Keto Lemon Loaf Recipe with Sweet Glaze

By 1 Comment

This Keto Lemon Loaf will satisfy your craving without abandoning your keto diet goals. Soft and moist, this low-carb lemon bread is full of flavor without being full of carbs.

Whether you are enjoying this for dessert or breakfast, this delicious treat will remind you of your favorite coffeehouse iced lemon loaf. This lemon pound cake is also gluten-free and grain-free as well as of course, sugar-free.

This recipe is similar to my lemon blueberry bread but instead of blueberries, I added a super sweet lemon glaze to give it even more of a kick. You can also add cream cheese to the delicious glaze to make it more of a frosting.

Keto lemon pound cake recipe is one of my favorite keto desserts because it uses simple ingredients that can be found at any grocery store. Perfect for lemon lovers and those on the ketogenic diet, this one is a crowd favorite.

I made this recipe using my favorite almond flour but you can also make it with coconut flour. In fact, coconut flour is a bit lower in carbs than almond flour and gives a bit lighter texture. Coconut flour should be substituted 3:1 to almond flour - and make sure to not pack either flour when measuring.

This is one of my favorite keto recipes that everyone loves - even friends who are not counting carbs. It is a great dessert to take to parties as you can use a mini loaf pan to make bite-sized sweets to share.

This lemony keto pound cake recipe has a light lemon flavor, but you can increase the flavor by adding 2 tablespoons of real lemon juice (which has only 1 carb per tablespoon) or an additional teaspoon of lemon extract. I personally like the taste of extracts, so I use them most often in my baking.

I also prefer almond extract to vanilla extract as I feel like it gives a bolder flavor that is less sweet. In fact, most of my keto cakes use almond extract.

Monk fruit is my preferred sugar substitute as I find it does not have the minty cooling effect that some keto sweeteners have. Plus monk fruit is rated a zero on the glycemic index and has zero carbs and zero calories. Monk fruit can be up to 300x sweeter than sugar, but you can find 1:1 ratio monk fruit at most stores. I prefer Lakanto monk fruit, but you can also use brands like Swerve and Pyure.

To make this recipe dairy-free, swap the melted butter for melted coconut oil. You can also make this a banana loaf simply by swapping the lemon extract for banana extract and leaving out the zest! Add in a tablespoon of poppy seeds to make it a keto lemon poppy seed bread! This is such a deliciously versatile recipe the whole family will love!

MACROS

According to Nutritionix, each slice of this Keto Lemon Loaf Cake has 165 calories, 14 g fat, 5 g protein, 6 total carbs, 2 g fiber, and 4 net carbs.

Keto French Toast Bites

By 1 Comment

These Keto French Toast Bites have a bit of sweetness and a bit of savory in every bite. They are the perfect Keto Breakfast Appetizer perfect for staying on track!

womand hand grabbing keto french toast bite with toothpick

The Keto Egg Loaf is a perfect low carb breakfast with also perfect macros. I used my Egg Loaf Recipe for the base of these delicious little breakfast bites and it worked out perfectly.

These Keto French Toast Bites bring together the sweetness of the Egg Loaf and the savoriness of the bacon for the perfect bite every time. Top with fresh blueberries for an added treat.

I used a Mini Brownie Pan from Pampered Chef to make these, but any small muffin tin will work. Remember that the Egg Loaf expands really high while it cooks, and then settles back to normal as it cools.

These Bite Sized Breakfast treats are great for holiday parties, office parties, and other social events where you want to have a keto friendly finger food that everyone will love.

What is the best Keto Sweetener to use for Keto French Toast Bites?

Finding your favorite keto sweetener is a personal preference, but my favorite is Lakanto Monk Fruit Granulated. You can also use Swerve Granulated or Pyure but some experience a minty after taste.

Can I make Keto French Toast Bites ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the french toast portion ahead of time and easily reheat by covering bites with a damp paper towel and microwaving in 20-second increments until the desired temperature. It is best to assemble the bites right before eating.

Can I freeze Keto French Toast Bites?

Yes, you can freeze the french toast portion in an airtight container and reheat it in the microwave. Wrap in a damp paper towel and heat in 30-second increments at 50% power.

