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!

Flax Egg

Flax eggs – like chia eggs – isn’t egg at all but rather a healthy egg substitute in vegan baking. A hen’s egg adds leavening (rising), binding, flavour and colour to a baked good where a flax egg or chia egg adds the binding but no rising of the batter. Flax eggs are best used in coffee cakes, pancakes, muffins and squares – baked goods that do not need a lot of rising.

Its consistency is a little denser, and why it has ‘muffin’ in its name. It’s utterly divine! It makes a delicious breakfast treat too!
