Quick Orange Date Blender Muffins

December 3, 2015

These Quick Orange Date Blender Muffins are my absolute go-to muffin recipe. They are so simple to throw together - the orange (with peel on!) and orange juice get mixed in your blender, then blended with the egg and butter.

The few dry ingredients are mixed in a large bowl, the wet ingredients are added and quickly stirred, and BANG you have muffins!

Dates add a pleasing sweetness to the tangy orange - if you don’t have dates on hand, then I’ve made this recipe many times with dried cranberries instead.

Sweet Potato Feta Frittata

November 30, 2015

Frittatas are one of my go-to weekend breakfast dishes when I’m feeling a little fancy. They’re also a great dish to serve for a brunch party (love those!) because you literally just throw the dish in the oven and then cut and serve - which means more time with your brunch guests!

Holiday Gingerbread Granola

November 22, 2015

Have you ever made homemade granola? It’s the best thing ever. I used to spend lots of $$$ on store-bought granola, even occasionally buying the super fancy granola from specialty cafes. There was a while when I ate yogurt+granola for breakfast every day, so my granola consumption was HIGH.

Then I realised - why can’t I make this? Granola is just oats, right? Pretty much. Oats, coconut, some spices, and a few liquids to hold everything together. My favourite granola recipe is adapted from Smitten Kitchen’s cookbook (original recipe is re-printed here).

Tart Cranberry Scuffins

November 17, 2015

What’s a scuffin, you ask? Well, scone + muffin = scuffin!

A scuffin is essentially a scone baked in a muffin pan, therefore retaining its crumbly texture, and often they are fruit or jam filled. Scuffins were invented in San Francisco, of course, the birthplace of Toast, and numerous other food trends.

Fluffiest Waffles with Spiced Apple Butter

November 8, 2015

This waffle recipe is like a family secret. It’s been passed down through generations - from Js’ parents to J, and now we’ll pass it down again. There’s a reason why we don’t ever make any other waffle recipe - these waffles are the fluffiest, lightest, most delicious breakfast waffle ever.