Keto Banana Muffins with Walnuts

By 1 Comment

Keto Banana Muffins with Walnuts are what low carb breakfast dreams are made of! Soft and sweet and so full of flavor - but not carbs - you will never believe these are sugar-free! These keto muffins stay moist and are easily reheated in the microwave or toaster oven for breakfast on the go. Made with simple ingredients, these healthy banana muffins are ready in less than 30 minutes and will be loved by everyone.

[feast_advanced_jump_to]

I am not sure there is anything better than coffee and a hot banana nut muffin for breakfast - but a typical banana muffin can have nearly 30 grams of sugar in one little muffin!

I tried a couple of recipes for low-carb banana muffins, but oftentimes they would be so dry, no amount of melted butter could save them. I started experimenting with ingredients and what I learned from making keto blueberry muffins and after several failed attempts I finally came up with the perfect keto banana muffins with walnuts... and we have enjoyed them nearly every day since!

If you are looking for the best-premade keto banana muffins, these Smart Bakery Muffins from Amazon are absolutely delicious. I keep them in the freezer and microwave for just 30 seconds for the perfect healthy muffin.

You can also use this exact recipe to make a loaf of keto banana bread! Whether you bake a loaf or muffins, these easy almond flour banana muffins will keep you on track with your goals while keeping you full and satisfied all morning long.

Ingredients

First, make sure you have all of your ingredients together. With this recipe, specific brands do not seem to matter like they do in other keto recipes. Scroll to the recipe card for exact measurements.

This recipe uses banana extract instead of real bananas to keep the carb count low. Banana extract gives these low carb banana muffins a great banana flavoring without the carbs from actual bananas.

  • blanched almond flour
  • baking powder
  • pink salt
  • granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • eggs
  • sour cream
  • vanilla extract
  • banana extract
  • fresh walnuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400* and place liners in a muffin tin.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together all dry ingredients - almond flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated monk fruit.

Mix in wet ingredients - eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and banana extract until well combined.

Fold in chopped walnuts, saving some to sprinkle on top.

Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, divide batter into muffin liners and fill muffin cups about half full. Keto banana muffins will rise slightly.

Sprinkle walnuts on top.

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool and enjoy!

Equipment

Let me also say if you have not begun using silicon muffin liners, these little things are a game-changer. While you are supposed to eat plenty of fat while on the keto diet, I do not want to use macros to make sure my muffins do not stick!

I grabbed this set of silicon liners off Amazon and have used them dozens of times with no problem! I just rinse them in warm soapy water after each use and they are ready to go next time I bake!

I have also used this super cute silicon muffin pan - but make sure to set it on top of a cookie sheet for stability.

Tips & FAQs

How do you store keto banana muffins?

Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Since there are no preservatives, muffins will go bad quickly.

Can you freeze keto banana nut muffins?

Absolutely! To reheat simply wrap the muffin in a damp paper towel and heat for 20 seconds. Let sit additional 20 seconds before eating.

What sweeteners can I use for Keto Banana Muffins?

My favorite keto sweetener is Lakanto Granulated Monk Fruit - it has a good sweet taste without the cooling sensation of many keto sweeteners. You can also use granulated Stevia or Granulated Swerve.

Nutrition and Macros

As with all keto recipes you want to measure and calculate your own ingredients. According to Nutritionix, when I put in my exact ingredients it came up with the following macros. Each Keto Banana Muffin with Walnuts has 156 calories, 13 grams of fat, 6 grams of total carbs, 2 grams of net carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.

Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting

By 1 Comment

These Keto Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting are everything you love about Fall in every delicious bite. Super simple to make - these will be a crowd favorite for sure!

close up keto pumpkin muffin with cream cheese icing

These Keto Pumpkin Muffins are dense, heavy muffins with tons of flavor. They are super filling while still having great macros, so they make the perfect keto breakfast that will keep you fuller, longer.

I have been pairing one low carb pumpkin muffin with a bulletproof coffee to really kickstart my morning on the right foot.

womans hand piping frosting on a low carb pumpkin muffin

I think the secret ingredient for these muffins is the almond extract. I feel like it is an undervalued flavor! The almond extract with the almond flour gives the perfect flavor for this Fall treat.

Also I used Lakanto Granulated Monkfruit for both the muffins and the frosting and it turned out perfectly. Unlike some other keto sweeteners, I find that monkfruit does not have the cooling sensation, so it is my preferred baking sweetener.

You can order the exact monkfruit sweetener I used by visiting this link and use the code LYNSEY to save 10% on your order.

