May 18, 2020 Amanda Plott

Another day, another dessert! This sweet treat is a nod to Cherry Pop-Tarts with it’s light pink frosting, red sugar sprinkles, and cherry filling. It’s truly one of the most delicious cherry cakes that I’ve ever put in my mouth. And that’s saying a lot!

While this cake is perfect as a dessert, it could also be enjoyed for breakfast. How do I know that? It’s what I had today for breakfast. Since it’s in the shape of a bundt… that makes it technically like a coffee cake, right? Sure. Let’s go with that…

Everyone is all into banana bread right now. And I’m over here like… normal banana bread can be boring. Let’s jazz it up a bit with something extra special. Peanut butter and chocolate. Hell. Yes. This Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread is about ad decadent seeming as banana bread can come. The batter is made with a touch of peanut butter and then mini peanut butter cups are mixed in for added amazingness.

The batter itself is lightened up by way of plenty of mashed banana and some greek yogurt too. There’s also no actual sugar used in this bread. It’s made with natural sweeteners and blends. The end result is a light, fluffy, rich and delicious breakfast bite that is sure to impress…

Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars

May 4, 2020 Amanda Plott

These Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars are a take on a raspberry version that I made a while back. Spring time always gets me into a lemon and blueberry mode, I’m not really sure why. Maybe it’s because blueberries are more in season and you can find packs of fresh big beautiful ones. Either way, these Whole Wheat Blueberry Oat Bars are easy to make and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert!

Unlike the blueberry oat bars I’ve made before, these ones are thick and hearty. Less of a snack and more along the lines of being used as part of meal, unless you cut each of the 16 bars in half again…

There’s something to be said about the state of things right now. On one hand, our world is in chaos, and on the other… we’re all being forced to slow down. To take time to enjoy the little things that we’ve all been far too busy to enjoy. Right now is a time for reflection, family, and… baking! There’s nothing that’s more comforting than a warm, fresh baked, homemade cookie. And one of my favorite cookie treats from my childhood was for sure Oatmeal Cream Pies.

These Oatmeal Cream Pies are made from scratch with some pantry and fridge staples. They’re straight forward and easy to make while also being delicious and made just a bit better-for-you with a few simple swaps…

Cinnamon Raisin Bread (Bread Machine)

April 25, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been taking the time lately to bake my little heart out. Baking has always been my weakest point, so I figured there was no time like the present to start working on that. One of the biggest steps I made in this was getting my hands on a new bread machine. I’ve found that access to a machine to do most of the hands on parts of making bread dough has eased my fears.

This Cinnamon Raisin Bread is perfect as part of a wholesome breakfast. With allowing the machine to do most of the work and only a few minutes of actual hands-on time, this bread is a great guilt-free way to feel like you’re indulging a bit…
