Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins

I have always wanted to make a pumpkin bread {or pumpkin muffins, in this case} and be able to call it healthy. I have always wanted to be able to say: it’s a serving of fruit/veggies, right?! and not have it be a joke. I have finally achieved this with these nutrient-loaded pumpkin muffins that provide a serving of pumpkin and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time.

Pumpkin Bagels

Bagels, specifically pumpkin bagels, have been on my baking list for a long time now. I decided that it was finally time to tackle bagels this fall in part because I was having some serious cravings for pumpkin bagels with the arrival of autumn and in part because my son is at a stage where he loves kneading and making things with dough.

Sourdough Breadsticks

Turn one of your pizza dough balls into breadsticks. The sourdough starter imparts a subtle tang to the breadsticks and gives them a light texture and a depth in flavor. Serve them with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

Zucchini Bread

I wanted to be able to enjoy the zucchinis that are in season {and get my son to eat the healthy green veggie} without also consuming an abundance of butter or oil. So I made zucchini bread with low-fat yogurt instead of oil. Between the grated zucchini and the yogurt the bread was incredibly moist and my family didn’t miss the oil at all.

Low-Fat Banana Bread

Substituting low-fat yogurt for the shortening in my family’s classic banana bread recipe makes for a healthier banana bread that is still moist and flavorful.

Raspberry Pastry Braid

    I love raspberries plain and simple, by the handful, on top of my yogurt, sprinkled on my pancakes, dipped in chocolate…you get the picture!  And raspberries are also one of my favorite fruits to bake with.  I had leftover dough after making hot cross buns so with a portion of the dough I made Chocolate [...]

Chocolate Chip Turtle Bread

It is easy to turn any bread {sweet or savory} into little turtles. I kneaded chocolate chips into my dough to make the turtle extra special and I decorated it with a powdered sugar glaze. Needless to say that my son was super excited when he saw a turtle coming out of the oven!

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Scones

When I make scones I like to make an assortment. One quick and easy variation is to knead brown sugar and cinnamon into some of the scone dough. The resulting scones are reminiscent of cinnamon rolls and can be enjoyed plain or with jam.