Keto Pumpkin Spice Egg Loaf is everything you love about Fall in a delicious low carb treat. Perfect with coffee for breakfast or even as an after-dinner dessert, this sweet and savory egg loaf is a crowd favorite.

It is PUMPKIN SPICE SEASON! Well, almost.. but with the way 2020 is going I am already ready to put up my Christmas tree and start singing carols by a fire.

I have loved my Keto French Toast Egg Loaf so much over the last few weeks, I knew I needed to make a Pumpkin Spice Egg Loaf to enjoy for the holidays.

womans hand pouring syrup on pumpkin egg loaf

This Pumpkin Spice Egg Loaf is everything you love about Fall with pumpkin and nutmeg and cinnamon. It is purposefully not too sweet, so that you can cover it in your favorite sugar-free syrup.

The Pumpkin Spice Egg Loaf does have a bit more carbs than the French Toast Egg Loaf, but they are still almost perfect macros to start your day off on the right foot.

close up of pumpkin spice egg loaf

One thing to make absolute sure of is that you get 100% pure pumpkin - not a pumpkin pie pumpkin which is loaded with sugar.

You can also puree your own pumpkin - simply roast fresh pumpkin slices until soft and then put in your favorite blender or food processor. Easy peasy.

keto blueberry muffins in rainbow liners

One thing I have missed since starting the keto lifestyle is muffins... especially blueberry muffins. There is just no better way to start the weekend than with hot buttery blueberry muffins!

I set out to make keto blueberry muffins that would cure my craving without blowing my macros, and I am so so excited to share that I have found it!

close up of low carb blueberry muffin in pink liner

I have made this recipe a couple of times now and finally found the perfect ratio of everything. I never knew almond flour blueberry muffins could be so tasty!

These keto muffins also stay good all week long, so I just keep them in the fridge and warm up for a perfect low carb breakfast any day of the week. Just wrap in a damp paper towel and heat for 30 seconds! Voila!

I have used both frozen blueberries and fresh blueberries and they both turn out just fine. The frozen blueberries do seem to "sink" into the batter a bit more.

You can also use almond extract or vanilla extract. I personally prefer the almond extract with Lakanto brown monk fruit. So delicious!

I also recommend using silicone baking cups like these that I found on amazon. The keto blueberry muffins pop right out and do not stick to the sides at all.

Slathered down with butter these keto blueberry muffins are a family favorite and the perfect way to start the day.

I have been seeing Keto Egg Loaf on Instagram for ages - no idea why it took me so long to make it.

You can change up the flavor of this egg loaf to make a variety of different breakfast options, but this traditional egg loaf has cinnamon and nutmeg for a sweet and savory french toast flavor.

Keto Egg Loaf is an easy low carb breakfast that takes just a few ingredients and almost zero skill to make. The ingredients you need are:

  • eggs
  • cream cheese
  • butter
  • sweetener of choice
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg

It really is as simple as blending all of the ingredients together and baking. It is also great to make ahead and eat on all week long.

One big thing to note - the egg loaf will rise - big time - as it cooks, so make sure your pan can handle it. As the egg loaf cools it will settle back down to the normal size, but you want to avoid spillage while it cooks.

Another note - the keto egg loaf itself is not super sweet... to allow for sugar-free syrup to be added. My favorite syrup is Cary's which is available on Amazon and at most supermarkets.

I used a Tablespoon of Pyure Stevia Blend which is the equivalent of 2 tablespoon sugar.

Keto Egg Loaf is a great make-ahead low carb breakfast that can be easily reheated in the microwave. Simply wrap desired slices in a dampened paper towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Before I started on the keto diet I was not a huge fan of breakfast food. Even as a little girl I just wasn't a huge fan of the "typical" breakfast... unless it was the tiny little silver dollar pancakes my Dad used to make.

Sirnie balls with keto sausages for breakfast are very popular among online casino players. Sirny Keto Sausage Balls do not contain any nut flour or carb and can be ordered and pay by phone bill online casino south africa in just two clicks. Sausage balls are also low in carbohydrates, which is suitable for online casino players who love sports.

However, since starting keto I have come to love breakfast foods - even at the weirdest time of the day.

That is mostly because of my recent obsession - these Keto Sausage Balls. Even better - they only take five ingredients! Can't beat that!

Now, I have seen recipes for these before - but they always used almond flour or coconut flour.

