Banana-Yogurt Oatmeal Muffins

A healthy, tasty muffin your family is sure to love. For the Greek yogurt, I highly recommend Oikos or Chobani. It lends a very delicate texture to the end product. The blueberry flavor doesn't come through on its own, but adds a nice depth of flavor. -- posted by Chef #661355

Breakfast Muffins (Make Ahead )

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:32:54 -0500

If you like fresh baked muffins in the morning, then this would be the perfect recipe for you. You can prepare the batter in your leisure and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week and the muffins can then be cooked as you require them. Also these little beauties can be frozen for up to 2 months perfect for lunchboxes (just take them out in the morning and they will be defrosted by lunchtime) or if you like them warm, take them out of the freezer and pop them in the microwave for a short time and serve warm. This is a recipe from Barbara Northwoodread from New Idea. -- posted by Tisme

While looking for a healthier muffin recipe, I came across this little gem. I found this recipe on the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/fruit-nut-harvest-muffins.html Care2 says: There is so much whole-grain, high-fiber, anti-oxidant nourishment in every bite, and they hardly take any time at all to make: I can mix the batter while the water heats for tea, and bake them while I sip. Plus they freeze beautifully to enjoy on those rushed weekdays when the memory of a leisurely breakfast seems but a dream. -- posted by SassiFras

Pineapple Oatmeal Pancakes (Gluten-Free)

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:44:38 -0500

Oh my gosh these are AWESOME! This can of pineapple on the counter was calling to me, and my husband can't eat wheat, so if I make pancakes they're gonna have oats in them. Plus, the Tahitian Pancakes came up on Heroes in the past week or so, so that's on my mind. I combined two different recipes that I found online, one for pineapple pancakes and one for oatmeal pancakes. Neither one is like this new version though. SO AWESOME! One last thing, I used coconut milk instead of cow milk, since my husband is also on this non-dairy kick. This recipe makes A LOT of pancakes, and they're very filling. Store uneaten pancakes in the fridge and have breakfast all week! -- posted by kitchengrrl

Pear-Apple Butter

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:17:17 -0500

This tastes like autumn, but is great any time of year. If fresh pears are not in season, you can use canned pear halves packed in light syrup. Just drain four 16-oz. cans, puree in blender or food processor and simmer with remaining ingredients as directed. This spread is delicious on toast or muffins. It will keep up to 1 month in the refrigerator, so it would make a great gift come holiday season. -- posted by JackieOhNo!

Banging Banana Bread

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:07:02 -0500

I LOVE banana bread. So, I have made it for many years. I am always looking to get the flavor just perfect! I use "old" bananas. The upscale produce shop won't sell them, so I usually call and see if they have any. That way I can use them right away AND they sell them to me super cheap! I usually bake around 150 mini loaves to include in my Christmas Goodies Bags. I like my recipes to have measurements for items, sizes for pans, and baking directions. So you will find all of that in this recipe that I have finally decided I have "tweeked" it right down to d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. -- posted by Tantric1

Please note that most of the prep time is slicing your cranberries! If you have a food processor, it definitely helps. -- posted by Rhapsodies

After the Party is Over! Refreshing Detox Fresh Fruit Salad

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:50:57 -0500

A wonderful brunch recipe for the morning after or when you need an early boost for a busy day ahead; although this is super healthy and refreshing, I have also served this as the dessert dish for a buffet, BUT with champagne as the liquid instead of orange juice! (Just another idea for dressing this fresh fruit salad up with frills!) This is not only healthy, but it is SO festive and colourful - my photo shows the one I made this Boxing Day (26th December), I usually add kiwi fruit too, but we had run out of them.......oooops! My quantities listed here make enough for 6 to 8 people, but this can be increased as well as reduced to suit personal requirements. I normally serve this with crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt, but its also wonderful when served naked, the salad that is, not me! The fruits I have suggested are rich in vitamins and antioxidants for a quick mental boost, as well as a rapid detox to aid recovery after a heavy night or after indulging in rich food, but please do adapt this to your own seasonal and local produce if you wish. -- posted by French Tart

Next-Day Baked Cinnamon-Apple French Toast

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:05:15 -0500

We made this for Christmas morning this year (2009). My mother found the recipe in her local paper -- The Daily Breeze in Redondo Beach, CA. When I made it, I added in not just the apples, but all the liquid -- as a result the dish was more like bread pudding than french toast ... it was still great, and I'd make it that way again. But if you'd like a drier texture, don't add the apple liquid. I also swapped out the cinnamon and nutmeg for two teaspoons of Recipe #45672 . -- posted by KLHquilts

So Easy and Tasty Apple Streusel

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:52:01 -0500

"Crisp fall apples, tossed in cinnamon and baked with delicious streusel. Almost as good as pie, with half the calories and it's in the oven in 10 minutes! Plus, it can be served warm with ice cream, and the smaller size means it won't be there to tempt you later. Enough for a small mini casserole dish that will serve 3-4 people. Double the recipe for an 8x8 pan, quadruple it for a 9x13 pan". Unless you double the batch and use a bigger pan, in which case, it's a great breakfast topping for oatmeal! Enjoy! Adapted from Penzey's spices and the intro is what they said about the recipe. A little history: In baking and pastry making, the term streusel (a German word meaning "something scattered or sprinkled", from the verb streuen, akin to the English verb 'strew') refers to a crumb topping of butter, flour, and white sugar (traditional German) that is baked on top of muffins, breads, and cakes (e.g. Streuselkuchen). Some modern recipes add various spices and occasionally chopped nutmeats. Although the topping is of German origin, it is sometimes referred to as Danish or Swedish. -- posted by Sharon123

