Here is a yummy oat muffin /cake in a mug that my coach Mary Lou suggested.
Here is what you need!
1/4 of quick oats
1/2 container of unsweetened apple sauce
1 tbsp of unsweetened vanilla almond milk or plain
1 egg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp of baking powder
dash of salt
2 tsp of brown sugar substitute I used Lakanto Golden

mix everything in your mug that you sprayed with nonstick spray.
Cook in your microwave for about 3 mins or a tad less.
This whole mug is only 2 smart points.
You can change it up by adding 1/3 cup oats and the whole apple sauce and it would come out to 3 smart points. Or you can use an oatmeal packet that is flavored instead of the quick oats you just need to adjust the points to what they are for the packet and some packets have the sweetener and cinnamon already, Just be aware and adjust.

Pink Party Dip / Beet Hummus

1/2 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt
salt and pepper
Place everything in the food processor and get to the consistency that you like, smooth is best.  Taste for more salt and pepper. Place extra chopped beets on top for garnish and heck they taste great.
