Skinny Peanut Butter Bread

November 16, 2020 Amanda Plott

Baking is the name of the game right now. It never fails, every year in the midst of Fall and Winter months I attempt to get as much use out of my oven as possible since it becomes too hot to do so through the most of the Spring and Summer months. I’ve made a lot of breads lately and I’ve got to say that this Skinny Peanut Butter Bread is one of my favorites.

This bread is perfectly sweet and full of peanut butter flavor. I found it to be a great breakfast bread, but I’m wondering too if there could be other uses by way of a PB&J sandwich…

Apple Pie Monkey Bread

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?…

Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Usually around this time of year my daughter is begging my mom to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread or muffins, but since my mom isn’t around yet this year (for the obvious reasons and the not so obvious ones) , I decided to whip up a loaf of the family favorite myself.

This Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is lightened up in the best of ways without sacrificing flavor or texture. The bread is just as moist and decadent as it’s full on bad boy brethren - I promise! I only made a couple of swaps to this bread. One was subbing in some natural sweetener in place of sugar, and another was subbing out ALL of the brown sugar for a brown sugar/sweetener blend. That’s it. That’s all…

Blackout Brownies

A couple of weeks back I got my hands on some ‘black’ cocoa powder. It’s extra dark unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder and it is delicious! It’s a great way to get a naturally deep dark black chocolate for baked goods. Which means it’s absolutely perfect for blackout, black velvet, and Halloween sweets!

These Blackout Brownies are based off of one of my tried and true family favorite brownie recipes that’s been in my back pocket for a good while now. With Halloween looming just a few days away, I thought what better time than now to make my favorite brownies with this black cocoa powder…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

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!…

Individual Pizza Pot Pies

October 4, 2020 Amanda Plott

Yep! Pizza in the form of a pot pie. Turned upside down into a delicious individual bowl of pizza goodness. This pizza pot pie makes it’s very own pizza crust bread bowl that is perfect for a single serving of cheesy sauce ‘deep dish’ style pizza!

The best part is that you can alter each individual pizza to have your own favorite toppings. I left the main part of these as ‘cheese pizza’ so that you can customize and add your other pizza topping favorites. I added pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, and jalapeños to mine…