German Pancake (Also Called Dutch Baby)

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:04:25 -0500

The German pancake, also called Dutch Baby, is like a crepe crossed with a popover. It's ridiculously easy to make (the batter is made in under 2 minutes in a blender) and is always a crowd pleaser. Watching the pancake puff up before your very eyes is always entertaining. You can add fresh fruit to the batter, add it on top after baking ,or go crazy and do both! Then you have the option of topping it with the more traditional squeeze of fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar or simply drizzle on the maple syrup, for the syrup lovers. -- posted by P ROD

Breakfast Apples

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 00:57:14 -0500

This is a recipe from the Bagley House Bed and Breakfast. It is their most requested recipe and is an adapted version of Miss Bobo's Apple Goodie recipe from Lynchburg, Tennessee. It's very much like an apple crisp. Their recipe gives instructions to clean the dish as soon as possible or reheat adding water and a few drops of dishwashing soap to help remove the caramelized sugar. I didn't and boy do I wish I had. The recipe reads 4-5 servings, but because it is so sweet, I cut down on how much to serve. I did not time the preparation. -- posted by Toni in Colorado

The texture is slightly fibrous, due to the quinoa. Can be served warm or cold, l prefer mine partially frozen (I place them in individual cups, then freeze for an hour). Adjust spices to your taste. You can sub the milk for soymilk (if using vanilla flavoured, omit sugar and vanilla from ingredients). -- posted by Génial Génie

Avocado Clementine Breakfast Salad

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:51:55 -0500

I'm not an ordinary breakfast eater (by North American standards). I like savory dishes and soups and all kinds of interesting things for breakfast, but rarely enjoy sweet cereals or toast. My family thinks I'm insane, but I don't care. In any case, this particular salad appealed to me one morning so I threw it together and it turned out delicious. Prep time includes time to boil egg. While egg is boiling, cut all the rest of the ingredients and it comes together in a jiffy. This works well using Catalina/French style dressing as well. -- posted by Cookworm

Buttermilk and Sour Cherry Scones for Afternoon Tea and Picnics

I created these because I looked all over for a recipe for blueberry banana muffins that were actually healthy. Many had claimed to be this but if you looked at the nutrients for it, they were horrible. -- posted by Amandarenee31

I adapted recipe #63501 to my current diet which limits sugar and fats. Healthy Omega 3 fats, such as that found in walnuts are encouraged. -- posted by JoMomma in Louisiana

Better Banana Walnut Bread

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:16:26 -0500

I love banana bread! Unfortunately, it is always loaded in fat when you buy it or follow traditional recipes. There are tons of low fat recipe options out there but the always take out the walnut. Removing them will take away from those "scary numbers" we all watch; however, walnuts are such a rich source of nutrition that they are worth keeping. Side Note: Many people use "Splenda" as a sugar substitute, if you get an icky aftertaste try Stevia, like "Truvia". I personally prefer "Sun Crystal", a mix of natural sugar cane and stevia. Ultimately, it's your choice. -- posted by Southern Kitchen Gardener

Power Packed Purple Smoothie

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:24:14 -0500

I've gotten really into having smoothies for breakfast lately. They taste great and it helps me get in some great nutrients to start my day. This one contains a couple ingredients that will make you think "What??!!" Trust me on this one. The cottage cheese adds lots of protein and gives the smoothie a creamy texture. Spinach adds lots of vitamin A and you can't even taste it (really, I promise!). ___________________________________________ Recipezaar does not have light soy milk in their nutrition database and therefore, the nutrition data is incorrect. When I make this smoothie with Silk's light plain soy milk it has: 372 Calories, 6g Fat, 60g Carbs, 7g Fiber, 24g Protein, 1,082mg Potassium, 42% RDA Calcium, 25% RDA Magnesium, 44% RDA Vitamin A, 63% RDA Vitamin B-12, 33% RDA Vitamin B-6, 92% RDA Vitamin C, 30% RDA Vitamin D -- posted by muncheechee

Peach & Pear Muffins

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:16:08 -0500

This recipe was designed in answer to a request from my son for crocodile muffins. The pear skins are the crocodile skin, the peaches are the eyeballs and the butterscotch chips are the teeth. My version is wheat, egg, and (almost) dairy free, but feel free to switch it up and use eggs and milk if you prefer. I haven't found dairy free butterscotch chips, so you could leave them out of the recipe if you needed to. There is no added sugar in this recipe because the fruit and butterscotch are plenty sweet. -- posted by DiabeticMom

Apple Breakfast Cake

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:22:22 -0500

A quick yummy dish for brunch. Original recipe from Sunset October 2009 but I added the bacon and cheese on top. I don't have an ovenproof skillet so I cooked the butter, sugar, cinnamon and apples in a saucepan, poured the egg mixture in a greased 8" square glass casserole and poured the apple mixture on top. It worked fine. It'll serve six if you have other dishes available or armed guards at the buffet table. -- posted by SkinnyFrogLegs
