Prepare The Batter

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350° F. This recipe comes together fast, so you want the oven hot, once the batter is ready to go.

Place flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir or whisk them to combine. Once combined, add fresh or frozen blueberries and orange zest to the mixture.

NOTE: If using frozen blueberries, do NOT thaw them before adding them to the mixture.

Flour, sugar, baking powder and salt are combined in a large bowl.Blueberries (fresh or frozen) and orange zest are added to dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk and vegetable oil together. Pour these wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and stir only until all ingredients have been combined. Do not over mix.

Eggs, milk and vegetable oil are whisked together before adding to batter.Wet ingredients are added to the blueberry breakfast loaf batter.

Time To Bake The Blueberry Breakfast Loaf

Pour the batter into a greased (bottom and sides) 9″ x 5″ x 3″ loaf pan. Place the loaf on the middle rack in the oven.

Bake at 350°F. for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. The blueberry breakfast loaf should be golden brown on top once done.

Remove the pan from the oven, and let the bread cool, still in the pan, for 10 minutes. After it has rested 10 minutes, run a butter knife around the edges, then invert pan to remove the loaf.

Transfer the loaf to a wire rack, and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.

Pumpkin Spice Waffles are an amazing breakfast treat all year long! Golden brown, crispy, and simple to make- you’re gonna love ’em!
Pumpkin Spice Waffles are an amazing breakfast treat all year long! Golden brown, crispy, and simple to make- you're gonna love 'em!

Do you enjoy waffles? We sure do in our home! Every few weeks, my husband will ask if we can have waffles for breakfast, and out comes our trusty ol’ waffle iron. We don’t have waffles too often (gotta keep our girlish figures, right? *wink wink*), but when we do, we love ’em!

The easy recipe I want to share today is for pumpkin spice waffles. With the inclusion of canned pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice mix in the batter, there is a really nice Fall-inspired flavor to these yummy breakfast treats! They’re crispy, golden brown, and delicious! Remember- even though they are “Fall-inspired” doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this hearty breakfast year-round! Here’s how to make them:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Make The Batter

Whisk buttermilk, pumpkin puree, melted butter and eggs together in a large mixing bowl. Continue to whisk these wet ingredients until the mixture is smooth.

Pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk and butter are whisked together for the batter.The wet ingredients are whisked for the pumpkin spice waffles batter.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk (or stir) together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. NOTE: I make my own pumpkin pie spice mix… you can find my recipe here.

Pour the wet batter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the batter only until all ingredients are mixed and moistened. It’s okay if the batter is still a little bit lumpy… just don’t overmix.

Flour sugar and spices are combined for the waffle batter.Pumpkin-flavored batter is added to the dry ingredients for the waffles.

Cook The Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron, brushing with oil, if required by manufacturer instructions. If using a standard sized waffle iron, you will use about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle (for a yield of 4-6 waffles). If using a Belgian waffle maker (as shown below), you will use about 1 cup of batter per waffle (for a yield of 3 waffles). 

Cook the waffles according to manufacturer instructions and timing recommendations. Depending on the type waffle make you use, they will typically cook for somewhere between 3-5 minutes. When done, the pumpkin spice waffles should be crispy and lightly browned. Remove waffle, and serve immediately.

Note: The batter for this recipe is fairly thick, so do not use with a “pour into the top” type of waffle iron (some newer models). The first time I made these I tried a new type of waffle iron I had been given, where you pour the batter through a type of funnel into the top without opening the waffle iron. Complete failure, cause the batter was too thick for the funnel loader. My bad.

To serve, top the hot pumpkin spice waffles with a bit of butter, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve hot, and enjoy!

We really enjoy the warm Fall-inspired flavors of these pumpkin spice waffles. I hope you will too! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you come back again soon. Have a GREAT day!

Quiche Lorraine is delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Easy to make, and filled with bacon, eggs, and cheese... you're gonna love it!

