Morning Glory Muffins
We love these spiced muffins because they’re packed with fresh and dried fruit. Change them up as you wish. You can substitute toasted chopped pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds for the coconut, and your favourite dried fruit in place of the apricots and/or cherries, and even omit the crystallized ginger if you’re not a fan. […]
Brownie Belgian Waffles
Belgian waffles first became popular at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. But they were called “Bel-Gem Waffles” at the fair because Americans were unfamiliar with where the waffles originated. Now, of course, they’re a North American breakfast staple. This brownie inspired version is a decadent twist on the classic recipe. Makes 4 servings Prep […]
German Pancake with Spiced Apple Compote
This German-style pancake, also known as a Dutch baby pancake, resembles a thick crêpe but is much easier to prep than its lacy cousin. We like it topped with a spiced apple compote, but it’s equally yummy with fresh berries scattered on top. Makes 4 servings Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 30 to 40 […]

Peanut Butter–Banana Pancakes
These fluffy pancakes are bursting with the flavours of bananas and peanut butter. A stack of these drizzled in syrup is just what we crave on a lazy Saturday morning. We like these topped with extra bananas and peanut butter chips, but serve with your favourite pancakes fixings, if you prefer. Makes about sixteen 4-inch […]
Peach & Pecan French Toast
Could French toast get any more decadent? If you find cutting the pockets in the bread slices difficult, pop the bread slices in the freezer for 20 minutes first. The slightly frozen bread will slice more cleanly. Makes 4 servings Prep time: 30 minutes Cooking time: about 6 minutes per batch INGREDIENTS 1 pkg […]