How to Make Them Low Carb

I was determined to come up with a Low Carb Sausage Balls Recipe that was lower in carbs than what I had found... and I am excited to say - I did it!

These little balls are so incredibly easy to make - and have a fraction of the carbs! By using grated parmesan instead of nut flours I have brought the carbs down while taking the flavor way up!

MACROS:

When I scanned everything into CarbManager - my favorite keto diet app - it came up that each one of these delicious little sausage balls has just one net carb!

The entire recipe makes 24 sausage balls, so I just choose how many I want to eat and voila! Counting carbs doesn't get much easier than that!

Not to mention these little guys stay moist when nut flours can easily dry them out. It is a total win-win!

If you use freshly grated cheese, it may pool at the bottom of the sausage ball. Simply let it cool a few minutes before lifting off the cookie sheet.

Like I mentioned in my Keto Lemon Blueberry Bread post, I am obsessed with keto baking right now. I have tried so many store-bought keto baked goods, and they all just miss the mark.

I absolutely love all things cinnamon and it is so good for you! I put cinnamon directly into my coffee when it brews and also add it to my Keto Apple Cider Detox Drink every morning! So tasty!

According to Healthline, cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants anti-inflammatory properties and can also improve insulin sensitivity - which is great for those living a ketogenic lifestyle. Cinnamon is even being studied for its effects on cancer!

Simple Keto Broccoli Crustless Quiche

By 4 Comments

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TeaProudly #CollectiveBias #TeaProbiotics

This Simple Crustless Quiche will start your day off right. Perfectly paired with new Bigelow Teas, this Ketogenic Quiche Recipe will be your new go-to favorite low carb breakfast.

crustless quiche

Mornings have always been my favorite time of day. Nothing makes me happier than getting up earlier than everyone else to have a few hours of solitude with a cup of my favorite hot beverage, a good healthy breakfast, and a good book. 

Recently I have started making this super simple Keto Broccoli Cheese Crustless Quiche at the start of the week and enjoying it all week long paired with my new favorite teas from Bigelow. It is the perfect way to start the day.

Bigelow has long been my favorite brand of tea. So much in fact that it is all that I use in the little coffee shop that I own. We "Tea Proudly" both at home and at Java Hut because it is the best-tasting tea at a great price!

Recently Walmart added two new delicious flavors which have helped me stay on track with my health goals this summer. They are Green Tea with Ginger Plus Probiotics and Lavender Chamomile Plus Probiotics. 

These two new flavors along with the original Lemon Ginger with Probiotics help support healthy digestion without compromising the delicious flavor Bigelow Tea is known for. 

One sip and you can tell the Bigelow family has carefully selected each ingredient and then combined them with Ganeden-BC30, an innovation that helps maintain a healthy balance in your digestive tract. 

One of the reasons why I love making quiche is because it is so versatile - you can make it with broccoli and cheese like this recipe, or just swap out the broccoli to make crustless spinach quiche!

You can also use this recipe in a muffin tin to make perfect little crustless quiche muffins! I use my brownie pan for perfect portion quiche! Hot tea and hot quiche = absolute perfection.

Quiche has a great savory flavor that pairs perfectly with all of the new Bigelow Tea flavors. I especially love the Bigelow Green Tea with Ginger plus Probiotics to start my day. 

You can get all of the ingredients you need for your Crustless Quiche Recipe from your local Walmart, and be sure to grab a couple boxes of Bigelow Teas to go with it! You can find Bigelow teas on the tea and coffee aisle:

By 1 Comment

This St Patrick's Day Breakfast is perfect for kids young and old who want to start their day with a touch of green and gold!

st patrick's day breakfast

I am a firm believer that we should celebrate every single holiday - no matter what. We never know how many of them we are going to get, so celebrating incessantly can never be a bad thing. After all, you can never have too much happiness, right?

My family has come to know this about me, so no one will be surprised when St Patrick's Day Breakfast is over the top. These adorable and delicious Shamrock Fried Eggs are sure to be a hit for even the pickiest of eaters.

I have to admit - I used to not like bell peppers at all. To be fair, I never really gave them a chance. My children, on the other hand, would eat them like an apple if I allowed it.

This breakfast is super easy and only a few ingredients - which I always have on hand anyway - makes it perfect for even fast-paced school mornings!

easy st patrick's day breakfast ideas

This is also a keto-friendly recipe, but you can make it a Whole30 Compliant Breakfast by using ghee or olive oil in place of the butter!

