This recipe is from Whole-Grain Mornings and I was immediately drawn to the sweet and savory aspect of this peach breakfast cobbler recipe as well as the thought of peach cobbler for breakfast! It is as quick as described and would make a great Father’s Day breakfast. Love the tip of using the peaches skin-on. Extra […]

Thai Sticky Rice with Mango
Rice for dessert (or breakfast)? Of course! If you have only had the European style rice puddings you are in for a treat. The extra stickiness of Thai sticky rice lends an incomparable textural quality and is worth seeking out. The recipe is from Amazing Grains by Ghillie James as are the Chocolate Dipped Chewy […]

Cherry Cheese Coffee Cake
Alisa Hunstman first came across my radar when she published Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes. Her Mile-High Devil’s Food Cake and take on homemade wedding cakes caught my attention, along with her easy writing style and clear instructions. Her newest book, Desserts from the Famous Loveless Cafepresents cakes and so much more. No yeast, no rolling, no waiting—this […]

Chocolate-Orange Hot Cross Buns
Edd Kimber is known through his blog theboywhobakes.co.uk as well as as a winner of the The Great British Bake Off contest. Read our interview with this fabulous self-taught baker. The following is an excerpt from his book, Say It With Cake. For me, hot cross buns shout out “Easter!”: the smell, the taste and the nostalgia of […]

Morning Glory Muffins
These muffins are packed with carrots, apples, coconut, walnuts and a bit of brown sugar and spice. They are oil-based, so they keep well and have a hearty texture. The dark raisins and walnuts are classic ingredients, but feel free to play with golden raisins or pecans as well. The combination of carrots, apple and […]

Chocolate Granola
I like to have dark chocolate every day, but I do believe in moderation. So many sweet chocolate recipes are packed with sugar and fat that I don’t need or want on a daily basis. I have seen chocolate granola recipes that were very sweet and much more dessert-like and I thought, why not take […]

Cranberry Nut Muffins
These cranberry nut muffins are made with sour cream, which creates a tender, rich batter. In fact, you can use this muffin recipe as a base for your own add-ins: raisins, dried cherries, apricots, chopped dates, almonds, etc., but we are highlighting the combination of tart cranberries and crunchy nuts that are perfect in a […]

Blueberry Almond Baked Oatmeal
When it comes to oatmeal, we prefer the health benefits and the texture of steel-cut or rolled oats. Sure, quick and instant oats exist, but they cook up to a bowl of mush, in our opinion. Baked oatmeal has been making the rounds online as a convenient do-ahead breakfast. In one fell swoop you can […]

Pecan Raisin Sticky Biscuits
When you walk through a mall and smell cinnamon buns, does it make your knees go weak? We’ve been there. There is something about the aroma and flavors of cinnamon, brown sugar and lots of butter that makes the whole more than a sum of its parts. Put that together with a sticky, chewy, nutty […]

Caramel Monkey Bread
Gooey caramel poured into the bottom of the pan creates just enough stickiness to hold together the nut-and-sugar-coated balls of sweet dough. The result is a pull-apart treat that is fun and festive to eat. I was expecting a crowd to gather when I offered Caramel Monkey Bread to my staff. The aroma alone was […]

Panettone Bread Pudding with Grand Marnier Sauce
Is this dessert or a brunch dish? You decide. Panettone is an Italian fruit bread – rich, sweet and eggy with the addition of raisins and candied fruit. Here, the bread is cubed and combined with rich custard and baked in a water bath. This keeps the center moist and creamy while the top develops a bit […]

Homemade Granola
Granola is a funny thing. Oats seem to be a constant, but then the formulas go every which way. Some have fruit, some have nuts, some are high in fat, others low, and sweeteners vary from sugar to honey to none at all. Our idea with this recipe was to make a tasty, satisfying granola […]

Gingerbread Muffins
When you think of gingerbread, does your mind go to dark, spicy cake squares redolent with molasses or do you think of gingerbread men cookies? While we love both of those options, we happen to be partial to the way the flavors in our gingerbread muffins go with our hot morning beverages. These muffins showcase […]

Cinnamon Swirl Bread
This cinnamon swirl bread is a classic pan loaf that just gets better when toasted and spread with butter or used for French toast. There are a few keys to making this loaf perfectly: You need to scald the milk to denature the proteins that inhibit the bread rising; you need to use ice instead […]

Cinnamon Sugar Scones
These scones remind me of the cinnamon-sugar cookies that my great grandmother would roll out and bake from scraps of pie dough. Freshly baked, the crispy edges of these scones are a nice contrast to the moist interior. The layers in these scones separate beautifully while baking, revealing the deep dark cinnamon sugar flavor inside. […]

Pecan Sticky Buns
Any day that starts with sticky buns is going to be sweet in more ways than one. Amy’s is justly famous for their version. The buns are baked pull-apart style in a rectangular pan so the buttery caramel and nuts stay primarily on the top. A few minutes after the rolls come out of the […]
