Spiced Carrot Muffins: Secret Recipe Club

Spiced Carrot Muffins - Growing Up Gabel @thegabels #recipes

Muffins are great for breakfast or a snack. These spiced carrot muffins go the extra mile by also adding a little vegetable to an otherwise sweet treat. Just a few basic ingredients, a lot of fun spice, and about 30 minutes will get you a delicious and easy treat that even your kids will love. This month for Secret Recipe Club I was assigned the blog Samayalaria. I was really excited to be assigned a blog that is so different from mine. And a little worried about converting grams and Gas Marks in to something I knew, but a challenge is fun! I spent a lot of time perusing Samaylaria and found so many different foods that I've never been exposed to. There is also a slew of eggless recipes if you need to avoid eggs. I was determined to make something new and exciting! In the end, I was not adventurous at all. I finally decided to make carrot spice muffins because it was morning and I needed breakfast. Plus I love sneaking veggies in to "cupcakes" for the kids. ... [read more]

Orange Cranberry Muffins

January 9, 2013 by Camille 2 Comments

Muffins are a quick and easy breakfast that also freeze well. I love the combination of orange and cranberry and these Orange Cranberry Muffins come together in less than 30 minutes. When I was pregnant with my son a friend of mine brought orange cranberry scones to our weekly Bible study. They were absolute heaven. But I wasn't sure if the taste combination was a pregnancy "like" or an authentic new love. It turns out that the orange cranberry combination was not just a pregnancy thing. I love, love, love it! This past week I've been trying to clean out the fridge and pantry and just use what I had on hand for meals. I only had a few eggs left so I needed something for breakfast that would stretch them. I found a recipe for "Lemon Yogurt Muffins", which worked because I had yogurt to use up, but no lemons. I did, however, have oranges and cranberries to use up. The recipe made 1 dozen full size and 1 dozen mini muffins. Orange Cranberry Muffins Save Print ... [read more]

Maple Oatmeal Scones

January 7, 2013 by Camille 3 Comments

Scones are one of my favorite breakfasts or afternoon snacks. I particularly love scones because they can be frozen and then baked straight from the freezer. This scone is hearty, yet light, version of my favorite treat. I adore scones and I have a backlog of scone recipes waiting to be made. These scones are slightly different than most other recipe I've made because they call for eggs and I generally make scones when I am out of eggs. The scones bake up big and fluffy. In fact, this is the lightest scone I've made yet. What I really like about this recipe is the whole wheat flour and oats, which add a little whole grain goodness to an otherwise sweet treat. I substituted plain yogurt for buttermilk because that's what I had on hand.

Nutella Banana Bread

December 18, 2012 by Camille 3 Comments

Nutella and Banana bread? I was a bit skeptical, but oh my goodness -- this is amazing! This simple quick recipe takes only a few minutes to whip together and makes amazing gifts for friends and family. Every year for the past six years, a group of friends of mine has gotten together for a cookie exchange in early December. I usually bring a sweet treat. Last year I made some chocolate dipped pretzels but this year I packaged up some Slow Cooker Chex Mix for something different. One of my friends, Kim, always brings mini-loaves of banana bread (<-- that's her recipe!). She makes the best banana bread! This year she told she was going to bring Nutella Banana Bread. I pretty much dismissed the idea because it just didn't sound good to me. I like Nutella and I like banana bread, but together? No thanks! Then Kim texted me that this was the best banana bread she'd ever made. I still had my doubts ... until I tasted the Nutella Banana Bread. This bread is ... [read more]

Cinnamon Scones with Cinnamon Chips

November 24, 2012 by Camille 19 Comments

Cinnamon scones are quick and simple breakfast or afternoon snack. Just a few basic ingredients like flour, butter, nutmeg and buttermilk are mixed together and then flattened in to a disc before being cut in to triangles and baked. I really love scones and I used to make them pretty much once a week for breakfast. But over the past year or so I'd convinced myself that they are just too much work to bother with. So the other morning when I wanted a bread to have with eggs for breakfast, I decided to whip up some cinnamon scones. I'd forgotten how quick and easy they are to make. This is the first scone recipe I ever made and it was given to me by my friend Melody. The recipe calls for cinnamon chips, which are made by Hersey and can be hard to find except for during holiday baking season. Stock up now before they disappear! I've also used substituted butterscotch chips to make Butterscotch Scones, which are pretty good, too. But I really love these with cinnamon ... [read more]