How cool is that?! You can also experiment with other seasonings and ingredients to added to change up the flavor.

shamrock eggs

Putting together these Shamrock Fried Eggs is super easy - simply slice your bell pepper horizontally and place in a hot frying pan. I use these tiny little cast iron skillets.

Flip once, then gently crack your egg in the center, add seasonings, cover, and let cook until the egg is cooked to your desired doneness. Voila!

You can then top your little "shamrock" with things like salsa, green onion, and/or cheese!  So simple and delicious - the sky is the limit on what you can do!

You have probably seen the memes about "that week between Christmas and New Years when you have no idea where you are, what you should be doing, or what day it is"... yeah, I am there.

Try as I might I have been struggling to get back on the health wagon after the last few weeks of holiday festivities - and it is starting to show.

I know that meal prepping is one of my biggest keys to success with keto - and really any eating plan - so I started with prepping breakfasts this week. I started with a family favorite - Simple Low Carb Breakfast Pizza.

You can also use low carb tortillas in place of the phyllo dough to make it even lower in carbs.

Delicious Low Carb Bagels

By 10 Comments

With the holidays upon us, I wanted to have some options for breakfast that would not derail my progress. I have seen Keto Bagels on Instagram and had to give them a try.

low carb bagel recipe

I absolutely love the ketogenic diet and have had great success since starting back in the beginning of 2017. While I was never much of a sweets person, there were a few things I often overindulged in - and have missed tremendously... one of them being bread.

I did not think I was that much of a bread person - until I stopped eating it! It was one of those mindless side dishes I always grabbed and never really thought about.

First, let me just say these do not have the exact texture or consistency of real bagels. They are a bit heavier but have much more flavor.

In the past I could easily polish off an entire bagel... with these, I can only eat half... especially once I cover it with butter and cream cheese... did I mention I love keto!?

The outsides get nice and crunchy while the inside stays soft - so perfect! You can even toast them to melt the cheese on top!

I plan to make a couple batches of these to keep in the freezer to pull out Christmas morning. Since everyone comes to our house and my family often asks about the keto diet, I think this is a perfect way to show them that you can just make a few modifications to the food you already love and still be successful. Total win-win!

Avocado Breakfast Bakes

By 3 Comments

These Avocado Breakfast Bakes are the perfect way to start your day. Full of flavor and healthy fats, they will keep you satisfied all morning long.

If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed I am a little bit obsessed with avocados. Since beginning Keto I have pretty much eaten an avocado every single day... and today I hit 30 pounds lost.

Now I am not saying that weight loss was solely from eating avocados, but I certainly think they have helped me to hit my macros and kept me full with good, healthy fat. One of the ways I love to enjoy avocados is a simple Avocado Breakfast Bake.

Looking For More Keto Recipes? Check out my entire Library Here.

There are lots of jokes about how to pick the perfectly ripe avocado - it seems like they are either way too ripe or they could double as a baseball because they are so hard.

That may be one of the reasons why I love baking them because it softens them up just perfectly! Then of course topping them with my other keto favorites - bacon and cheese - just makes everything better!

Is your mouth watering yet? These Breakfast Avocado Bakes are SO easy - and take just minutes to prepare. I can heat up the oven while I make my coffee and pop these in while I get all of the critters fed and laundry started.

They take seconds to put together and only 15 minutes to bake! I get a hot, delicious, low carb, high fat breakfast every morning! Total perfection!

You can also change these up by adding different seasonings. Pour on the sriracha for a spicy kick. Sprinkle with cumin for a Mexican flair.

Change up your cheese for a stronger flavor. Pile on the veggies for added fiber. The sky is the limit!

MACROS

I plugged this recipe into my favorite Keto Calculator App - Carb Manager - and it came up with the following macros:

Each serving of these Avocado Breakfast Bakes has 2 net carbs, 9 total carbs, 7 g fiber, 24 g fat, 9 g protein and 274 calories.

Nutrition calculations are based on exact ingredients used and may vary between brands. For exact macro measurements, always calculate your own macros using the exact ingredients that you use.

Ham, Cheese, and Bell Pepper Mini Quiche

By 2 Comments

Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche are a delicious and easy breakfast that is ready in minutes. Simple clean ingredients make this a healthy breakfast that is a crowd favorite.

hand and cheese mini quiche on a white plate

With school starting, have gotten a little bit obsessed with breakfast. It is the first time in years that I have not had a child that needed to be at school at some ridiculously early time of morning!