Quiche Lorraine is a versatile, easy and delicious dish, which can be enjoyed as a main dish or as a side dish! I’ve always wondered “just WHO is Lorraine, and why is HER quiche so famous?” So I did a little bit of research to find out the history of this yummy dish.

Quiche Lorraine’s Origins

Turns out, LORRAINE isn’t a woman (who knew?). It is a region in France that borders Germany. The story goes that in medieval times, this region (originally called Lothringen) was under German rule, and a recipe for a savory cake was created there.

The French word “quiche” is derived from the German word “kuchen”, which basically means “cake”. Many years later, after the region had returned to French rule, the “Quiche Lorraine” recipe was “enhanced”, and became the name of this beloved dish.

There are multitudes of quiche recipes with a variety of ingredients created throughout the world, but the Quiche Lorraine remains the most famous and loved. Apparently chef Julia Child is often credited for exposing  America to this classic dish, which typically includes pie crust, eggs, bacon (or other meat), and cheese.

We love this dish because it is so EASY to make, and tastes absolutely wonderful! This is my “go-to” favorite quiche, and I’ve been making it for over 40 years! Here’s how to make it:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

A Word About The Pie Crust

For this recipe you can use a homemade 9″ pie shell OR a purchased deep-dish pie shell. Either type will work just fine for this recipe.

Obviously a purchased pie shell is quicker and more convenient, but I like to use my Mom’s recipe for homemade pie crusts. 

Arrange the prepared pie dough in a 9″ pie pan, and crimp the edges to form a crust. Use the tines of a fork to prick the bottom and sides of the crust (as shown below).

A 9-inch unbaked deep dish pie shell is pricked with a fork before adding ingredients.

Making The Quiche Lorraine Is EASY!

Preheat your oven to 425°F., and then begin putting this quiche together. It’s EASY!  Place the cooked, crumbled crispy bacon on the bottom of the pie shell, spreading to cover. Add the chopped onions, and then top it off with grated Swiss cheese.

Cooked, crumbled bacon and chopped onions are added to pie shell.Grated Swiss cheese is added to the quiche ingredients in pie shell.

Whisk whipping cream, eggs, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper together in a medium bowl, until they’re fully combined. Pour this liquid over the ingredients in the pie shell. The pie shell will be very full!

Carefully give the ingredients a tiny bit of a stir, bringing some of the bacon, onion and cheese up to the surface. You don’t have to mix it up real well, just enough to combine the ingredients. Now it’s time to bake your Quiche Lorraine!

Eggs, whipping cream and spices are whisked for the Quiche Lorraine.Egg and cream mixture is poured over bacon, onion and cheese in pie shell.

Baking The Quiche Loraine

Carefully place the Quiche Lorraine on the middle rack of a preheated 425°F. oven. Be careful to not slosh it around, because it will be full (just a helpful tip!). Bake at 425°F. for 15 minutes, turn the oven down to 300°F. and continue cooking it for 30 more minutes.

You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer the quiche to a wire rack to cool down a bit (still in pie pan). You’ll be able to see how puffy the quiche is, from the hot air inside.

The top of the quiche will “flatten” as the air dissipates inside while it cools, and that is what it is supposed to do!

Quiche Lorraine is ready to bake in a hot oven.Top of the quiche is golden brown after baking.Hot air puffs up the Quiche Lorraine after baking.

Ready To Eat!

Once the top of the quiche has flattened and it has cooled for 10-15 minutes, it’s ready to slice and enjoy! The Quiche Lorraine can be eaten hot, warm, cold, OR at room temperature, whichever way you prefer.

Slice the quiche into 8 portions (or 6 if you want larger pieces!), serve, and enjoy! It’s filled with GREAT flavor, lots of cheese, and yummy bacon. We love this quiche, and have it for breakfast, lunch OR dinner!

Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. You can easily microwave leftover pieces of quiche to bring them back to the temperature you prefer!

