Breakfast

Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oatmeal Bowls

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

My kitchen smells amazing right now! I wish we could do a little scratch and sniff so you could smell it but I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it, and maybe go make yourself some of these peanut butter cup baked oatmeal bowls. Baked oatmeal has become a weekly thing here since school started. It’s something different to have for breakfast, and a little more healthier than some options.

These are simple enough to make, enough so that you make make them quickly in the morning before your kids get up in the morning, or in the evening before bed to be ready first thing in the morning. They took me about 5 minutes to throw together. And that’s all you do to make these, throw all the ingredients into a bowl, mix and then divide into your ramekins.

What you need:

  • 2 c instant oats
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 c unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 1/4 c honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp cocoa
  • 1/3 c peanut butter

What you do to make Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oatmeal Bowls:

  1. Mix everything together in a bowl.
  2. Divide between 4 ramekins.
  3. Bake at 380 for 20 minutes.
  4. Optional: add spoonful of peanut butter to the top once cooled.

I got 4 of these out of this recipe which was just what we needed. They are super filling! And tasty of course. Bake at 380. Once mine cooled down, I dropped a spoon full of peanut butter on the top. Just a little, and it only melted a little. Perfection.

And the perfect way to get your child who claims she hates oatmeal to eat a filling breakfast before starting school. Momma knows how to work these kids yet.

Amish Cinnamon Bread

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

My kids are predictable when it comes to their breakfast choices. One wants bread (not toasted of course!) with peanut butter and the other two want oatmeal, everyday. So making something like this Amish Cinnamon Bread for breakfast is a delicious treat and a big change in our house.

We actually tend to call Sundays big breakfast day here because we try to have more than just the normal. Like the Amish cinnamon bread, or maybe some egg boats, waffles, or maybe just something as simple as a side of bacon.

Cinnamon Bread Recipe

Now this recipe makes two loafs, so before you get started make sure you have two loaf pans. I have the regular ol’ metal ones, but I am looking to trade them on up for some silicone ones, because the water here sucks and ruins everything.

What you need:

For the bread:

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups milk plus 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

For the cinnamon and sugar:

  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

How to make Amish Cinnamon Bread:

You are going to mix together the bread ingredients. Mix well. It is not going to be a bread dough consistency, it will be more like cake batter.

You will now pour half the batter into the two bread pans, so 1/4 of the batter into each.

Now sprinkle the same amount of cinnamon sugar over each loaf.

Add the remaining batter to each of the pans. Add the remaining cinnamon sugar to the loafs. You can take a butter knife to swirl the cinnamon sugar a bit.

Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool for about 20 minutes or so before removing from the pan and cutting.

This is a breakfast that my kids are now begging me to make. Of course it’s full of sugar so why wouldn’t they love?! I don’t make this often because it is a little time consuming, and full of sugar but it makes a nice treat once in awhile for birthdays or holidays.

Edit it to add: I have upgraded we’ll say to silicone bread loaf pans. I LOVE them. We use them for making this Amish cinnamon bread, for making sandwich bread, and for making meatloaf in. They are easy to clean and easy to store.

Mini Pancake Cups for Breakfast

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

Some mornings just call for something different, something special to start the day off, so you make some pancakes, or mini pancake cups. Or maybe you just ran out of bread and oatmeal the day before you get groceries like us, and you have to make something to feed your children. Which is what happened to me this morning, just gotta feed the kids, anything that I could make before they started eating me!

Isn’t it funny how your kids will eat something like they were straving when you just change one little thing like the shape of it. That’s how it was with these pancake cups. Not that they don’t usually eat pancakes like crazy too, but these barely touched their plates before they were gone.

The reason for the mini pancakes would be because I’m horrible for standing at the frying pan and not burning the pancakes, plus these are done just that much faster. I made a double batch which gave me 22 muffins.

What you need:

  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to make Mini Pancake Cups

  1. Mix together your egg, butter, vanilla, and baking powder together. Then alternate adding flour and milk to the mix.
  2. In a greased muffin tin add your pancake batter, filling your cups about 3/4 full.
  3. I topped some with chocolate chips and some with blueberries. You could also add them right into the batter, which my kids would have preferred I think.
  4. Bake for about 15 minutes, they will be slightly golden, bouncy to the touch.
  5. After baking, let them sit for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Ours fall out of the tin, when I tipped it slightly, and actually bounced across the counter.
