Apple Pie Monkey Bread

November 1, 2020 Amanda Plott

Ever use want a piece of pie for breakfast? Now you can have it! This Apple Pie Monkey Bread is a winning combination of the flavors of apple pie and the ease of monkey bread. If you haven’t had monkey bread before, it’s basically a fun way to have a pull-apart breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

You can make it all sorts of fun ways. I’ve made everything from Pumpkin Spice to a savory Bacon, Egg & Cheese version! I decided to go with an apple pie theme this time since apple pie can be a Fall favorite, or even a year round treat. I mean, do you really need an excuse to have apple pie?…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

October 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

Who says Fall has to be all about pumpkins anyway? Sweet potatoes deserve some love too! These Sweet Potato Biscuits are easy to make and just about as delicious as biscuits can get. They’re fluffy and light and the perfect addition to any Fall inspired meal, be it breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I topped mine with some apple butter and served them with fresh berries as breakfast, but they would be damn good with some gravy or served alongside a pot roast.

These biscuits would be super easy to make vegan too! How? Just sub in some vegan butter for the regular butter and bing-bang-boom, you’ve got vegan biscuits!…

Skinny 'Starbucks' Pumpkin Scones

September 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

Once more, I am forced to say... 'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence.

Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl.

If you haven't noticed yet... I am all about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed!...

Skinny Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

September 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

I clearly have an issue with cinnamon rolls... They are a weak point for me. Always have been, and always will be.

I've attempted to make cinnamon rolls without cake mix, but honestly, the come out so much more soft and fluffy with the addition. Plus, it allows for you to have some fun with all the flavors of cake mix that are offered! ...

One of my fall favorites is spice cake. And what better to use as a base for some pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls?

Cranberry Orange Bread

December 21, 2019 Amanda Plott

While it’s cold enough outside for a few more months, I’m planning on doing a lot more baking and using up precious oven time while I can. The heat of the summer (and sometimes spring) often keeps from being able to comfortably bake anything. At all. Ever. To keep on theme with the Holidays, I thought I would whip up a festive bread for breakfast this morning.

This Cranberry Orange Bread is loaded with flavor, the freshness of the orange and the tartness of the cranberry pair well with the sweetness of the bread. Plus, it’s pretty easy to toss together in the morning and bakes for a good amount of hands off time…

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Men Cookies

December 2, 2019 Amanda Plott

Tis the season… for cookies! It came to me suddenly the other day that I had never shared an actual gingerbread cookie recipe. I’ve done chocolate ginger cookies and butterscotch ginger. But, never actually gingerbread GINGERBREAD cookies.

These Whole Wheat Gingerbread Men are just that. WHOLE WHEAT gingerbread men cookies. I decided not to lighten them up with any sugar substitutes or any of my usual shenanigans. I wanted to keep these cookies simple and classic. Besides… the whole wheat part makes them a little less naughty and a little more nice…
