As the weather becomes colder, we start craving our favourite comfort foods. It’s not only about delicious dinners, but also getting your day off to the perfect start. By enjoying a filling breakfast, you will give your body all the fuel it needs to power on through the day.
Pumpkin is the flavour of the season which is why it should come as no surprise that people enjoy adding it to every meal. Pumpkin Choc Chip Cookies make it possible to enjoy the best of both worlds – seasonal delight along with delicious chocolate.
Bananas are great for keeping that tummy full so why not add them to your favourite cocoa muffins? Skip the sugar and use honey instead. That said, go easy on the honey since the bananas will also add sweetness.
There are plenty of brownie recipes out there and, even though they are usually sticky and sweet, there are also healthy alternatives. Gluten and dairy free brownies will mean that you don’t need to feel nearly as guilty for enjoying an extra portion!
Pancakes are even better when you add pumpkin! Remember to enhance the pumpkin flavour by adding cinnamon. Some people also add ginger while others prefer nutmeg. It really does boil down to personal preference. Dress lightly with syrup so that you don’t mask that pumpkin flavour.
French toast sticks are also easy to make and much like french toast itself. When you are done, dust with cinnamon sugar and set some syrup on the side for dipping. The kids will love this one in particular!
Banana bread is always a winner and does not contain too much sugar. A good tip to remember is that older bananas are often best. Not only are they softer and easier to mash, but they also have a more intense banana flavour. You can also add pecans, walnuts, or almonds if you fancy some crunch.