I really hope you will try this quiche, because it is so good! It is by far the most famous of all quiches, and is a great dish to have around, for a delicious dinner, lunch or breakfast!

Thank you for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, and I hope you have a great day.

Learn how to make an Egg In A Basket! Toasted, buttery sourdough bread cradles a fried egg in the middle, in this easy to make breakfast!

Have you ever heard of making an egg in a basket? It can also be called egg in a nest, and is a fun way to serve an egg and toast in a cute little “package”. Several well-known family restaurants have served this dish over the years (including Cracker Barrel). 

Today I want to show you how to make an egg in a basket for yourself or someone you love. I found the recipe in one of my cookbooks many years ago.

Typically I use a thick slice of sourdough bread because it holds up really well, but truthfully, you can use whatever bread you enjoy.

I finally took some photos of the cooking process to share here on the ol’ blog. The “recipe” can be easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled for as many servings as you want! Here’s how to make this fun breakfast dish:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make An Egg In A Basket

Butter one side of a slice of sourdough bread, (reserving a little bit of butter to add to your skillet later).

Use a 2¼” biscuit cutter OR a pint jar lid or jar to carefully cut out a circle from the middle of the buttered side of the bread. Save both pieces of buttered bread.

A jar or jar lid is used to cut out a circle in buttered bread.A hole has been made in the slice of sourdough bread.

Heat a skillet (or a griddle) on medium heat. Place the slice of bread (and the round cut out) BUTTER SIDE DOWN in the hot skillet.

Cook them for about 2 minutes, or just until the bottom side begins to turn golden brown. Place the reserved tiny bit of butter into the hole and let it melt.

Buttered bread and circle are cooked butter side down until browned.

Cooking The Egg In A Basket

As soon as the butter has melted, carefully crack an egg into the hole, being careful to not break the yolk. Lightly salt and pepper the egg.

Cook the egg in a basket for 1-2 more minutes (I usually do 2 minutes), until the egg begins to set and solidify in the bread.

Carefully turn the bread and egg over to the other side, (trying to not splash egg white all over the place) or break the yolk. Be gentle and patient and you can do it! Flip over the little toasted bread round at the same time, too!

Butter is added to hole in bread, then an egg is cracked into hole.After cooking for a couple minutes, the egg in a basket is flipped to other side.

Continue to cook the egg for another minute, or until it reaches your desired “done-ness”. Transfer the egg in a basket to a serving plate, and garnish with chopped parsley or chopped chives, if desired.

Serve the little toasted round of bread on the side, and enjoy this scrumptious breakfast with some fresh fruit, and sausage or bacon. YUM!

The finished egg in a basket is sprinkled with parsley and served.

I hope you enjoy this breakfast dish. It’s a cute and different way to serve up a traditional egg and toast breakfast!

Thank you for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day.

Pour the milk into a large saucepan, and bring it to a gentle boil on medium heat. Once it begins to boil, add the rolled oats to the pan, and stir to combine.

Oats are added to heated milk in saucepan.

Butter and salt are added to the oats and milk in saucepan.Oatmeal is cooked for 5 minutes, letting milk being absorbed.

Add The Good Stuff!

When you have finished cooking the oatmeal for 5 minutes, remove the pan from direct heat. Stir in the chopped apples, raisins, walnuts (or pecans), maple syrup and cinnamon.

Stir well, to fully combine all the ingredients in the maple nut oatmeal. Immediately divide the hot oatmeal into individual portions in serving bowls. 

Maple syrup, raisins, nuts, apple and cinnamon are added to oatmeal.All ingredients have been mixed into the maple nut oatmeal, and it's ready to serve.

Serving Maple Nut Oatmeal

To serve the maple nut oatmeal, add a bit of additional milk (if desired) and stir to the consistency you prefer (oatmeal will be thick). Drizzle a little maple syrup over the top of each serving OR sprinkle each portion with a teaspoon of brown sugar (optional, but recommended).

