Gingerbread Waffles

December 13, 2021 Amanda Plott

I’ve been using the hell out of waffle maker ever since I got it. I’m sort of in love with the idea of making everything into a waffle at this point, and gingerbread was not about to escape! These Gingerbread Waffles are easy to make with the help of some waffle mix, molasses, and gingerbread spices to boot. They are perfectly gingerbread flavored without being over powering and make for the best festive breakfast option during the holidays!

Being as these are made with a mix, the only thing you can really do here to lighten them up is potion control. My waffle iron makes big giant Belgian style waffles that take a full cup of batter to make. I was able to get 4 large waffles out of what I made and half of one of these waffles is plenty for me…

Gingerbread Cobbler

Sometimes you just have to shake dessert up. This holiday season would be the great time to start a new tradition. Instead of the usual pies and cookies, why not try out this Gingerbread Cobbler! This Gingerbread Cobbler is very similar to my Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cobbler, but more in line with Christmas or New Years than Thanksgiving!

Cobbler just seems like the perfect winter dessert. It’s warm, gooey, and filling too. My mom seems to think that this cobbler is like those old fashioned pudding cakes where you layer the batter on the bottom of the pan and pour hot liquid on top to bake. While baking, the cake bubbles up to the top and the gooey pudding cobbler goodness is on the bottom…

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Men Cookies

Tis the season… for cookies! It came to me suddenly the other day that I had never shared an actual gingerbread cookie recipe. I’ve done chocolate ginger cookies and butterscotch ginger. But, never actually gingerbread GINGERBREAD cookies.

These Whole Wheat Gingerbread Men are just that. WHOLE WHEAT gingerbread men cookies. I decided not to lighten them up with any sugar substitutes or any of my usual shenanigans. I wanted to keep these cookies simple and classic. Besides… the whole wheat part makes them a little less naughty and a little more nice…

Skinny Gingerbread Granola

‘Tis the season. …Gingerbread season, that is!

Gingerbread is the spice of life, especially as we get closer to Christmas and the New Year. I took a leap of faith last week and ordered some vegan almond ‘egg nog’ from one of my favorite almond milk creators. They’re local here to me in Austin Texas, and while I like the flavor of egg nog… raw egg in my drink sorta… freaks me out a little bit.

So with my vegan almond milk in hand, I decided that I needed some granola to go with it. I’ve made a lot of granola lately. Most of them have been keto-friendly, grain-free, gluten-free, and the like. This one though? This one is more of a traditional oat granola. Though, it’s east enough to make it gluten-free!…

Skinny 'Starbucks' Gingerbread Loaf

November 28, 2017 Amanda Plott

It's been a hot minute since I posted a take-out fake-out, and it's about time that I made one that was more of a breakfast or dessert. Now that pumpkin spice season is over, it's all about sugar cookies, gingerbread, and eggnog. So... here we go!

The idea for this Gingerbread Loaf comes straight from Starbucks. Let's face it, they have some of the most indulgent and tasty breakfast treats that you'll come across. But, when you're trying to save a buck or a few pounds, those numbers are scary and staggering...
