Mummy Cookies Recipe

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store leftover Mummy Cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. I don’t recommend refrigerating them as the eyes don’t do well in the damp environment of the refrigerator. They tend to bleed and weap a bit.

Can I freeze Mummy Cookies?

Yes, you can freeze these cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and they will keep for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before eating.

BUT – as I mentioned above – the eyes don’t do well in a damp environment. SOOOOO – I recommend storing them without the eyes and adding them right before serving.

Ingredients for Mummy Cookies

Ingredients for Mummy Cookies

  • Nutter Butter cookies
  • almond bark
  • white chocolate chips
  • candy eyeballs

What is the best chocolate for dipping cookies?

While you can use chocolate chips to make these, I have found that it often requires a bit of coconut oil or shortening to get the chocolate to melt to the right consistency.

I like to use candy melts because the chocolate is made with just the right formula so that it performs exactly as needed.

The candy melts come in a multitude of colors, varieties, and flavors so the sky is the limit on what you can do with them when it comes to making chocolate-coated goodies.

We made this recipe using almond bark and then used white chocolate chips to make the mummy part. You can sub candy melts for the almond bark and the white chocolate chips if you want to make this recipe even easier.

We used the almond bark because it comes in large quantities, making it easy to melt a lot of it at one time.

How to Make Mummy Cookies

How to Make Mummy Cookies

  1. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds and mix. Repeat until all the bark is melted.
  2. Place the nutter butter cookies into the melted bark. Use tongs to press the cookies into the melted chocolate and fully coat the cookies. Remove the cookies and place them onto the parchment paper.
  3. Allow the chocolate coating to completely cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Once the bark is completely cooled melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish for 20 seconds and mix. Repeat until all the chocolate chips are melted. **See notes in post for melting tips.
  5. Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag. Cut the tip or the corner of the bag depending on how thick you want your mummy stripes to be.
  6. Pipe the white chocolate over the cookies in a back and forth zigzag pattern to create the look of a mummy.
  7. Complete the mummies by adding two candy eyes.

Why didn’t my chocolate wafers melt correctly?

When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate is seized.  This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam. 

In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate. 

Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.

Peanut Butter White Chocolate Cookies

Can I use sugar-free chocolate?

I haven’t tried using sugar-free chocolate. But I think that will work just fine. That being said – you would need to also find some carb-friendly cookies in a similar shape to make these low-carb altogether.

Are Mummy Cookies Easy to Make?

If cake pops, chocolate truffles, or other chocolate-dipped treats intimidate you, don’t fret! These chocolate-covered Nutter Butter cookies are SO much quicker and easier and you can customize them a million ways.

These little cookies decorated like mummies take very little time to make start to finish and are perfect for packaging up in Halloween treat bags for the little ones!

Can Kids Help Make Them?

Yes, this is a great activity to do with kids. They will have fun helping to decorate the cookies, dipping, adding the drizzle, and the eyes. Just be sure an adult handles melting the chocolate as the bowl can get quite hot.

making pumpkin bread in the air fryer

Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover pumpkin quick bread?

Wrap the bread in plastic wrap or cover the loaf pan with foil and keep it at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate if you prefer.

Can this air fryer quick bread be frozen?

Yes, I do it often. If you plan on making ahead and saving – just wait for the loves to cool to room temperature. Then remove them from the loaf pans, wrap each of them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in zip-top bags. Freeze for up to 4 months.

How Air Frying Works

While air fryers are relatively new to the market, the technology isn’t really a new concept. They basically work like tiny convection ovens that you can use on your countertop.

Similar to a convection oven, it circulates the hot air within the cooking area using a high-powered fan. This helps evenly distribute the heat around the food which not only creates more evenly cooked food but also reduced cooking times.

By circulating the hot air, which contains the fine oil droplets from adding a light mist layer before cooking, and allows you to remove the need for submerging our foods in heavy oils to create the deliciously crunchy foods we all love.

recipe for air fryer pumpkin bread

Ingredients for Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients for Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread

  • pumpkin puree – not pie filling
  • eggs
  • vegetable oil
  • granulated sugar
  • all-purpose flour
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • ground cinnamon
  • pumpkin spice blend

Why do I need pumpkin puree instead of pie filling?

This is really important when making pumpkin recipes. Pay close attention to the recipe & see if it calls for one or the other.

This recipe calls for pumpkin puree, which is just pumpkin that is cooked & pureed. Pumpkin pie filling is the puree mixed with sweeteners & spices – which isn’t what is usually called for when it comes to most recipes that use pumpkin.