I now get to wake up leisurely, brew my coffee, and enjoy some alone time before I start waking everyone up for the day. Even with the extra time I have been looking for healthy breakfast ideas that are delicious and easy to make - and one of my standard "go tos" is quiche!

You can throw your favorite veggies together and voila! My current favorite - Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche!

ham and cheese mini quiche with bell pepper on a white plate

I have always loved cooking in muffin tins - like my Taco Cupcakes and Single Serve Lasagnas - so instead of making one big quiche, I prefer to make little ones in my muffin tin.

That way I can practice portion control since they are so tasty and Sami can grab one as she heads out the door for college. Using a premade pie crust it is easy peasy to whip up your favorite quiche in minutes for a hot, delicious, filling breakfast full of protein!

You can also add chopped broccoli or spinach in place of the bell peppers to completely change the taste! I have also made Mexican Style Quiche using peppers, onions, and a teaspoon of Cumin.

Quiche is a great way to use leftover veggies for breakfast! If you want a lower carb option you can use my Two Ingredient Cheese Crisps to make the "crust" for a Keto Friendly Quiche with tons of flavor!

Yield: 12

  4. Dice the bell pepper and layer evenly over the tops of the ham.
  5. Next, sprinkle over the cheese.

Healthy Banana Nut Pancakes

By 3 Comments

These Banana Nut Pancakes are a delicious way to start your day! Perfect simple school morning breakfast that is ready fast!

Midge started middle school this year and we are only a few weeks in - but she already LOVES it. She is so excited to be in Chorus this year and loves getting to change classes and see more of her friends every day.

I love that school does not start until 9am, meaning after six years of having to be at the bus stop at 6:40am, we now get to have a nice leisure morning and not leave the house until 8:30.

The best part about this - besides her getting to sleep in some - is that breakfast is no longer rushed, and I get to make her a quick, healthy breakfast every morning. Her current favorite - Banana Nut Pancakes.

I remember my Dad making me pancakes on the griddle every morning before school, so I am excited to carry on this fun tradition and hope she will remember it the way I do.

These pancakes are a bit different than the ones Dad used to make - but just as delicious. These are made with just a few ingredients and have a ton of rich flavor. Midge has always loved Banana Nut Bread, so I knew she would love these too.

These are also perfect for what to do with overly ripe bananas since the mushier they are - the easier they are to make into pancakes! And you can really add in all kinds of flavors to change up your pancakes!

We have added in cinnamon, nutmeg, and even a few chocolate chips! They always come out delicious in just a matter of a few minutes. Paired with eggs and bacon for protein these are the perfect sweet, healthy way to start your morning!

Blueberry Muffin Cake Pops

By 23 Comments

Blueberry Muffin Cake Pops are a quick and easy weekday breakfast idea for blueberry lovers young and old!

The closer we get to school starting, the more I am testing out my Baby Cakes Cake Pop Maker to see what kind of amazing FRESH breakfast goodies I can prepare in just 4 minutes flat!  (I have mentioned I love this machine, right?!) This week I put it to the test with one of my all time favorites - BLUEBERRY MUFFINS! With just two ingredients - and actually about 5 minutes - I was serving the girls hot, delicious Blueberry Muffin Pops!

Because of the little "blueberry bits" in the Martha White Blueberry Muffin Mix, I was worried I was going to end up with "crunchy" muffin pops.  So the first thing I did was crush all of the little "blueberries" into the batter to make it as smooth as possible.  This would prove to be futile later but it did make for some pretty purple-blue batter! I loaded my Baby Cakes Cake Pop Maker just like every other time - filling each little "hole" to just under the rim.  They begin to cook and rise quickly so fill fast!

I cooked my Blueberry Muffin Cake Pops for about three minutes - fearful they were going to burn. And though it looked great on the outside in three minutes, the inside told a different story. I left the rest of them in for another minute or so, and they turned out absolutely perfect!

The only downfall to making Blueberry Muffin Cake Pops... they are very hard to BUTTER!  🙂  I don't know if there is a way to mix butter into the batter... but you know I am going to try it! These turned out so well, I am certain that this will be a common breakfast here at the Moscato Household.   Every single one of these little pops - the mix makes about 30 - were gobbled up before they even had a chance to get cool.  Both girls - and the Hubby - just loved them.   And I admit, I even had a few of my own.

