Birthday Cake Streusel Banana Bread

How to make it

Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease 4 mini-loaf pans with non-stick spray.

  2. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or in a bowl with egg beaters, whisk together sugar and eggs on high until mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale yellow (~4 minutes).

  3. Turn stand mixer to low speed and drizzle in oil down side of bowl.

  4. In a food processor, or by hand, mash ripe bananas into smooth puree. Add yogurt and vanilla to mix. Whisk into bowl. Scrape down edges of bowl with a spatula.

  5. In a small bowl, sift together dry ingredients.

  6. Add to bowl and remove from stand mixer. Fold ingredients in by hand until mixture is just combined. While thick, the batter should still feel airy and ‘fluffy’.

  7. Divide 50% of batter evenly into prepared pans. Top with chocolate chips, divide remaining batter in pans, and top with remaining chocolate chips desired.

  8. Place in oven for ~7 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the streusel topping.

Streusel Topping

  1. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Add in oil and vanilla.

  3. When mixture starts forms into small pebbles with some larger chunks and some smaller sandy bits, toss in sprinkles.

  4. Remove banana bread from oven, it will hardly still look mostly like batter.

  5. Divide streusel topping over banana bread. The easiest way is to take a clean hand, grab a handful, squeeze, and then crumble over pans, creating nice large chunks.

  6. Return to oven and bake for an additional ~30-40 minutes (Depending on size of pans). Bread is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean (except maybe for some melted chocolate lol!).

  7. Let Cool.

  8. To remove from pan without tipping over and losing some crumb top, I find it easiest to loosen with a butter knife. Tilt pan slightly, and then use knife to slip under and pull up.

XXL Fluffy Pancakes

IMG_1713.jpg

How to make it

Read all instructions first - this is very important as the PROCESS is what makes flooooffffy pancakes - not the ingredients themselves!

  1. Separate eggs, placing yolks in a medium bowl, and whites in the bowl of a stand mixer.

  2. Place bowl with egg whites in freezer for 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, add milk, yogurt, and vanilla to yolks.

  4. Sift in flour and baking powder. Stir until just combined.

  5. Get out a large frying pan with a lid and place on stove over lowest heat to gradually warm.

  6. Remove bowl form freezer and place on stand mixer with whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until egg whites become frothy.

  7. With the mixer still going, slowly sprinkle in 1 Tbsp of sugar. Once added, sprinkle in the second Tbsp. Keep beating until soft peaks begin to form. This means - when you lift up the whisk, or draw a knife through the egg whites, little mountains will rise and hold form. The mixture will be glossy.

  8. Slowly, using a whisk, add in 1/4 of the egg whites to the egg you mixture at a time. Continue until just combined. Careful not to deflate the mixture and stir gently.

  9. Grease the pan, and use a piece of paper towel, such as Bounty, to remove any excess grease.

  10. Using a 1/4 Cup or a 3Tbsp cookie scoop, place 2 - 3 dollops of batter evenly in prepared pan. You’ll want to be able to flip them gently later so leave space. This recipe makes 3 3”-4” inch pancakes or 4 2.5”-3” inch pancakes.

  11. Add a second dollop of batter on top of the first - staking vertically. Allow to cook for 1 minute, and add one final scoop of batter on top.

  12. Place a little bit of water (1/2 Tbsp) in the pan, and cover with a lid. Allow to cook for ~4-5 minutes, until tops look relatively dry.

  13. Remove the lid. Using a spatula, flip / roll each pancake over.

  14. Replace lid and allow to cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.

  15. Serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, maple syrup, or your favourite chocolate spread - I am loving this one from our local Roasted Nut.

Variations:

  1. The classic - maple syrup and whipped cream!

  2. Add lemon zest to the batter and serve with a blueberry compote. There is a great recipe here :)

  3. Add a little more vanilla in the batter and some rainbows sprinkles for a birthday special! Top with whipped cream (or ice cream) and strawberries.

  4. Smear with chocolate hazelnut spread and some fresh bananas! Top with a warm drizzle of peanut butter!

What you’ll need

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 Tbsp skim milk

1/2 Tbsp Greek Yogurt

1/4 Cup cake flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 Tbsps sugar

Cinnamon Raisin Pretzels

100905348_560331814671152_970997616345088_n.jpg

How to make it

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, gently whisk sugar and salt into warm water.

  2. Sprinkle with instant yeast, and let bubble (~5 minutes), before stirring.

  3. Add flour, cinnamon, and raisins, and place the hook attachment on the mixer. Cover with a tea towel, and start on low speed for 30 seconds.

  4. Remove tea towel, flour should not be fully incorporated at this point, but worked in enough not to fly. Add in melted butter.

  5. Start the stand mixer again on low, slowly increasing speed. On medium, allow the hook to knead the dough for ~7 minutes. When the dough is close to ready, it will pull away from the edges of the bowl, and form into a ball.

  6. Transfer dough ball into a lightly greased bowl, and cover with a towel.

  7. Allow to rise in a warm place for ~1 hour.

  8. Once ball has risen, fill a large pot with ~3-4 inches of water. Place on stove top on high heat to bring to a boil.

  9. Preheat oven to 450F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  10. Meanwhile, divide dough into 6 even balls. Take each ball, and roll out on the counter into a long (~ 9 -12 inches) strand. Form dough strands into pretzel shapes. Holding the two ends, create a U. Then cross the ends into opposite hands. Pull dough back, and press into the bottom corners of the U loop.

  11. Boil each pretzel in the water for 20-30 seconds, removing from water with a slotted spoon, and placing on prepared cookie sheet.

  12. Place in over and bake for ~10 minutes.

  13. While baking, mix together cinnamon sugar for the top. Melt the butter in the microwave.

  14. When pretzels are done, brush each one with melted butter, and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Note, it is OK if you do not use ALL the butter and sugar - add to your taste!

  15. Best enjoyed warm fresh out of the oven! These go great simply dipped in your morning coffee, or drizzled with a little cream cheese frosting or caramel sauce as a dessert!