They are not usually interchangeable because it will change the flavor & possibly the consistency of the recipe you are making.

Air Frying Doneness Tip

Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates – so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.

You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.

How to Make Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread

How to Make Air Fryer Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 330 degrees.
  2. Prepare four mini loaf pans by lightly spraying with cooking oil or add a coat of baker’s release.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: pumpkin, eggs, and vegetable oil.
  4. In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and seasonings.
  5. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until mixed. Don’t over-work the batter.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared mini loaf pans.
  7. Bake in the air fryer for 35 to 45 minutes, depending on the wattage. Test the middle of the bread with a toothpick. The bread is done when a toothpick returns clean and somewhat dry. (The pumpkin can tint the toothpick orange if it isn’t done.) You can also lightly press in the center of the loaf – if it springs back, the bread is done.
  8. If the bread is browning too much but needs to cook longer, tent it with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.

I have a bake option and other special features on my air fryer, is that the setting? Or do you put it on “air fry” setting?

All of my recipes were created with an air fryer that had only a temperature & timer setting – since not all air fryers have all the additional settings.

You can use the bake setting when making recipes that you would traditionally bake – but if possible, please just set the temperature & time for this recipe.

What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?

I understand that you might not keep pumpkin pie spice on hand – or maybe you used so much last season that you may have run out. No problem – just blend the following ingredients together and you will have your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.

  • 1/3 cup cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp each of ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves
  • 2 tsp Allspice
Mixing the Bread batter

What other recipes can be made with pumpkin?

We love pumpkin recipes in this house – so we definitely have a lot of recommendations on what to make using pumpkin. Here is a small list of our favorites.

Can these loaves be made in the oven?

I have not tested this recipe in the oven. If you would like to make traditional, EASY pumpkin bread in your oven – try this super simple pumpkin bread recipe here.

How to prevent sticking in the air fryer

Sticking can often happen when using an air fryer. I understand that most would think to add non-stick spray to the basket to prevent this. I strongly encourage you to not do that.

Non-stick spray leaves a coating that won’t come off, even when washed. Over time – this will build up and cause smoking when you use our air fryer.

I also do not recommend putting down a sheet of foil. The idea behind air frying is to allow the air to circulate around the food.

This is why the basket or tray has holes in it. If you put foil down – this prevents the air from reaching all of the areas it needs to in order for it to cook properly.

Instead – I recommend spraying the basket with olive oil using this spray bottle. You can line the air fryer with perforated parchment paper.

Or you can use one of these really great silicone liners that still allow for airflow but are reusable and easily cleanable.

Mini Loaves Pumpkin Quick Bread

How long does pumpkin bread last in the freezer?

Pumpkin bread will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. When you’re ready to enjoy it, simply thaw the bread at room temperature or pop it in the microwave for a quick defrost.

What is bakers release?

Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.

To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1. 

  • equal parts of all-purpose flour, shortening, and cooking oil – I like to do 1 cup of each.

Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.

How do you keep pumpkin bread moist after baking?

Pumpkin bread is best kept moist by storing it in an airtight container. You can also wrap the bread in foil or plastic wrap to help keep the moisture in.

Be sure to only slice what you plan on eating immediately. Just like a standard loaf of bread – it can dry out quickly once sliced. You can always reserve the heel of these just as you would regular bread to help keep the inner slices moist for longer.

Pumpkin Bread Batter

Why did my bread flatten instead of dome once baked?

The dome of the bread is what makes it beautiful. Often times this can happen if the loaf pans aren’t filled high enough. Sometimes this can also happen if the sides are greased too much, giving little for the batter to hold onto as it is rising during the baking process.

Another thing that could be happening is that your leavening agent – in this case, the baking soda could be old. You want to make sure that it isn’t more than a few months old or it could hinder the rise when making bread.

If you have checked all of these things and your loaves are still flattening, it could be an elevation issue. To help combat this, try adding another half to 1 whole additional teaspoon of baking soda or even a teaspoon of baking powder to help that bread rise.

What air fryer do you use?

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.

But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.

Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.

But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!

Recipe for Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store leftover Chicken and Mushroom Soup

If you have any leftover Chicken and Mushroom Soup, it is important to store it properly in order to maintain its quality and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to six months.

When storing leftover soup in the fridge, be sure to place it in an airtight container. This will help to keep the soup fresh and prevent it from absorbing any odors from other food in the fridge. If you are freezing the soup, be sure to first place it in a freezer-safe container before transferring it to the freezer.

When reheating Chicken and Mushroom Soup, be sure to do so slowly and gently. Reheating too quickly can cause the soup to become watery and lose flavor. If reheating in the microwave, be sure to stop and stir the soup occasionally to help evenly distribute the heat.