Grab a spoon, and enjoy this delicious breakfast! Creamy, crunchy, and chewy, this maple nut oatmeal tastes great, and it is very filling! I think you’re gonna love it!

A serving of maple nut oatmeal is served hot, sprinkled with brown sugar.

Any leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days, and can be easily reheated in a microwave. You will probably want to stir in a little bit more milk before microwaving it to ensure a creamy texture. This recipe can be easily doubled in case you have a larger family, or want to have extra maple nut oatmeal pre-made in the fridge for quick, filling breakfasts on the go! 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have the opportunity to make this yummy and “not boring” oatmeal for yourself or those you love. Have a wonderful day, and come back soon!

    Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a delicious, easy-to make treat. The recipe yields two 9x5 loaves, perfect for gift-giving or snacking.

    Do you enjoy banana bread? We sure do! Years ago I made some simple tweaks to my mom’s recipe for banana nut bread, and started making golden brown loaves of moist, chocolate chip banana bread (filled with chocolate chips and without the nuts). How can you go wrong by adding chocolate to just about anything? Not sure it’s possible.

    Anyways, this simple recipe was born from her recipe. The recipe makes two big loaves of this delicious, moist bread. It hardly takes any time at all to whip up the batter, and then all that is left to do is pop ’em in the oven, and wait for them to be done. Easy Peasy! Here’s how to make this yummy bread, which can be a snack or a breakfast treat. We like to eat our slices warm, with a dab of soft butter on them. YUM. Here’s how to make this bread:

    Make The Batter

    Making the batter is simple. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and granulated sugar into a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips, reserving some (1/4 cup) to add to the top of the loaves before baking. These are the “dry ingredients”.

    Dry ingredients are sifted, together then chocolate chips are added.

    In a separate bowl, whisk or stir together eggs, oil, lemon juice, and mashed (very ripe) bananas. You will want to use bananas that have brown spots all over the peels (very ripe), because they will be the sweetest, which is perfect for this bread. These are your “wet ingredients”.

    Once combined, pour the “wet ingredients” into the bowl with the “dry ingredients”, and stir well, only until all the ingredients are combined. Do not over-mix the batter.

    Mashed bananas, eggs, oil, and lemon juice are combined in bowl.The wet ingredients are poured into the bowl of dry ingredients.The banana bread batter is stirred only until ingredients are combined.

    Bake The Chocolate Chip Banana Bread 

    Now it’s time to bake the chocolate chip banana bread. Spray two 9×5″ loaf pans with non-stick baking spray (bottom and sides). Evenly divide the batter between the two pans. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the bread batter.

    Place the loaves on the middle rack in a preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top comes out clean. I recommend checking the bread at 50 minutes, then again, until done. The chocolate chip banana bread should be golden brown on top. Let the loaves cool for 10-15 minutes (in the pan) on a wire rack, before attempting to remove them from the pans.

    Chocolate chip banana bread batter is divided into two loaf pans for baking.Two loaves of chocolate chip banana bread cool on wire racks after baking.

    Time To Eat!

    Once the loaves have cooled, run a butter knife around the edges of the pan. Place a platter on top of a loaf, and holding both the platter and the loaf pan… invert the loaf upside down. It should come out of the pan easily (if you greased your pan well!).

    Slice and serve. Each loaf should give you about 8 slices of this delicious bread. It is delicious slightly warmed, with butter, too! YUM.
    NOTE: This bread also freezes very well, if wrapped well, in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

    I hope you enjoy this yummy chocolate chip banana bread. It has been a favorite in our home for many, many years! Thank you for stopping by, and I sincerely hope you will come back soon. Have a wonderful day.

    It's easy to make crispy homemade hash browns to serve with a favorite breakfast. Crunchy on the outside, & soft inside, they're DELICIOUS!

