Eggnog Pancakes

What’s better than waking up to pancakes for the Holidays! I swapped out the milk in my whole wheat pancake recipe and replaced it with Silk Nog and some extra nutmeg for a fun Holiday twist.

Why Silk nog? I checked the labels of all the eggnogs available in the supermarket, and Silk Nog had the cleanest ingredients, and only 90 calories per serving. It’s also non-GMO, and perfect if you are lactose intolerant. If you like another brand of light eggnog, you can certainly use it in it’s place. I topped mine with a little honey and powdered sugar, but you can use maple, agave or your favorite toppings.

Today I am giving away this cute Holiday pancake set from Nordic, available at Target^[1], so head on over to Skinny Bits^[2] for a chance to win!

Chocolate-Cherry Blondies

by Pam on October 1, 2012

I found this recipe in a recent Everyday Food that looked perfect for my kids. I adapted it a bit by halving the recipe, using some whole wheat flour, and mini chocolate chips because that is what I had on hand. My family likes then under cooked a bit so they are gooey. If your prefer them fully cooked then add a couple of minutes to the cooking time. They turned out to be a huge hit for their after school snack and both kids gobbled their blondie up in seconds. They said they really loved the tart cherries with the rich chocolate… I have a feeling my husband is really going to love them too.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8×8 glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Combine the flour with the baking soda and salt then mix well.

Using a mixer, beat the sugars together with the butter until creamy and smooth. Add the egg and vanilla then beat until mixed thoroughly. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined. Add the cherries and chocolate chips and mix. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Place into the oven and bake for 28 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy.

Roasted Strawberry Banana Bread

This banana bread is moist and delicious, made with white whole wheat flour, sweet roasted strawberries and ripe bananas, with just a smidgen of butter, so you can enjoy a slice without the guilt!

I had some bananas that were getting brown and I was really in the mood for banana bread, so I combined the two for a delicious quick bread. You can turn these into muffins if you prefer. In the past I attempted this recipe, but the strawberries released too much liquid which made the bread a little too moist. Roasting the strawberries is the perfect solution, most of the liquid dries out from roasting so you get the flavor of the strawberries in every bite.
