Protein Overnight Oats with Pazazz

Happy 2021! New year, new healthy habits, and new recipes! I have a super easy and delicious recipe for you to start your day off with.

Protein and Pazazz! See what I did there? 😉 Y’all know my love for the “Jolly Rancher” of apples, the Pazazz apple, so I have once again teamed up with Honeybear brands to bring you a new and delicious way to eat your apple a day 🍎

February is National Cancer Awareness Month and Pazazz apples have teamed up with the American Institute for Cancer Research. Pazazz will donate $1 to the AICR to further fight against the disease. They are making is super easy to donate!

2.) Text PAZ to 797979 to donate $1

3.) OR follow my personal LINK so I can track our donating progress!

Recipe As Follows:

I have been using a protein drink in a lot of my new meals and coffee to help me reach my recommended daily amount and of course by using an entire apple, you are also adding in fiber, probiotics, and several other health benefits.

Ingredients:

1 Pazazz apple, diced

1/4 cup oats

3/4 cup Cinnamon Roll Premier Protein drink (any brand will work or flavor)

1 tsp pure maple syrup (can leave out)

dash of cinnamon

Directions:

1.) Add all ingredients to a mason jar or container with a lid. If you like the apples more of a soft consistency, add the diced apples to a microwaveable bowl and spray with spray butter. Heat for 2 minuted covered with saran wrap until soft. Add to the jar and place in fridge overnight.

2.) I don’t love them cold, so I heat in microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute before eating.

I love teaming up with Honeybear Brand Apples to bring you guys some fun facts and recipes! Did you know that for a limited time the apples will have 4 different emoji stickers on them? I love this idea as a way to spread more JOY!

Do you struggle with getting your kids to eat fruit? Check out my recipe below! Also save the stickers as they eat the apple and create a chart to show them how many apples they have eaten in a week or even a month!

Do you already write little notes in your child’s lunchbox? Add an emoji apple next time! I love the hangry one because I can totally relate 😬

So I have a fun challenge for you! If you are at your grocery store and you spot the apples with the emoji stickers (Gala or Honeycrisp variety) grab them, find your emotion, and snap a selfie with it and tag @hyvee and ME @ladyandredstyle so I can share them on my Instagram stories too! Let’s spread some cheer and fun around social media!

You can find the apples if you are local to Des Moines at your nearest HyVee grocery stores. For more information on the Honeybear brands, you can check out their website HERE and make sure to follow them on Facebook and Instagram too!

RECIPE: Airfryer AppleCinna Bites

1 Gala or Honeycrisp apple

1 tube of cinnamon rolls

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Cut each cinnamon roll into 4 long pieces. I typically only make 2-3 rolls at a time and keep the rest in the fridge for another day!

2.) Slice an apple into thin slices.

3.) Roll the sliced cinnamon roll piece thin enough to wrap around an apple slice. Continue to do this until you have your desired snack amount. I typically make 2 cinnamon rolls at a time for breakfast or a fun snack.

4.) Airfry the pieces at 325-350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

5.) Heat icing from cinnamon roll tube up in microwave for 10 seconds and drizzle small amount onto the warm apple slices. Serve and enjoy!

Rowan's Apple Cinnamon Bake

If there is ever a perfect time for this recipe, it is now. Warm, sweet comfort food. It all started with a little idea to make some dessert with my daughter Rowan trying to use things we already had in our house. This recipe is probably one of the best yet. Rowan didn’t want to make apple crisp or apple pie, so we came up with this. And of course we had to name it after her!

I only snapped a quick pic of the finished product for my IG story and then y’all wanted the recipe. You didn’t even know it was good yet but we ate the entire pie plate of it 😂 So naturally, I needed to make it again so I could “take photos” of the steps to post the recipe. See what I did there? Haha we nearly ate the entire thing again.

This would be great for breakfast too or even yummy to double and make in a casserole dish for a cookout.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tube cinnamon rolls

1 jumbo honey crisp apple or 2 medium sized ones

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp brown sugar + 1/3 cup brown sugar

5 Tbsp butter

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease pie plate with cooking spray.

2.) Core, cut, and peel apple. Dice into small pieces. Place in a small microwaveable dish. Add the 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1 Tbsp water, coat apples. Cover with syran wrap and cook for 3 minutes to soften them. Drain excess liquid.

3.) Cut cinnamon rolls into pieces and spread evenly into pie plate.

4.) Add cooked apples to the top of cinnamon roll pieces.

5.) Melt the butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar in the microwave for 40 seconds or until melted. Spread evenly over apples and cinnamon rolls.

6.) Bake at 350 degrees for 28-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.

7.) Take frosting from the cinnamon rolls and heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Drizzle over the apple bake.

8.) Serve warm and enjoy!