    Anyone want hash browns with their breakfast? Me, me, me! My husband and I love crispy hash browns, especially with a good egg breakfast, but don’t have them too often. Most weekday mornings we grab coffee and an English muffin or have granola. HOWEVER… there is nothing like a big hearty breakfast on the weekends!

    These crispy homemade hash browns are a wonderful accompaniment to a “full-on” breakfast, and they are very easy to make! They don’t take too much time or effort to make, either. I’ve been making them this way for years, and finally took photos so I could share the recipe with you on my blog!

    Golden brown, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, these buttery, shredded potatoes taste amazing! Here’s how to make them:

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Prepare The Potatoes

    When I make hash browns, I like to use medium-sized Yukon gold or red potatoes. I had a few German butterball potatoes left from our garden (very similar to Yukons), so I used them for the photos. It’s certainly okay to use russets, but I personally like the color and flavor of the other varieties best. If using russets, use one really large or two medium sized potatoes to make two servings (as written in the recipe card)

    Peel the potatoes, and then use a box grater to shred them immediately. Be sure to grate the potatoes immediately before cooking, so they don’t turn brown from exposure to air! I always shred them onto several thicknesses of paper towels, to help absorb moisture. Cover the shredded potatoes with several more paper towels, and press firmly to remove as much moisture from the potatoes as possible.

    Removing as much moisture as possible will help create CRISPY hash browns. The potatoes will turn crispy while cooking instead of steaming in the additional moisture that was not removed. Trust me.

    Potatoes are peeled, then grated onto paper towels.Paper towels are used to press into the grated potatoes to absorb excess moisture.

    Time To Cook Crispy Homemade Hash Browns!

    Okay… the potatoes are grated, and the excess moisture has been absorbed. Now it’s time to cook some crispy homemade hash browns! Add vegetable oil and butter to a large heavy skillet. TIP: If you have a cast iron skillet, use it! Cook on medium-high heat, stirring until the butter melts, and the skillet is really hot, but not smoking.

    Carefully add the shredded potatoes to the hot skillet, evenly distributing them on the bottom of the skillet in a shallow layer. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Once you have the layer of potatoes spread out, do not disturb or move them.

    Butter is melted into vegetable oil in large skillet.The hash browns are placed in hot skillet and seasoned.

    Flip And Continue Cooking

    Cook the crispy homemade hash browns for 3-4 minutes without disturbing them. When you begin to see the bottom edges begin to get golden brown and crispy, carefully turn the hash browns over in one piece, if possible.

    Continue cooking an additional 3-4 minutes, occasionally pressing down firmly on the top of the hash browns with the back of a spatula. Flip the hash browns back over to the original side and cook 1-2 more minutes until they are crispy on the outside and lightly browned all over.

    The crispy homemade hash browns are cooked, then flipped to cook other side.Seasoned crispy hash browns are fully cooked and ready to serve.

    Time To EAT!

    Evenly divide the crispy homemade hash browns into two portions and place on plates, keeping each portion intact, if possible.  Serve immediately, adding additional salt and pepper, if desired, to suit your own personal taste.

    We enjoyed these hash browns served with a ham and cheese egg scramble and a slice of toast with my homemade strawberry jam. They were crispy, buttery, and absolutely DELICIOUS!

    Rum Raisin Muffins are an easy to prepare breakfast treat! Brown sugar muffins filled with rum-soaked raisins! Recipe yields 1 dozen.

    I originally found this recipe for rum raisin muffins in one of the many cookbooks I have collected over the years. This recipe has a very basic brown sugar batter, and has lots of rum-marinated raisins inside. It sounded intriguing, so I made them the first time for my husband and I.

    We really liked them! They are not overly sweet, and honestly don’t taste too “rum-like” (in case you’re wondering), but are a moist, yummy muffin. They’re perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, and are very easy to make! Here’s how:

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Do You REALLY Soak The Raisins In Rum?

    Yes. For this recipe, the raisins are soaked in a very small amount of rum. The alcohol will cook out as the muffins bake, leaving a small bit of flavor behind. You can use light rum, dark rum, or coconut rum, whatever type you have access to.

