Here is a little something deliciously different for your breakfast! We all know overnight oats. This recipe is overnight quinoa that makes a wonderful, wholesome, nutritious breakfast bowl.

2 Hour Artisan Bread

Homemade bread is healthier as it doesn’t have the preservatives that commercial breads do and it saves you money making this bread yourself vs buying an artisan style loaf at the store.

If you are new to bread making, this is a great intro bread to start you off. It’s delicious! And quick! And there is no kneading required, just easy shaping (what this means is in the directions). You’ll be a artisan bread maker in no time!

Butternuts

The combination of shortbread, pecans, butterscotch chips and a rum extract flavoured icing makes a most delicious and impressive treat everyone will love.

Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Oat Squares (GF/DF)

I was inspired to make these squares as I had a jar of delicious hazelnut butter in the cupboard and thought it would be a nice change from peanut butter in baking. It looks like a lot of ingredients but it comes together quickly and the results are delicious. Don’t be tempted to bake them until they are really browned – they will be too crumbly that way. Enjoy these for breakfast, a energy boost snack or for dessert.

Banana Chocolate Fudge Loaf (GF/DF)

Another one-bowl, quick to make, delicious, nutritious loaf, gluten and dairy free, this time sweet (but not too sweet!). This healthy Banana Chocolate Fudge Loaf tastes rich and decadent and is a perfect slice for breakfast, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or with some coconut cream drizzled on top or with a scoop of ice cream for dessert.

Stone Fruit Crisp

My gluten and dairy free Stone Fruit Crisp is a medley of ground almonds, oats, warming spices, natural sweetener, nuts and coconut. Combine that goodness to top slices of ripe nectarines, peaches, plums or pitted cherries and bake to create a delicious and nutritious juicy fruit-bottomed, crispy-topping dessert. Leftovers are wonderful for breakfast the next morning!

Zucchini, Green Onion and Cheddar Loaf (GF)

A one-bowl, quick to make, delicious, nutritious, savory gluten free loaf that is the perfect taste balance of zucchini, onion and cheddar. Serve slices plain or toasted (toasted is so yum!) with soup, stew, top with avocado and tomato, melt extra cheese on top or make a tuna melt! This loaf recipe will be on repeat in our home!

Muffin In A Mug

A single serve muffin in a mug – ready in under 5 minutes! I love making overnight oats, but when I haven’t made them the night before, or if I want a warmer breakfast and a treat at the same time, I make this breakfast muffin in a mug! Make one for each person as no one will want to share!

Almond Butter Oatmeal Coffee Cake

A quick-made gluten free coffee cake made with almond butter and other healthy ingredients. It’s a perfect treat with a cup of coffee or tea and looks so pretty to present or to have on your counter. To be fancy, serve with a dollop of maple syrup sweetened yogurt!

Simple One Pan Make and Bake Oats

This is a great recipe for a fast, made in one baking pan, baked oats recipe for a nutritious breakfast. Like many of my recipes it takes minutes to put together and 20 minutes in the oven and then you have a delicious warm, cozy breakfast that is good year-round. I love oatmeal any time of year!

Date Slice

A delicious and nutritious gluten and dairy free loaf for breakfast or a snack. The dates are the star of this recipe and give the loaf just the right amount of sweetness. The strong coffee or brewed tea to soak the dates enhances with a delicious subtle flavour.

Quick and Easy Homemade Bagels

This recipe for fast and appetizing baking powder bagels uses either wheat or gluten free flour and has 5 simple ingredients – 6 if you add sesame seeds sprinkled on top before baking. My recipe uses dairy-based Greek yogurt which is higher in protein than regular yogurt, is a good source of calcium, vitamin B2 and B12, selenium as well as vitamin A, zinc and potassium. Plain Greek yogurt is low in carbs and has little sugar. The flavoured varieties have more sugar so eat those in moderation. These heavenly rings are delicious hot from the oven or next day plain or toasted. So. Very. Good.

One Bowl Sheet Pan Pancakes

How quick and easy these sheet pan pancakes are to make, and one bowl makes cleanup easy too. These pancakes bake in 15 minutes so you can have breakfast ready quickly. Plus, this dish saves standing by the stove to flip individual pancakes (I do love me some stacked pancakes too thought!). Customize these sheet pan pancakes however you like – berries in one area, chocolate chips in another, almond butter and banana in another and pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and coconut in another – as in the photos. What would you choose? What are your family’s favourites? Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup - delish!

Rolo Pretzles

OMG Can I tell you how super simple and easy this salty/sweet treat is. It has that crunch that we all crave! It would be such a fun and tasty activity to do with kids.

This recipe is one from the archives! I think we might have made this in HomeEc – ya, that’s how far back they go! These are so so good!
