Cinnamon Sugar Donut Twists (Air-Fryer)

July 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Donuts are a weekly staple in my house. And sometimes, especially these days, I’d much rather make them myself than go out and get them from somewhere. Baked donuts have their place in this world, but being as I’ve fallen in love with my air fryer, I thought I would give donuts a try in it!

These Cinnamon Sugar Donut Twists are every bit as good as ones you’ll get from any local donut place. But, they’re a lot better-for-you being made with far less sugar and oil. They’re sort of a cross between baked donuts and fried donuts. A perfect mix of the two…

Skinny Peaches & Cream Baked Oatmeal

July 13, 2020 Amanda Plott

Peaches are a big thing around here during the summer. Even though this summer is a little different, there’s still plenty of peaches to go around. So when I got my hands on some fresh local peaches, I wanted to be sure to do something worthy with them. That’s where this Skinny Peaches & Cream Baked Oatmeal comes in.

I used the base for my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal for this one. It’s a tried and true recipe that is easy to make, and perfect to have ready to go in the busy mornings. Instead of leaving it ‘as is’, I loaded the oats with pieces of diced fresh peach…

Toaster Strudel

July 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite breakfast bites growing up had to have been a toaster strudel. I guess there was just something about the flaky crust and the jam filling that would never get all the way hot in the very center. Being as I happened to have both some leftover jam and some puff pastry on hand, I thought I’d try making some homemade toaster strudels (and maybe even get the middle warm!)

These homemade Toaster Strudels are SUPER easy to make and are WAY more impressive than the delicious kid-friendly crap in a box. They are thick, fluffy, and full of whatever jam happens to be your favorite. Plus, they truly only take 30 minutes from start to finish. Well worth the time!…

Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos

As American as apple pie…? I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good long while since I had an apple pie. Much less made one. And being as I’m Texas girl? I’ll stick with these Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos!

Homemade apple pie filling is rolled up together with a creamy caramel filling and then dusted with cinnamon sugar for a perfectly simple take on apple pie, Tex-Mex style! These apple pie bites of goodness would be great as a part of breakfast (or brunch), or as dessert…

PBJ Banana Bread

Move over plain jane banana bread! There’s a new banana bread in town, and it goes by PBJ. That’s right, this banana bread is made with creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a swirl of strawberry jam. It’s like banana bread and a PBJ had a baby! Who says you can’t have a PBJ for breakfast?

For being loaded up with all the PBJ favorites, this banana bread is made better-for-you in the best of ways! All of the sugar has been subbed out for natural sweetener, and half of the oil was swapped for an unsweetened apple sauce. Don’t worry though! Even with those minor adjustments, this bread turns out a-mazing!…

Milk & Cereal Cinnamon Rolls

June 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

In case you missed it, cereal milk is becoming a fairly popular thing. You know what I’m talking about, the milk that’s leftover in the bowl after enjoying cereal. It’s got little bits of cereal in it and is slightly sweetened and flavored by the cereal of choice. Yum…

When I decided on cinnamon rolls for breakfast, I looked through the pantry and saw some fruity cereal sitting there, waiting to be used. I knew exactly what to do. Milk and cereal cinnamon rolls!…