    The raisins will take an hour to soak, so plan ahead! Truly, this is the only thing about the entire recipe that will take time. Place the raisins in a small bowl, and stir in the rum, until the raisins are coated. Let them sit for one hour, stirring occasionally, to allow the rum to lightly infuse the raisins with extra flavor. Do NOT drain, once done.

    Raisins are soaked in rum before adding to muffin batter.

    Prepare The Muffin Batter

    Before beginning, preheat your oven to 400°F, and grease or line with paper liners a 12 cup muffin pan. Now let’s make the batter! It’s a cinch. Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, and stir well, to combine the dry ingredients.

    Brown sugar is stirred into sifted flour, baking powder and salt.

    Place two eggs in a separate bowl, and whisk them lightly. Add the oil and milk, and whisk these wet ingredients together until fully combined.

    Milk is added to beaten eggs and oil in large bowl.Wet ingredients are whisked together before adding to dry ingredients.

    Finish The Batter

    Hollow out a “well” in the middle of the bowl of dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Now add the rum-soaked raisins (and any leftover liquid from their bowl) to the mix. Stir all the batter ingredients together gently until everything is combined. Be careful to not overmix the batter. Stir only until all ingredients have been incorporated into a slightly thick batter.

    Wet ingredients and rum-soaked raisins are added to dry ingredients.The batter for the rum raisin muffins is ready to use.

    Bake The Rum Raisin Muffins

    Carefully pour or spoon the batter into the 12 prepared muffin cups, evenly dividing the batter between them. The batter will fill each cup to between 1/2 and 2/3 full.

    Bake the rum raisin muffins at 400°F for 18-20 minutes. Test to see if they are done around the 18 minutes mark, by inserting a toothpick into the top of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they are done. The finished muffins will have risen considerably, and be nicely browned. Remove pan from oven. Let muffins cool (still in the pan) for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

    Paper-lined muffin cups are filled with the muffin batter.After baking, the rum raisin muffins are nicely browned on top.

    Time To Eat!

    The rum raisin muffins are delicious, served warm, with a dab of softened butter. They are also yummy, when eaten at room temperature, just as they are. They are filled with plump, chewy raisins, and taste wonderful. I really hope you enjoy them.

    Each of the rum raisin muffins is full of rum-soaked raisins!

    Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have the opportunity to try this recipe for rum raisin muffins. They freeze well, so if you can’t possibly finish them all in one sitting, pop a few into re-sealable freezer bags and toss ’em in the freezer to enjoy at a later date.

    5. Evenly divide batter into 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup between 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes. Test to see if done at the 18 minute mark, by inserting a toothpick into the top of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they're done. They will have risen considerably, and be nicely browned. Remove pan from oven. Let muffins cool (still in pan) for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

    Do you like the flavor combination of cranberries and oranges? I sure do! In the past I’ve posted recipes here using cranberry-orange flavor palettes for cake, scones, and muffins.

    I’ve even used the cranberry-orange combo for salads, Israeli couscous, bagels, sauce and cookies, but realized I’ve never posted my tried and true recipe for simple, easy cranberry orange BREAD. No glazes, icings, etc. to complicate it… just sweet, delicious cranberry orange bread. YUMMO.

    This recipe is SO EASY to make! The prep time is very minimal, and then into a hot oven a pan full of batter goes, only to re-appear as a golden loaf of amazing tasting bread!

    Cranberry Orange Bread is a yummy treat you will enjoy for breakfast, snacking, OR giving lovingly to a dear friend or family member over the holidays! Here’s how easy it is to make:

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Prepare The  Batter

    Before beginning, preheat your oven to 350°F. Whisk (or stir) together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large mixing bowl, until combined.

    Add one egg (lightly beaten), orange juice, orange zest, and vegetable shortening to the flour mixture. 

