4. Cinnamon Roll Muffins >

Calories per Serving: 200

The world’s most perfect food is back on the table. To keep these healthier rolls moist, we added pumpkin puree and coconut oil.

The perfect cinnamon roll texture comes from almond flour and peanut butter.

5. Oven-Baked Egg Bites >

6. No-Bake Overnight Chia Pudding >

You prep your coffee the night before, so why not make yourself breakfast while you’re at it? This no-bake overnight pudding packs in the Healthy Fats with keep-you-full-forever chia seeds, crunchy almonds and unsweetened coconut. We hold it all together with probiotic-rich kefir, a thin yogurt that is cultured and fermented. A sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla extract add big flavor with very little calories. Prepare your pudding ahead in mini mason jars with lids so that you can grab one before you head out the door.
