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?…

Pumpkin Oat Muffins

These Pumpkin Oat Muffins will blow your mind! there’s no flour used in these muffins. Meaning if you buy gluten-free oats, that makes these muffins gluten-free on top of already being vegetarian and dairy-free! One of the best parts is that these muffins are so easy to make.

A quick whir around a blender with the oats and a mix with wet ingredients and you’ve got yourself an easy peasy muffin batter! I topped these off with a touch of raw sugar to give a little added sweetness, but honestly these muffins are pretty stand alone…

Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal

If you’re a fan of pecan pie and you’re a fan of oatmeal, you’re going to love this Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal! It’s basically my Baked Amish Overnight Oatmeal with a candied pecan pie style topping. It’s perfect for chilly Fall mornings as we get closer to Halloween AND Thanksgiving. This Pecan Pie Baked Oatmeal would actually make a really great breakfast for the morning of Thanksgiving because you can make it ahead of time and bake it in the morning. No fuss. no muss.

Of course, one of my favorite things about this oatmeal, is for sure the topping, but the ease of making it and having it on hand and ready to go for breakfast is pretty nice too….

Apple Spice Granola

September 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

This week we’re finally going ‘back to school’. I made the tough decision to start my little one with learning online at least for the first week, and maybe even on to the first semester. There is no other reason than the fact that I work from home myself and have for years, so the idea of her doing school online here at the start, isn’t really such a ‘big deal’. Even so, it’s still BACK TO SCHOOL. Which means any and all things involved in that. Even breakfast!

Of course, with our first cold front blowing in on the day she starts school, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make some Fall-centric granola for breakfast. This Apple Spice Granola is gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan too…

Apple Cider Bundt Cake

August 31, 2020 Amanda Plott

It’s been a weird year, and it looks as if it will continue to be a weird year through to the very end. Even with all the craziness that’s going on in the world, it keeps turning and the seasons keep changing. As we loop back around into Fall, one of my favorite times of year, I’m more than excited to start using seasonal flavors like pumpkin and apple!

For me, it’s not quite time to break out the pumpkins, so I decided to start off on the lighter end with apples! This Apple Cider Bundt Cake is fairly easy to make and bakes up beautifully in no time at all. It’s loaded with apple goodness and the warm spices of apple cider, making it perfect for Fall…
