whisk again andfold in everything together.
You don't wanna over-mixit, you want a little bit
of lumps to your pancake batter.
That's kind of one of the secrets.
This is the consistencyit should look like.
You should have a nice, thick batter.
If it's too runny, you canalways add in some more flour.
In a large nonstick skillet,you're gonna just grease it up
with some butter, you can use coconut oil
or whatever oil that you like.
And using my handy dandycookie or ice cream scoop,
whatever you wanna call it,I'm gonna scoop out the batter
into evenly little moundsso they melt right in.
I also love to top it with a lid.
I find it just cooks more evenly
and it's just somethingI've been doing for years.
As always, all the recipeswill be linked down below
in the info box for you guys to check out.
Carefully flip themover after a few minutes
so they are nice and goldenbrown and you can start plating.
So for the purpose of this video,
I'm just making a mega stack of pancakes,
but obviously I did not eat all of these,
although I wouldn't judge you if you did.
So I'm gonna just put adollop of yogurt on top,
fresh berries, and a gooddrizzle of some pure maple syrup.
Fluffy, moist, perfectlysweetened yogurt pancakes.
You will love these.
Last but not least, wehave a savory option.
These are my fluffy scrambled eggs
using only two main ingredients,
eggs, of course, and guess what?
Yogurt.
So we're actually usingDanone's plain yogurt.
Once again, we're notlooking to add much sweetness
to this recipe, although it will
have a nice naturalsweetness, but we are looking
for more of that fluffy texture the yogurt
is gonna give in the scrambled eggs.
So I've been actuallyusing this tip for years
and I'm so excited to finallyshare it with you guys.
So I have my eggs, my yogurt,I have some salt and pepper,
and you're just gonna whisk everything up
until well-combined.
This is a great option instead
of just using milk or nut milk.
The yogurt adds a really nicefluffy element to the eggs
and everyone's gonna ask whatyour secret ingredient is.
I promise, it's that good.
In a large nonstick skillet,
you're gonna melt some unsalted butter,
pour in your eggy batterright into the pan,
and another one of my tricks,
I take scrambled eggsvery seriously, guys,
is I take a rubberspatula and I just start
from the outer edges and I just kind of
ripple the scrambled eggs into the center,
if that makes sense?
So I'm going low andslow with my temperature
and cooking just because youwant them to be evenly cooked
but not overly dry.
This is what they look like.
I usually pull them off the heat just
before they are fully cooked and you will
have perfectly fluffy eggs every time.
You can serve thesewhichever way you like,
but today, I have sometoasted dark rye bread,
sliced avocado.
I'm gonna layer on thefluffy scrambled eggs,
(lighthearted music)
some chopped up cherry tomatoes,
and some finely chopped fresh chives,
which are so good with eggs.
You need to try it.
And this is just basicallywhat I had in the fridge.
You can just make it your own
and it is delicious every time.
You can even have this for lunch,
it's that hearty and delicious.
There you have it, health nuts!
Three fun, new breakfast recipes
that you can enjoy byyourself, with your friends,
with your family, reallyjust invite everyone over
and have a little brunch party.
Everyone's gonna love them.
And I would love to know,leave a comment down below
telling me which recipe of the three you
are most excited to try.
Also, huge thank you to Danonefor collaborating with me
on today's video andproviding a yogurt line
that is actually one Ifeel good about eating.
I'm just so excited about this yogurt
and maybe a little too excited.
I love all the flavors,they're really fun.
I feel like a little kid again
when I'm eating the little yogurt ones,
the little yogurt cups.
They have some really fun fruit flavors.
Blueberry, mango, raspberry.
Matt really likes the cherryone, that one's so, so good.

Thank you so much for watching!
I have some yogurt here'cause it's so good.
This one is the vanilla,if I can get it open.
And, I mean, it's already almost done.
I eat it just like icecream right out of the tub.
It is so good!
It's like a natural, tart yogurt flavor
with just a hint of sweetness.
This one has just a hint ofvanilla and it's delicious.
It's not too sweet, at all.
I find a lot of yogurtway too sugary for me,
so I end up just always buying plain,
but I love the fact thatDanone now has yogurt
that I can have fun withlike the fruity flavors.
I wanna have fun, fruityflavors in my yogurt, you know?
Just 'cause I don't want a ton of sugar
doesn't mean I don't want blueberry
and mango and raspberry yogurt!
Mm!
It is so good.
I'm in love, okay.
I'm gonna go finish eatingthis, maybe make a parfait,
and even though I said don't make parfaits
'cause that's so cliche,but they're still delicious.
So I'm gonna have that.
And I will see you guys in my next video.
Bye, guys!
