Maple Bacon French Toast Cups

maple bacon french toast cups // my bacon-wrapped life

Will I ever stop showing you recipes with “maple bacon” in the title?

Let’s be honest – probably not. The combination is just too good, people.

So let’s deal with the 500 pound bacon elephant in the room – bacon has not exactly had the best week, huh? To be honest, I’m not too perturbed by all of the processed-meat-craziness right now. My theory on bacon (and anything else decadent and delicious) remains the same: if you’re eating a pound of bacon for breakfast every day, you’re doing something wrong. If you’re using it sparingly to flavor your adorable little French toast cups, you’re doing something very, very right.

pumpkin chia overnight oats // my bacon-wrapped life

I’d like to introduce you to the least photogenic but most delicious healthy breakfast you’ll eat all Fall. Riiiiight up there. That’s the one!

These pumpkin chia overnight oats may not win any beauty contests, but they are my new favorite thing. Have you ever tried overnight oats? They are a recent Pinterest phenomenon, basically consisting of old-fashioned oats that sit in liquid overnight to soften and form a cold, sweet, healthy breakfast porridge. I have been very intrigued by them ever since I tried chia pudding last year – this peanut butter and jelly version remains one of the most popular recipes on my site! I love oatmeal and eat it almost every morning because I am a boring grandma, but I wasn’t sure how COLD oats would turn out…I mean, the idea of cold, gloppy oatmeal is not exactly appetizing, right?

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pancakes

dark chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes // my bacon-wrapped life

Guys, I played it so cool this year. I patiently waited all the way until OCTOBER to post a pumpkin recipe.

Not going to lie – this would not have been possible if it wasn’t for San Francisco’s Indian summers. The daily 75-and-sunny forecast hasn’t really made me want to cozy up with chili and Oktoberfest beers and pumpkin everything as much as I usually do. But I’m craving Fall in a big way, so although the weather might not be cooperating, I’ve been determined to make it feel like Fall in our house ever since the calendar crept over into October. And what better way to do that than with dark chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes?

grilled peach and stovetop pistachio granola breakfast bowls // my bacon-wrapped life

I can just feel the days of fresh peaches lining the grocery store rows slipping away, and I’m holding on with all my might. Don’t leave me, little guys!! But try as I may, they’re going, and I know this just might be my last awesome-peach hurrah of the summer. I’m trying to be cool about it. (Cue dramatic sobbing.)