Just make this #3,482 reason I believe EVERYONE needs a Baby Cakes Cake Pop Maker....

In just a few weeks we will be celebrating one of my favorite holidays - Independence Day! Even though the girls are gone I still like to make something fun and delicious to kick off the holiday. I recently discovered this Wilton Donut Pan which makes donuts for breakfast super quick and easy! I found the Funfetti Stars & Stripes Cake Mix and knew it was the perfect mix for these Simple Patriotic Donuts. These were so tasty I think they will become a part of every patriotic holiday from now on!

The girls were happy that I made these early so they can take some with them to the river. Since these donuts are baked, they are easier to keep than fried donuts. You could even use the Babycakes Donut Maker for them! The Wilton White Candy Melts give the perfect flavor to the Funfetti Cake Mix and keep the sprinkles on just perfectly! These would be great to take to a party too! Look how easy!

I decided to go with a Blueberry Cheesecake Pancake for my pancake style. When I was a little girl my grandmother use to take me with her in the mornings to go "walk the mall" and there was this amazing little muffin shop that had blueberry cheesecake muffins that were absolutely one of the most amazing things you have ever tasted.

Even now twenty-some-odd years later I can remember just exactly how those muffins tasted! I knew with my base being Krusteaz Blueberry mix I had a good start - and after a few tries, I have created the most perfect fluffy, savory, sweet blueberry cheesecake pancakes you have ever had!

How To Cook The Perfect Omelette

By 1 Comment

Since I was a little girl I have always loved an omelet for breakfast in the morning. Every Saturday my Mom would make me a mushroom and cheese "omelet" for breakfast, and I have continued that tradition with my girls. The problem, though... is that I am using the term "omelet" really loosely. What we actually do is just scramble our veggies in with our eggs and call it an omelet... because well... I have never been able to actually form it into something that looks like a true omelet. That is until I received a Copper Chef Pan for review! Let's just say - I am an omelet making machine!

how to make a perfect omelette

The Copper Chef has become my go-to pan in my kitchen for every meal from breakfast to dinner. So much so that I have considered getting rid of every other pan I own. I can cook absolutely anything in it - from fried chicken to pot pies - to the perfect omelette! The Copper Chef can be used on any cooktop - and can even be put in the oven! The Copper Chef has CeramiTech non-stick coating so absolutely nothing sticks. I have had pans claim that before... only to have my eggs stick like crazy. The Copper Chef passed the ultimate test - and has made me perfect eggs every single time!

To me there is nothing better than an omelette stuffed with veggies like mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and spinach to really get your day started off on the right foot. With my health journey to be the best version of me, breakfast has become even more important. This morning in minutes I whipped up a delicious mushroom and cheddar cheese omelette for breakfast.

Breakfast Casserole Muffins Recipe

By 15 Comments

Every Sunday at church we have breakfast during Life Group after the service.  Last week I wanted to contribute with something MADE... instead of just running by the grocery store on the way to snag something from the bakery like I normally do.    I wanted something hot and nutritious... not just sugary.   I hopped online but could not find exactly what I was looking for.  So I just threw everything I wanted together and hoped for the best.  Thankfully, it was.

Our Life Group has about 30 people each week, so this recipe will yield exactly 36 muffins.   However, even if you are just cooking for your family, you can still make this recipe, as it is quick and easy, and they freeze and reheat perfectly!  This is another recipe that I will make over and over to give my girls a great nutritious breakfast before school!

Breakfast Casserole Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 12 eggs
  • 1 bag frozen hashbrowns, thawed
  • 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
  • fresh cooked bacon, crumbled

Scramble eggs in a bowl.  Add other ingredients, saving a handful of cheese to top with, and mix well.  Spoon into heavily greased muffin tins and sprinkle cheese on top.  Bake at 375* for 20 minutes or until eggs are done and potatoes and cheese are starting to brown.  Serve hot.

This recipe was a HUGE hit at Life Group and just about everyone asked for the recipe.  I love the idea of having a "breakfast muffin" with more substance than sugary bread.   It is the perfect size to heat up and take on the go, and is not messy like all of these ingredients would be on their own.

I am making breakfast for our Life Group again tomorrow... this time a little bit differently, but the same concept.  There was one thing missing from making this the "perfect all inclusive breakfast muffin"... check back tomorrow and see what it is! 🙂
