Cornbread Mini Donuts

Like most of the country, we've been stuck in a rainy, cold and miserable weather pattern for a while. I found myself craving chili yesterday, and wanted some kind of cornbread/muffin to go with it. I found this recipe on Cooking with My Kid and couldn't wait to give it a try in my mini donut pans.

I made no changes to the recipe, though I may have sprayed my pans with Pam if I hadn't run out. I softened some butter in the microwave and added some local honey to it, then dipped the donuts into it like a glaze :) I got exactly 24 donuts, and Jake & I just loved them. Next time I'm planning on added minced jalapeno to half the batch, and maybe swapping out the lemon juice for lime.

Cornbread Donut Recipe

Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
     2/3           cup yellow cornmeal
     1/3           cup all purpose flour
     3/4      teaspoon baking powder
     3/4      teaspoon baking soda
1              pinch salt
1                     egg (lightly beaten)
1          container non fat yogurt -- (6 oz)
1         tablespoon canola oil
2          teaspoons lemon juice
3        tablespoons granulated sugar -- added with the liquid ingredients
2        tablespoons butter (melted) -- (2 to 3)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients. In another bowl stir together oil, lemon juice, egg and yogurt. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the hole. Gently fold everything together until combined. Use a teaspoon to dribble a small pool of butter in each cavity of the donut pan. Place half the batter in a small zip baggie and seal it. Cut a small hole in the corner of the baggie and pipe batter into the donut cavities on top of the butter. Only fill each cavity 1/2 way and before baking be sure to clean off any stray dough around the circle so there’s a hole in the middle of the donut. If making mini donuts, bake for 4 or 5 minutes. If baking regular sized donuts cook fro 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for a moment and then flip over onto a cooling rack while still warm.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Lemon Pizzelles

One of the first cookies I can remember eating is a pizzelle, and I'm still a huge fan today. Even though you need a special iron to make them, the rest of it is really so simple. This time around I took the basic pizzelle recipe and instead of vanilla or anise, I used Adams lemon extract. I also used some of their yellow food coloring to distinguish them from my regular pizzelle.
