English Muffin Loaf

December 26, 2022 Amanda Plott

A day late, but we’re going to blame it on the Holiday. Today I have for you, this English Muffin Loaf! It’s an english muffin in the form of a loaf of bread. It’s sliceable and yumable just the same as an english muffin, except you don’t have to tend to it like you would if you were making homemade english muffins.

The loaf is full of nooks and crannies just like a proper english muffin, and I really want to try to cut it in half lengthwise and make some sort of breakfast sandwich on the entire loaf. But, for now all we’re doing is the loaf itself…

Maple & Bourbon Banana Bread

Why make standard plain jane banana bread when you can have this Maple & Bourbon Banana Bread? I took a standard banana bread and pretty much healthified it by subbing out the brown sugar for a brown sugar blend. I also used a greek yogurt in place of any sour cream. Other than that? I added in some pecans, bourbon, and maple syrup for the flavor.

My maple syrup was bourbon aged too, which gave me extra bourbon flavor. And once it was all done and still warm? I poured just a little bit more of the maple syrup on top to let it soak into the bread. More flavor. More maple. More moisture. More sweetness!…

Toaster Oven Bacon & Egg Toast

October 4, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s been a busy start to the week and it’s going to continue being a busy week I think. But, that’s okay! I’ve at least got a breakfast plan with this quick Toaster Oven Bacon & Egg Toast. I’ve had my toaster oven for a couple of years now, but in the past I’ve only ever put it out on the counter and made use of it on rare occasions and I’m starting to see that maybe that was a mistake!

This Toaster Oven Bacon & Egg Toast is super easy to make and I can get it going while I’m getting the kiddo ready for school or doing any number of other things that I do in the early part of the day. This breakfast is as simple as it gets with just three actual ingredients. Bread. Egg. Bacon. That’s it!…

Bread Machine Banana Bread

August 17, 2022 Amanda Plott

I love banana bread, but I don’t like fussing around with it. And I really still don’t want to heat my kitchen up more than I have to with it being on the edges of triple digits here still. So! That’s why I decided to finally try out the ‘quick bread’ feature on my bread machine and I made some banana bread in it instead of the oven. What was the end result? Well, you tell me!

This Bread Machine Banana Bread is as easy as can be. Just dump all the ingredients in - no yeast required - and go! The bread machine does all the hard work for you, all the way from mixing to baking. And at the end of it all you have a nice loaf of fresh banana bread that you barely had to do anything for…

Jalapeño Cheddar Bread Machine Bread

August 5, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s H.O.T. Hot. It’s the long stretch here at the end of Summer and I can’t wait to get to the other end of it when we hopefully roll into the cooler weather of Fall. With it being the heat of the Summer, I’m still in avoiding-the-oven mode for the most part. But, that being said, I haven’t made any fresh homemade bread in a while and my bread machine was starting to collect dust. We can’t have that!

So I busted my bread machine out and decided to make a savory flavorful bread to have on hand for lunches this week. This Jalapeño Cheddar Bread Machine Bread is super easy to make since the bread machine does literally almost all of the work for you. The mixing, the kneading, the baking - yep… all of it…
