Last week I had the urge to make a new recipe, so I went looking for another coffee cake to add to my collection. I found a 1997 Southern Living magazine page neatly folded and tucked into the safety of my recipe box! As I unfolded this treasure, I found two cake recipes waiting to baked! They both looked delicious. The decision as to which I should make was an easy one. As I read the ingredients, I realized that I had everything necessary to make the Banana Sour Cream Coffee Cake.
While on the hunt for healthy alternatives for some of my favorite breakfast foods, I found the delicious Three-Ingredient Pancakes that I shared here recently. I have made them several times and swoon at their texture and flavor!
Then my daughter told me about making a quiche and swapping out the caloric crust for a tortilla shell! I buy the La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas and they are super low in calories, so I knew they would be a good choice for my “crust.”
My breakfast routine for about five days of the week is Greek yogurt, fruit and granola. l eat the Oikos yogurt because it has 15 grams of protein and keeps my sugar from dropping. I eat this menu because it’s delicious, and also healthy.
But there are days when I would love to enjoy a pancake, but cringe at starting the day with lots of calories. Then I tried a three-ingredient pancake recipe that was absolutely delicious, and my breakfast menu now has a whole new entry!
If you love pancakes, but hate standing there taking the time to pour and flip them one at a time, then the recipe I’m sharing today for German Pancakes is going to make your heart happy! These are made in muffin tins and baked in the oven. They puff up and turn into the perfect little “bowl” for a Blueberry sauce to get spooned into! It couldn’t be easier or more delicious!
Mini German Pancakes 1 cup milk 6 eggs 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. orange zest (optional) 1/4 cup butter, melted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend first six ingredients (milk through orange zest) in a blender. Be careful to see that any flour clumps get well-blended.
Blend in butter a little at a time in order to temper the eggs.
Grease muffin tins well and distribute batter evenly between 24 tins (I did more like 18. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup and filled it almost full.) Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top.
Served with your favorite topping.
I made a blueberry sauce that was so simple – 1/3 C sugar and 1 Tbl cornstarch in a sauce pan. Add 1 cup water and mix with whisk. Add 1 Cup blueberries and cook until thickened.
These would make a great breakfast for Easter morning! Add some bacon or Canadian bacon and a cup of coffee and juice, and you’d have a delicious menu to prepare you and your family to worship at Easter services!
Refresh your breakfast with this easy/delicious pancake!
I recently had the blessing of having my daughters over for a leisure Saturday breakfast. We are all “foodies.” Google defines a foodie as “one who has refined interest in food!” Our belief is that we don’t want to just eat something – we want it to be delicious. Mealtime is an event! I wanted to make it a little special!
I looked through my recipe index here on my blog, and when I saw this Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake recipe, I knew it would be the perfect addition to the rest of the meal. I wanted savory and sweet, and this was a nice addition to the egg dish I was making. This cake is fluffy, moist and full of flavor.