    The dry ingredients are whisked together in a large bowl until combined.Egg, orange juice, orange zest and shortening are added to dry ingredients.

    Use an electric mixer to fully combine these ingredients together, then remove the beaters.

    Once mixed, STIR in finely chopped cranberries and nuts (walnuts or pecans). Stir only until all ingredients have been incorporated into the batter.

    Wet and dry ingredients are mixed together to form batter for the bread.Finely chopped cranberries and pecans are added to the bread batter.After stirring, the cranberry orange bread batter is ready for a baking pan.

    Bake The Cranberry Orange Bread

    Now that the batter for the cranberry orange bread is ready, it’s time to bake! Grease or spray the bottom only of a 9×5 inch bread pan.

    Transfer the batter into the prepared bread pan, evenly distributing the batter. Place the pan on the middle rack of a preheated oven.

    Time to bake the cranberry orange bread.

    Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top of the loaf comes out clean.

    Oven temperatures tend to vary quite a bit, so I recommend checking the bread at the 50 minute mark, just to make sure you don’t over-cook it.

    Removing The Bread From The Pan

    When done, the top should be beautiful and golden brown, and a toothpick will come out CLEAN. Transfer the pan to a wire rack, and let cool for about 10 minutes, before attempting to remove it from the pan.

    After it cools, gently slide a butter knife around the edges of the bread to loosen it from the pan.

    Place a platter on top of the bread pan. Quickly turn the loaf upside down, and tap on the bottom of the pan until the bread releases. If it doesn’t immediately release, turn it back over, re-do the sides with the butter knife, and let it cool a few more minutes.

    Carefully place the loaf back onto a wire rack to finish cooling after removing it from the pan.

    When done, the cranberry orange bread is golden brown on top.A side view of the finished loaf of bread while cooling on wire rack.

    Cool, Slice, And Eat!

    Let the cranberry orange bread cool for awhile before slicing. This will ensure a nicely cut slice! You can eat the bread warm with a dab of butter if desired. We enjoy this bread the most when served at room temperature, but it’s most certainly YOUR choice.

    However you choose to eat it, either still warm or at room temperature… it really is delicious! The cranberry orange flavor is wonderful, and I am confident you will like it! The bread also freezes well, if wrapped very well!

    Thank you so much for stopping by. I am grateful you took some of your precious time and spent it here. Hopefully you will have the opportunity to try this delicious bread for yourself, or can make a loaf for someone you love.

    Please come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes! Have a great day, and may God bless you.

    Mini Dutch Babies are simple to make, and will be a hit at any breakfast or brunch. Mix in blender, bake, then top with fruit fillings or maple syrup!

    Looking for a FUN way to serve breakfast or brunch? You’ve gotta try these yummy mini Dutch babies! Set out a platter of them, along with a variety of colorful and yummy toppings, and you will be amazed how crazy everyone goes for them!

    The topping possibilities are endless, and these little Dutch babies are ridiculously EASY to make – this will be a popular breakfast or brunch… guaranteed! Here’s how to make them for those you love (a printable recipe card is also available at the bottom of this post):

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Lots Of Toppings Make This A Great Breakfast!

    Before you begin preparing and cooking the mini Dutch babies, it’s a good idea to get all your toppings ready to go. That way, when they come out of the oven, you are ready to roll! When you offer a variety of toppings, it makes this a FUN and easy breakfast bar!

    Our mini Dutch babies were served with the options shown below: Maple syrup, whipped cream, sliced fresh strawberries, apple pie filling, blueberry pie filling, lemon wedges and sifted powdered sugar. Each of these really compliment the Dutch babies with added color and flavor!  My all-time favorite way to enjoy them is to squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the Dutch baby, and then sift powdered sugar over the top. YUM!

    Strawberries, apple pie & blueberry fillings, lemon, powders sugar, whipped cream and syrup ready for Dutch babies.

