  • Sourdough Pancakes(or Waffles!)

    Have some extra sourdough discard that you don’t know what to do with? Make some pancake batter! This is an excellent use for that sourdough discard. The little bit of tang from the sourdough provides the perfect contrast to maple syrup or fruit. It creates a delightful breakfast that I love when I want to make something a bit fancier or have some extra fun. Give these a try the next time you make pancakes or waffles!

    Tips and Tricks

    • Add fruits, maple syrup, or maybe even whipped cream for a sweet addition! Mini chocolate chips for even more fun!
    • This recipe also works to make waffles in a waffle iron. No modifications to the recipe!
    • I like to bulk prep these from time to time so I will have enough for the rest of the week or freeze the extras to have a quick breakfast on those busy mornings.

  • Simple Whipped Cream

    Here’s a super simple recipe that I always seem to need just to check the ratios. It is a quick and easy recipe that will only take a few minutes but those few minutes make such a better product than anything you can get from the store. Just throw all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk together and you have the start of a great dessert, a topping for your coffee or pancakes, or just eat it as a treat!

    Tips and Tricks

    • Any tips of sugar will work with this recipe but powdered sugar will give the most consistent results. I mostly use powdered sugar but if the whipped cream will be going on a cinnamon coffee, I will use brown sugar. It is a fun factor to mess with and try with different things!
    • Another fun swap is to change out the vanilla extract for different syrups. I’ve used both mint and a cinnamon syrup with this recipe to change up the flavors. It makes it really fun then!
    • I honestly love to make this and pair it with fruit to make a fun dessert. It tastes like a dessert and not completely terrible for you. It makes for a good middle ground.
    • Be careful not to overwhip the heavy cream as that can create butter and I’m guessing that’s not what your looking for.

    The Recipe

    Simple Whipped Cream

    • Servings: 2 Cups of Whipped Cream
    • Print

    With just three ingredients and a few minutes you can have perfect whipped cream that has so many different uses!




    Ingredients

    • 240 ml (1 cup) of Heavy Whipping Cream
    • 20 g (2.5 tbsp) of Powdered Sugar
    • 1/2 tsp of Pure Vanilla Extract

    Directions

    1. Add in all ingredients into a bowl and with a stand mixer or hand held mixer whisk on medium high speed for 3 to 5 minutes.
    2. You’ll know when its close when you stop mixing for a moment and the cream will have these peaks that start to stand on there own.
    3. Once the peaks fully stand and don’t drop very much, you have made whipped cream!
    4. Place into a container and refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

  • Peanut Butter Cup Protein Balls

    Have you been craving a peanut butter cup but worried about the high calories and lack of protein? Then I have the treat for you! These small snack sized protein balls will be perfect! Its the right blend of chocolate and peanut butter that you have been wanting and they won’t ruin your diet. With just a few simple ingredients you probably have in the pantry and just a few minutes of your time, you will have a tasty snack that you’ll want to make often!

    Tips and Tricks

    • The most common error with this recipe is too much milk. I would recommend adding 20 ml of the milk, mixing, add 5 ml, mixing, and then repeat until these form the correct texture. If you add too much, the batter will be wet and won’t form into balls. If that happens, don’t worry. Just take your batter and press into a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. That way after the chilling, you can pull them out of the freezer and cut them into bite sized chunks. They will taste the exact same but they just wont be as pretty.
    • It might be worth it to make a double batch because from personal experience, they disappear in a few days. They go even faster if you share them with other people.

  • Monster Cookie Protein Balls

    I’m back with a variation on my protein ball recipe! The change with these is the peanut butter protein powder and the mini M&M’s. With that small change, these taste just like a monster cookie but a lot healthier and in bite sized form. Perfect for a quick snack around a workout or to get you through to your next meal. If you love peanut butter, these are the ones for you.

    Tips and Tricks

    • The most common error with this recipe is too much milk. I would recommend adding 20 ml of the milk, mixing, add 5 ml, mixing, and then repeat until these form the correct texture.

That way after the chilling, you can pull them out of the freezer and cut them into bite sized chunks. They will taste the exact same but they just wont be as pretty.
    • I highly recommend trying to find mini peanut butter M&Ms for this recipe. They go almost too perfectly and make it taste so good. I can’t say enough how good it works.
    • It might be worth it to make a double batch because from personal experience, they disappear in a few days. They go even faster if you share them with other people.

    One item to note on this recipe is you do not want to add too much liquid. If you add too much milk these will be really hard to roll into balls. If you do that, don’t worry, there is an easy fix. I take a small container, line it with parchment paper and press the batter into it. I then let it chill as normal but after the hour passes, I cut them into squares and they taste the exact same. A quick fix for a common mistake! It probably happens to me half of the times I make these.
