Healthy Blender Brownies

May 28, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’ve made healthy brownies in the past, but never quite like this. These Healthy Blender Brownies take it to the next level with all the ingredients easily being tossed into a blender and purred down into a smooth batter that you then bake and enjoy. Yep. That’s it. No bowl required for this one. Just a blender (or food processor) and the baking dish.

I used quick oats in mine, but I think regular old-fashioned oats would work just as well in these brownies. They bake up into a light brownie that’s just fudge enough for my liking without being overly wet or dense. I find that the more cakey brownies tend to be better for brownie sundaes anyway since they can soak up the ice cream goodness…

Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa

This is an old one, but a good one. This Blender Salsa is tried and true and was one of the very first recipes that I ever posted here way back in 2013! It’s been a good long time since I made this salsa, and being as I managed to get my hands on a bunch of canned tomatoes… and a lot of us are surviving on pantry staples, I thought there was no better time than now to make this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa again.

Originally I came up with this Healthified Restaurant Style Salsa for a family member who wanted one similar to what you’ll find at a chain restaurant that’s known for it’s peppery name…

Skinny Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole (With Blender Hollandaise)

December 12, 2019 Amanda Plott

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say. And I tend to agree. If you start your day off right with a nice breakfast, the rest of the day tends to follow suit. One of my all time favorite breakfast (or brunch) items is eggs benedict. A simple breakfast bite with english muffins, eggs, and hollandaise sauce. However, with the holidays coming up, I tend to gravitate towards casseroles.

So, why not turn a classic breakfast dish into a casserole? This Skinny Overnight Eggs Benedict Casserole is really simple to make and is pretty similar to a strata or a quiche. The only difference really is the use of english muffins and the added hollandaise sauce…

Gluten-Free Protein Pancakes

May 14, 2016 Amanda Plott

To say that this week has been crazy, would be an understatement of epic proportions. With the school year coming to a close, getting things in order for school next year, my daughter being in two upcoming dance recitals, and the usual round of summer birthdays coming about, and my downstairs floor being replaced today, I'm just about to my limit.

One thing that did make this week more easy was having these wonderful protein packed pancakes ready to go for breakfast in the morning. Not only did they keep me full and satisfied to get through the craziness of the week, but they also tasted amazing.

I had to do a lot of my cooking ahead of time since my stove is currently out in the garage. Everything had to be up off the floor for it to be replaced. Like I said... madness is my life right now, hah!...
