Breakfast/5 recipes

So much healthier than deep-fried, these are baked in a non-stick donut baking pan.

Berry teatime muffins with rolled oats, brown sugar, and fresh or frozen blueberries or raspberries. Hearty, lightly sweet, and quick. Bake as standard muffins or mini muffins for tea service.

Honey and whole wheat waffles with folded-in egg whites for an airy crisp finish. A nutty, lightly sweet breakfast that beats anything from a box mix.

Sorghum griddle cakes are fluffy gluten-free and dairy-free pancakes made with nutty sorghum flour and a starch for lift. No milk needed, and the batter thins to any consistency you like.

Oven-baked whole wheat pancakes ladled onto hot buttered sheet pans for hands-off cooking, no flipping required. A high-fiber buttermilk batter ready in 15 minutes. Serve with fruit and syrup.

Sourdough pancakes from an active whole wheat starter, with baking soda stirred in for tang and a tall, fluffy rise. The weekend way to put your bubbling starter to good use.

Our family loves banana muffins. I frequently make a batch of these for quick and easy grab n' go breakfasts during the week.

Double orange muffins flavored with both fresh orange juice and grated orange zest. Tender, lightly sweet quick breads with bright citrus flavor in every bite.

Old-fashioned fluffy pancakes made with lard for extra-tender, crispy-edged stacks. Seven ingredient batter that comes together in ten minutes for breakfast or brunch.

Super blueberry muffins, packed with two full cups of fresh berries for maximum fruit-in-every-bite. A simple one-bowl recipe ready in 20 minutes for breakfast or snacking.

Super easy pancakes from a baking mix, an egg, milk, and a touch of sugar, cooked golden and fluffy on a hot griddle. A fast, foolproof breakfast ready in minutes. Stack them with berries and maple syrup.

German oven pancake (Dutch baby) with a dramatic puffed shell, golden edges, and a fruit-filled center. Made with skim milk and egg substitute for a lighter version of the classic.

Apple spice muffins use grated fresh apple, apple juice concentrate, and warm cinnamon-allspice for natural sweetness. A lower-fat breakfast muffin with raisins and tender crumb.

Snack pumpkin muffins with pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and an optional sliced almond topping. Small-batch (4 muffins), ready in 35 minutes, perfect for a single serving or two cookies and tea.

Bakery-style blueberry muffins with nutmeg sugar topping. Three flours, butter, and buttermilk give a tender crumb and tall domed tops crowned with crackly spiced sugar.

Cheesy polenta topped with eggs and a bit of Italian or Turkey sausage, perfect for a Sunday brunch. Any cheese could be used but my favorite is Fontina or an old flavor filled cheddar. Similar to sausage, eggs and potato but much healthier with perfect matching of flavors. Very easy to halve the recipe along with pictures.
