I had so many frozen banana's in my freezer that it was getting a little too ridiculous so I decided to finally use them once and for all and have a banana day! I made a Toffee Banana Bread and Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, both using the same recipe but with different moderation's. The original recipe was different from the recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook but decided to follow the online recipe instead because of the good reviews.
I was in the mood for cinnamon buns this morning for breakfast but was too impaitent to make the old fashioned kind with yeast. Luckily I found this recipe that looked great, was fast and easy, and had great reviews. Because of some of the reviews stating that it tasted too much like bisquick, I decided to make bisquick from scratch instead and found this recipe. Although the buns had more of a sweet biscuit texture rathar than a soft cinnamon bun texture, they still worked out well and it was hard not to eat just one.
My mom loves scones but she is very picky about them (ie. they have to be big and preferably with berries) and probably eats about one a day. My mom has been asking me to make her scones for some time now, so I decided to make a batch for my boyfriend as a trial run for my mom. The scones worked out well thanks to this unique recipe that calls for cornmeal and whipping cream rather than using butter.
Although my favorite banana bread recipe is my mom's (which I believe to be the best), I thought I should try out other recipes as well. I decided to try this recipe for a Low Fat Banana Bread that I found on CookieMadness.com; eventhough, this recipe from Joy of Baking sounded good as well. The banana bread didn't taste very low fat (which is a good thing), it had a great vanilla buttermilk flavor loaded with banana goodness.
This recipe was a bit of an experiment that I got from my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook (I was mainly drawn to it because of its name) and I've posted the recipe below for you to try. I wasn't too sure what to expect, but from what I researched I think they turned out well and are best served at breakfast maybe with some honey or whipped cream. They kind of look like a yorkshire pudding but taste more like a cream puff without any cream in the middle. The have a soft hollow center and a crispy outside that are best served warm right out of the oven. They taste like an egg pastry, so if you don't like the flavor of eggs you may not enjoy them. I think they may be good with a little grated cheese mixed into the batter to go with the eggy flavor of them. They were definitely a fun experiment to make!
These were a tasty little breakfast treat eaten either by themselves or served warm with butter. I altered the original recipe called cinnamon breakfast biscuits form my Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. They were very easy to make and had a great flavor and texture especially with the orange glaze I made for the tops. The outsides had a great crisp edge and the middles had a great soft texture like a traditional breakfast biscuit. I've posted my adapted recipe for you to try and enjoy.
This is, hands down, my all time favorite banana bread recipe. When I was growing up my mom would always make this and double the recipe to make two loafs and by the end of the day we would already be cutting into the second loaf. It's definitely not a low fat banana bread recipe but that's what makes it so moist and delicious and I ALWAYS add chocolate chips to it no matter what! It has a great banana chocolate flavor (especially if you use very ripe bananas) and the texture is so moist it just melts in your mouth. This recipe taste great the day you bake it, or the next day, or in the fridge, or warmed in the microwave, or even straight from the freezer (this recipe freezes well just wrap it tightly in cling wrap then tightly in tin foil and should last up to months). I gave my boy
If you have never tried a Cinnabon cinnamon roll before then you must immediately go to your closest Cinnabon and get one or make this recipe. Cinnabon cinnamon rolls are so soft in texture that they just melt in your mouth and they have such great sweet flavor that you can't not love them. Once I made them I was just going to sample a piece of one but I couldn't resist the goodness and ended up eating a whole one to myself This recipe is not only good and taste exactly like a Cinnabon roll but its also really easy and quick to make.
I thought these biscuits were so beautiful when they come out of the oven that I was drawn to make them because of their unique fan shape. I got this recipe from my Better Homes and Gradens: Cook Healthy Today Cookbook. The little sweet biscuits are only 121 calories and 4g of fat each, which isn't too bad for a sweet treat. The biscuits were easy enough to make, as well as fast, and I had fun making them into their fun shapes. They had great crispy biscuit texture on the outside and nice soft center with great sugar and cinnamon flavor. I would make these again for a quick treat to serve with tea or coffee if company was coming over. I was also thinking they would
It's almost Mother's Day and as I've mentioned before my mom is obsessed with scones, she probably has about 20 different scones in her freezer right now. I thought a big batch of scones to add to her freezer collection would be a perfect idea for a Mother's Day present. I got the recipe from All Recipes while searching for Mother's Day desserts and I knew I just had to try it for my mom because of all the great reviews. I decided to add whole frozen cranberries and a bit of orange zest and juice to the recipe to give my mom a new flavor to add to her collection.
