Toaster Strudel

July 7, 2020 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite breakfast bites growing up had to have been a toaster strudel. I guess there was just something about the flaky crust and the jam filling that would never get all the way hot in the very center. Being as I happened to have both some leftover jam and some puff pastry on hand, I thought I’d try making some homemade toaster strudels (and maybe even get the middle warm!)

These homemade Toaster Strudels are SUPER easy to make and are WAY more impressive than the delicious kid-friendly crap in a box. They are thick, fluffy, and full of whatever jam happens to be your favorite. Plus, they truly only take 30 minutes from start to finish. Well worth the time!…

Blueberry Bread (Bread Machine)

May 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’m… making a lot of bread lately. I’ve found that being stuck at home and baking seem to go hand-in-hand. And when I’m planning out breakfast, bread just happens to be my new go-to. I guess that could be due to the fact that I got a new bread machine a few months back now.

This Blueberry Bread really hit the spot. It’s light and fluffy and full of blueberry goodness. A slice of this for breakfast with some butter, jam, and a side of fresh berries is a beautiful way to start the day. I lightened this bread up by using an unsweetened almond milk and plenty of blueberries…

Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes

Feeding a crowd in the morning can be… tricky. Especially if everyone is wanting pancakes. While pancakes are a staple breakfast food, they aren’t exactly ideal when it comes to feeding a family when you wall want to sit down and enjoy a meal together. That’s where these Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes come in!

Sheet pancakes are super simple to make, and the best part is that everyone can enjoy them fresh, warm, and at the same time together. Never mind that pancakes bake themselves and you don’t have to hover over the stove for nearly an hour just to make sure you don’t under or over cook each pancake…

Pumpkin Spice Blueberry Muffins

Pumpkin spice season is upon us and I am finding every which way I can to incorporate the spices of Fall into my meals through the day. I’m pretty much convinced that if I ingest enough Fall inspired stuff that I’ll somehow manage to get the weather to cool off and for the seasons to REALLY take change here in Texas.

These Pumpkin Spice Blueberry Muffins are exactly what they sound like. Pumpkin muffins that are loaded up with LOTS and lots of fresh blueberries. There’s plenty of spice in there to warm the muffins up with lots of flavor to play on the sweet of the blueberries and pumpkin…

Blueberry Pancake Bites (Instant Pot)

August 18, 2019 Amanda Plott

Weekends are for baking and cooking… well, sort of. Except for the fact that I’m pretty much still refusing to use my stove or oven unless I absolutely have to. It’s just too damn hot here right now! That being said, I was in the mood for some blueberry pancakes this morning.

What’s a girl to do?

Instant pot (or any electric pressure cooker) to the rescue! These Blueberry Pancake Bites are whipped up quickly and cook right in the instant pot in all of 10 minutes. The end result is a magical cross between a pancake and a muffin that is as delicious as it is portable…

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake

March 31, 2019 Amanda Plott

Sundays are for brunching, and this Sunday is no different. With knowing tomorrow is Monday, and that today was going to be a lazy day for the most part, I decided to go ahead and make breakfast yesterday. Well, what does that mean? It means Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake, that’s what it means!

This Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake is made ahead of time and sits overnight in the fridge where the big cubes of hearty bread cans oat up eggs, cream cheese, blueberries and the like. Then in the morning, it’s ready to be baked and enjoyed!…
