Baked Gingerbread Mini Donuts

Baked Gingerbread Mini Donuts

Prep time:  5 mins 

Cook time:  10 mins 

Total time:  15 mins 

Serves: 12

Ingredients

For the donuts

•1 cup flour (I used white whole wheat)

•¾ teaspoon baking powder

•¼ teaspoon baking soda

•1 teaspoon cinnamon

•½ teaspoon ginger

•pinch of allspice

•pinch of cloves

•¼ teaspoon salt

•¼ cup brown sugar

•1 egg

•¼ cup applesauce

•1 tablespoon milk

•2 tablespoons melted butter

For the glaze

•2 tablespoons butter

•¼ cup brown sugar

•2 tablespoons maple syrup

•2 tablespoons milk

•½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1.For the donuts, preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients.

2.Whisk in moist ingredients. Pour batter into a gallon-sized plastic bag and cut the corner off. Pipe the batter into a greased mini-donut pan, filling each donut space about ½ full (for me, this was about 22 mini donuts). Bake for about 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and take each donut out of the pan.

3.For the glaze, melt 2 tablespoons butter with ¼ cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for about 2 minutes. Add maple syrup and 1 tablespoon milk and bring back to a boil. Add powdered sugar, using the last tablespoon of milk to help thin out the frosting if needed. Keep over low heat (otherwise it will start to crystallize) and dunk each mini donut into the frosting. Frosting should set almost immediately.

Healthy Chocolate PB Cups

Healthy-Enough-For-Breakfast Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups 

Yields 10 chocolate peanut butter cups


Bottom Layer:

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (I used Tropical Traditions Organic Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil)

4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 packets stevia


Line a mini muffin tray with 10 paper liners.  Stir all ingredients together until smooth and divide between the 10 mini muffin wells (each should be about half full).  (Try not to dribble on the sides since it will give your candy a streaked look.)  Put the tray in the freezer on a flat surface and freeze until solid (about 15 minutes, give or take a little while depending how cold your freezer is).


Top Layer:

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 packet stevia

10 walnut halves (optional)


Stir all ingredients together (except walnut halves) until smooth and divide on top of the set chocolate mixture.  Transfer back to the freezer and freeze until partially solid (about 5 minutes), then lightly press 1 walnut half into the top of each candy (if using the walnut halves).  Return to the freezer and freeze until solid.

Store the treats in the fridge in an air-tight container between layers of wax paper.

Pesto Parmesan Crusted Halibut

Pesto-Parmesan Crusted Halibut

barely adapted from Curisine at Home, Cuisine Light


I used halibut for this, but I think any mild white fish would work just as well.  Just adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the fish.  


•1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

•1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

•salt and pepper

•1 Tbs lemon zest

•8 tsp basil pesto, divided

•4 halibut fillets, each about 1 inch thick and 4 oz each.

•cooking spray

•fresh lemon juice, for serving


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.  Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.


Meanwhile, combine the panko, Parmesan, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.  Stir the lemon zest into the basil.


Arrange the halibut in a single layer on the baking sheet and pat dry with a paper towel.  Season with salt and pepper, and spread 2 teaspoons of basil over each piece of fish.  Press the parmesan-panko mixture over the pesto.  Spray with nonstick cooking spray.


Cook until the top is turning golden-brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes.  Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.

I bake the squash for 30 min. @ 350 With a little olive oil, sea salt and pepper (cut in half and take the seeds out). Then take a fork after it has cooled and it shreds like noodles. Steamed the broccoli and crumbled over the squash. Sliced up fresh tomatoes to top it off. 35 minutes and dinner was done.

These pizzas are piled high with mashed pinto beans, salsa verde and cumin-flavored chicken. Then they’re finished with a fresh avocado-tomato topping. 


Ingredients:
3 spray(s) cooking spray    
4 small corn tortilla(s)    
8 oz uncooked 93% lean ground chicken    
1 tsp minced garlic    
1/2 tsp ground cumin    
1/4 tsp table salt    
1/2 cup(s) canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained    
1/3 cup(s) fat free salsa, verde    
1/2 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped, divided    
1/4 cup(s) low fat shredded cheddar cheese, sharp-variety    
8 tsp reduced-fat sour cream    
1 medium plum tomato(es), diced    
1/2 item(s) (medium) avocado, diced    
1 tsp fresh lime juice    


Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. 
Place tortillas on prepared pan; bake until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. 

Meanwhile, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic, cumin and salt; cook, breaking up chunks of chicken with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.


Next, in a bowl, mash beans and salsa with a fork until well-blended and most of the beans are mashed; stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. 


To assemble pizzas, spread 1/4 bean mixture over each tortilla (slightly less than 1/4 cup); top each with about 1/3 cup chicken mixture and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake until cheese melts and topping is hot, about 3 minutes. (Broil pizzas to brown cheese even more, if desired.)


Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together tomato, avocado, remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and lime juice.


Remove pizzas from oven and top each with 2 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream and about 1/4 cup avocado mixture. Yields 1 pizza per serving.4942955B-A12D-4D4B-89B2-1ED272152D8F
