On most mornings, I drink my healthy smoothie but sometimes I just want something sweet that resembles a muffin. That’s how I came up with these crumb bars. They’re maybe more like a dessert but sufficient enough for breakfast, in my opinion. They have a great spice blend with a hint of cardamom. I really like this spice. I’m not a huge fan of Indian food but this spice which is prevalent in Indian cooking is one of my favorites. I love to combine it, when fitting, in my baked goods. Give it a chance and I promise you’ll fall in love too 🙂
Combine ½ c sugar, baking powder, flour, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Mix with whisk. Add lemon zest, juice, vanilla, egg, and mix. Once combined, butter with flour mixture with hands until combined. You can use a standing mixer or pastry cutter to get the texture faster. It will be grainy and not full combined.
In a separate bowl, mix ¼ c sugar and cornstarch. Add blueberries and mix to cover.
In a 13x9 pyrex, cover with cooking spray then add half of the flour mixture and press down. After, add the blueberries and spread evenly. Spread the rest of the flour mixture on top of the blueberries. Bake at 350 convection for about 40 minutes. Let cool before you cut.
I spend a good amount of time researching to get inspired with new recipes and ideas. I came across a grainy, seedy all natural breakfast cereal recipe and had to try it. Surprisingly, it keeps me full for hours until lunch time!
Every morning I make some kind of berry variation smoothie. It never fills me up and I’m hungry in an hour. So this morning, I put the cooked super cereal in the bowl and tilted it then poured in my morning smoothie= morning super cereal smoothie bowl! The hot cereal mixed with the cold smoothie was just perfect, I highly recommend making these 2 recipes for your next breakfast.
A friend joined me in making donuts for :: Valentines Day :: We landed on the lemon blueberry flavor with spicy cardamom because you always need something sweet in your life. These aren’t your usual fried , crunch yet fluffy donuts. They’re more like muffins in the shape of donuts. The Meyer lemon glaze really balances out the sweetness of the sugar. I hope you enjoy something sweet in your life this Valentines Day!
In small saucepan over medium high heat, add blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Mash blueberries until only a few remain whole. Heat and stir until boiling. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat in greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, milk and melted butter until fully incorporated.
Spray doughnut pan with non-stick spray, filling each cavity with ¼-1/3 cup doughnut batter. Dollop two to three tsp of blueberry jam on top doughnut batter in each doughnut pan cavity. Using a knife swirl the jam into the doughnut batter. Bake in oven for 9 minutes, or until light golden brown.
In small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon zest, milk and vanilla bean caviar until sugar is dissolved and mixture is runny. Dunk tops of doughnuts into glaze and turn right side up to set. Serve while still slightly warm.
One day I was searching for the best cinnamon roll recipe. I could have easily bought the pillsbury stuff but that’s too easy. Homemade dough is always better. I searched through pinterest and found this great recipe that had a secret ingredient. This ingredient was the key to the moist, fluffy, delicious texture and flavor. They were a hit at the brunch I went to. So if you want to wow your friends, I suggest you make these.
Happy New Year! I know, I know, everyone starts their diets in the beginning of the new year. It’s the time to say bye-bye to sweets and treats. Do you really keep to this? I like to trick myself and eat more greens yet still have treats! I mean, come on, it’s not fun cutting out scrumptious desserts. It’s so hard to resist delicious sweets, especially a donut egg sandwich. Besides, you’re only eating one donut and one isn’t that bad, right?
I came up with this idea when the donut burger was all the hype. I thought it would be a grand idea to cook some canadian bacon, onions, and garlic then add a fried egg to it. It’s the perfect balance, you get the sweet from the crunchy yet soft glazed donut, the saltiness from the garlicy fried egg, and the creaminess from the avocado and Boursin cheese. Watch the video to see how it’s made. I’m positive that it will blow your socks off.
