As you may know I’ve been a Quaker Partner for a few years now but it’s not only because I’m an oatmeal fanatic, we both advocate for the same issues that face our communities. Food insecurity is still a big problem across this country, and especially in a year like this people are facing several challenges on top of trying to provide food for their families.

New year = more opportunities to try something new using Quaker oatmeal! If you’re looking for a few easy and attainable ways to help support your health this year, start with something small – like making sure you’re including oats into at least one meal a day. Consuming oats over the course of the day can help increase whole grain consumption. Since there are several ways to use it in different recipes, it’s a very convenient way to help add some additional nutrition. Whether you’re looking to make something savory or you’re trying to satisfy your sweet tooth, there’s an oatmeal recipe for that!

Remember my post on everything you need to know about batching cooking oatmeal?
This snickerdoodle oatmeal muffin recipe I’m sharing is my go-to whenever I have leftover oatmeal from a pre-cooked batch! These muffins are a delicious way to use up cooked oatmeal and reduce food waste in my kitchen. It’s another reason why oats are my number one pantry staple –because they’re so versatile, you can turn them into recipes that are tailored to your individual taste preferences.
Over the past few months I’ve picked up a lot more packs of tofu to store in the fridge since it tends to have a longer shelf life compared to fresh poultry or fish. Plus, it’s a pretty nutritious plant-based source of protein that takes on any flavor you add to it – so it’s versatile!
One of my favorite ways to use it up? Making this crispy baked buffalo tofu bites as part of my meal prep. So good with roasted veggies, in pasta (hi mac + cheese!) , or on top of a salad!
I used these chickpea crumbs as the breading since it was what was in my pantry (love that they add extra protein + fiber from the chickpeas), but feel free to sub in panko or regular breadcrumbs (I’ve tried both and they all work!)
The hardest part about prepping tofu is making sure you drain it well beforehand – that’s how the tofu stays crispy and not soggy. The best way to do this is to wrap it in a towel, place it on a plate, and put heavy objects over it (think books, a cast iron skillet, etc.). Drain for 20 mins or so and you can start any recipe that calls for tofu with it.