    Prepare The Batter

    The batter is super easy to prepare using a blender. The ingredients are milk, eggs, flour, salt, vanilla extract, orange zest (optional but good), and butter. Place all the ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE BUTTER into a blender. Cover and blend on medium-high speed for about a minute. Scrape down the sides of the blender and make sure any flour “clumps” are incorporated/blended into the batter.

    The batter is made using flour, eggs, vanilla, butter, salt and milk.All batter ingredients (except butter) are mixed in a blender.

    Melt the butter, let it cool for a minute, and then SLOWLY drizzle it into the top of the blender while it is running on low speed. You need to slowly drizzle that melted butter in, because that helps to “temper” the raw eggs in the batter, instead of scrambling them!

    Melted butter is streamed into the batter, a bit at a time.

    Bake The Mini Dutch Babies

    Preheat oven to 400°F.  Grease each muffin cup well (bottom and sides) with non-stick spray, butter or oil. Carefully pour the batter (evenly  divided) into the muffin tin(s). I pour the batter straight from the blender, for convenience. The muffin cups should be filled halfway with batter. 

    NOTE: This recipe makes approximately 18 mini Dutch babies. If you only have one  (12 cup) muffin tin, simply repeat the process with the 2nd batch, using up the rest of the batter.

    Mini Dutch babies are baked in standard sized muffin tins.

    Bake the mini Dutch babies in a preheated 400°F oven for 15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and are puffy on the top.  Remove the muffin tin from the oven and place on a wire rack.

    As the Dutch babies cool slightly, the puffy top will collapse (as air dissipates), which will naturally form a small “crater” in the middle. That is PERFECTLY done, because the crater will hold the various toppings you serve with these little treats.

    Once removed from oven, the mini Dutch babies will create their own crater in the middle.

    Time To Serve The Mini Dutch Babies!

    Once the “craters” have formed, it’s time to serve these delicious and colorful little treats. Lift each mini Dutch baby out of the muffin tin, and place a few warm ones on each plate. Let your family or friends then choose the toppings they want for each one. Aren’t they CUTE?

    To serve, fill the mini Dutch babies with favorite fruit toppings.Top each one with sifted powdered sugar, whipped cream or maple syrup.

    This is such a fun, EASY breakfast or brunch, and your family or guests will enjoy choosing the toppings to enjoy on their yummy breakfast treats. I hope you have the opportunity to make and enjoy mini Dutch babies soon. They’re delicious!

    Thanks for stopping by, and I trust you will have a fantastic day. There is a complete, printable recipe card at the bottom of this post, if you decide you would like to try this recipe. Enjoy!

    Ingredients
    • 1 cup milk , I use 1%
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 cup all purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest , optional, but good!
    • ¼ cup butter , melted (= 4 Tablespoons or ½ stick)
    US Customary - Metric
    Instructions

    1. TIP: Before you begin preparing and cooking the mini Dutch babies, it's a good idea to get all your toppings ready to go. See optional toppings below.

    Make The Mini Dutch Babies:

    1. Place milk, eggs, flour, salt, vanilla, and orange zest in blender. **Do NOT add butter yet. Cover and blend on medium-high speed for about a minute. Scrape down sides of blender and make sure any flour "clumps" are incorporated/blended into batter.

    2. Melt butter, let it cool for a minute, and then SLOWLY drizzle it into the top of the blender while it is running on low speed. You need to slowly drizzle melted butter in, because it helps "temper" the raw eggs in the batter, instead of scrambling them!

    3. Preheat oven to 400°F.  Grease each muffin cup well (bottom and sides) with non-stick spray, butter or oil. Pour batter (evenly  divided) into muffin tin(s), filling each muffin cup half full.  Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy on top and golden brown. Transfer pan to a wire rack. **As the Dutch babies cool slightly, the puffy top will collapse (as air dissipates), which forms a small "crater" in the middle.

    4. Remove Dutch babies from muffin tin(s), and serve warm, along with your favorite toppings!
