I made these muffins for breakfast on Thanksgiving, and my family devoured the first batch so quickly that I made a second batch. These are tender and toothsome. The cranberries are bright, tart bursts surrounded by just sweet enough crumb. The oats and walnuts keep them chewy and filling. I used chopped black walnuts thatRead more
My favorite Finn, who introduced me to Finnish Oven Pancakes, makes fantastic Finnish Cinnamon Rolls. These rolls are delicate and lightly sweetened, the dough is spiced with cardamom and the middle is spread with cinnamon. While these aren’t nearly as sweet or decadent as your typical American sticky buns, they’re light and doughy and utterlyRead more
Do you ever have food phases (technically called “food jags”)? I occasionally go through phases, especially with breakfast. Like the baked oatmeal phase (pumpkin, banana, apple, strawberry-banana, cranberry apple pecan, banana walnut, zucchini) and I also went through many months of fruit/yogurt/granola for breakfast. Recently, however, I’ve been uninspired by breakfast. I have a fewRead more
I love breakfast foods, but I recognize that most of the time there’s just not nearly enough time in a week to have a leisurely sit-down breakfast at home. And fortunately, these cookies are satisfying and delicious enough for the breakfast-lovers, but portable and convenient enough for the busy person. Cook up a batch ofRead more
We’ve been getting an abundance of zucchini and summer squash from our CSA. It’s been a challenge to keep up with them all! But this recipe is definitely going to be one of my new favorite ways to use it. I love zucchini bread, and this baked oatmeal takes all the great flavors from zucchiniRead more
I’m a big. fan. of. pancakes., but sometimes you want something a little lighter for breakfast. This Finnish oven pancake is perfect for that. It kind of tastes like a cross between a crepe and a Dutch Baby. It’s kind of eggy and very tender. It puffs up just like a Dutch Baby, but doesn’tRead more
I don’t usually make muffins because they tend to be a bit indulgent, but aren’t quite indulgent enough to feel like a dessert. Well, these muffins are the perfect solution. I loved these because they’re just the right amount of sweet and are full of good-for-you ingredients. These muffins are perfect for breakfast with theirRead more
I’ve been getting tons of zucchini and summer squash from my CSA. It’s a challenge to keep up with them all, but these muffins are definitely going to be made again. After my cousins came over for an impromptu sleepover, I made these in the morning to give them a healthy treat for breakfast. EveryoneRead more
I made these waffles at the same time I was making the savory cheddar scallion waffles. I had a ton of ripe bananas and figured that if I was getting out the waffle iron I might as well get twice the use out of it. I don’t frequently get to try new things with myRead more
It’s always great to find another use for a waffle iron, and these savory waffles are fantastic! I made these for brunch this past weekend, and while my friends were dubious about savory waffles, they were convinced by these. They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with salty cheese and bright scallions throughout.Read more
