Fruit Cocktail Cake (3 Ingredient)

June 18, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’m all about simplifying recipes without compromising taste. That's why I’m excited to introduce our three-ingredient fruit cocktail cake, a delightful treat that is as delicious as it is effortless to make. By combining a can of fruit cocktail, a box of yellow cake mix, and eggs, you can create a moist and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion.

The best part is that this cake is made without any oil or butter added, which means that it’s bit more healthy than it would be otherwise. I decided to go with a bundt pan and to avoid any frosting just because it wasn’t really needed here…

Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits

Homemade biscuits are a classic comfort food that many of us grew up with. I decided to add a twist to them today with bacon, cheese, and some apple too! Nothing beats the warm, flaky goodness that comes from a fresh batch straight out of the oven. Fortunately, making biscuits from scratch is a simple process that can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced bakers alike.

These Bacon Apple Cheddar Biscuits are delicious on their own, but they can also be served with a variety of toppings. Some options include scrambled eggs, bacon, ham, or cooked veggies. Consider serving biscuits with sausage gravy or alongside breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. I turned mine into a breakfast sandwich!…

Healthy Blender Brownies

I’ve made healthy brownies in the past, but never quite like this. These Healthy Blender Brownies take it to the next level with all the ingredients easily being tossed into a blender and purred down into a smooth batter that you then bake and enjoy. Yep. That’s it. No bowl required for this one. Just a blender (or food processor) and the baking dish.

I used quick oats in mine, but I think regular old-fashioned oats would work just as well in these brownies. They bake up into a light brownie that’s just fudge enough for my liking without being overly wet or dense. I find that the more cakey brownies tend to be better for brownie sundaes anyway since they can soak up the ice cream goodness…

Pineapple Upside-Down Blended & Baked Oats

May 25, 2023 Amanda Plott

I’ve made blended oats in the past and they always turn out really well. Honestly, I’m not sure why I don’t make them more often than I do because they’re so simple, healthy, and easy to make. These Pineapple Upside-Down Blended & Baked Oats basically merge blended oats with a pineapple upside down cake. So you get to have your cake and eat it too.

This breakfast treat starts out with brown sugar, pineapple, and a cherry on the bottom, then you layer on the pineapple infused blended on, and another layer of brown sugar, pineapple, and cherry. Then you bake it all together and come out with this tasty breakfast that’s sure to impress!…

2 Ingredient Cookies

May 13, 2023 Amanda Plott

I didn’t think it could be done, but yes - cookies can be made with a mere two ingredients. These 2 Ingredient Cookies are super east to make, because it’s just two ingredients, and they’re great as a snack, or even for part of a breakfast or lunch. So what are the two ingredients? Oats and banana. The oats do need to be quick oats and the banana has to be overly ripe. Other than that? There’s nothing more to them!

There aren’t any tricks to these cookies. They do end up being vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, low fat, and bunch of other things that make them into not only one easy cookie, but a healthy one too. I’ve been enjoying mine as part of my lunch with apple slices, peanut butter, and some other snacks treats…