Can I change the protein in this soup?

Yes – of course! If you want to speed the process along, you can use leftover rotisserie chicken or canned chicken if that is what you have.

I also recommend dicing up pork or adding ground sausage to this soup. So good!

Can I use canned or frozen vegetables in this soup?

Yes – you can mix a variety of vegetables as needed. So you can use any canned, frozen, or fresh – whatever you have will work.

Ingredients for Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Ingredients for Chicken and Mushroom Soup

  • chicken breasts – boneless, skinless – cut into bite-size pieces
  • olive oil
  • butter
  • garlic cloves – minced
  • onion – diced
  • carrots – diced
  • celery – diced
  • mushrooms – thinly sliced
  • dried thyme
  • dried rosemary
  • oregano
  • chili flakes – optional
  • black pepper – divided
  • salt – divided
  • all-purpose flour
  • chicken stock
  • bay leaf
  • half and half
  • chopped parsley

Can I use heavy cream in place of the half and half?

You bet that will work just fine. Just know that it will make the soup thicker AND increase the calories when making that swap.

What to serve with Chicken and Mushroom Soup

There are many different things that you can serve with Chicken and Mushroom Soup. Some good options include:

Cooking Chicken for soup

Can this recipe be doubled?

In theory, yes, this recipe would double well. If you have a very large stockpot, you can double this recipe on the stovetop.

How to Make Chicken and Mushroom Soup

  1. In a bowl season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, to taste.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, add the chicken pieces, and cook until golden (about 2-3 min), once done transfer the chicken onto a plate.
  3. In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Next add the onions, carrots, and celery, cook for 2-3 minutes then add the mushrooms and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, chili flakes, black pepper, and salt; give it a good mix.
  6. Now, add the all-purpose flour and sauté everything until the flour is lightly browned for about 1 minute.
  7. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, and cooked chicken pieces; let it cook for 5-6 minutes stirring continuously.
  8. Stir in the half and half and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  9. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.

Can this be made vegetarian?

Yes – you can make this vegetarian. Just eliminate the chicken and use veggie broth – super easy!

cooking veggies for soup

How to make slow cooker chicken and mushroom soup?

You can do this by following the recipe here – only you will add the cooked ingredients to the slow cooker instead of to the pot on the stove.

Place the lid on the crockpot, turn it to high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours, and cook until the veggies are soft. If you want to add the chicken to the slow cooker when it is raw, instead of sauteeing it first – you will need to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7.

Can I add additional vegetables to Chicken and Mushroom Soup?

A: Yes, you can add additional vegetables to the soup if desired. Adding more mushrooms or chicken would be a good option too.

Dairy-free milk you can use

  • Soy
  • Almond

Just know that by swapping out the half and half with one of these options will make the soup thinner. You might need to add more flour or even a cornstarch slurry to help thicken it to your liking.

Recipe to Make Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

Here are some commonly asked questions

What are Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert?

This spooky and delicious dessert is perfect for any Halloween party! It’s made with a chocolate pudding base and topped with a layer of Oreo crumbs. Finally, it’s topped with tombstone cookies, gummy worms, and ghosts made from whipped topping!

How to store leftover Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

To store your leftover Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert, simply place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply remove them from the fridge and enjoy!

Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert Ingredients

Ingredients for Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

  • instant chocolate pudding mix
  • cold milk
  • whipped topping – thawed – part of one for decorations
  • Oreo cookies crumbs

Decorations

  • Milano cookies
  • chocolate-covered graham crackers
  • gummy worms
  • chocolate almond bark – to make trees optional
  • black writing gel
  • white writing gel or confectioner’s sugar and milk **see instructions
  • candy eyes for ghosts

Do I have to use Whipped Topping?

This can be made with homemade stabilized whipped cream. But this recipe won’t work with regular whipped cream. It needs to be stabilized so that it won’t turn the pudding into a soup and the ghosts will hold their shape.

How to serve Ghosts in the Graveyard

  • large glass bowl
  • 9×13 pan
  • individual serving cups – as shown here
How to Make Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

How to Make Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

Pudding Base

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth.
  2. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to set, for about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from the refrigerator and fold in the whipped topping.
  4. Place it back in the refrigerator to chill for about 10-15 minutes (longer is fine).
  5. Create the decorations while the pudding mixture is chilling **instructions below.
  6. Divide the pudding mixture into serving dishes or a 9×13 glass dish **see notes.
  7. Add 6-8 Oreo cookies to the food processor and crush them into crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the cookie crumbs over the pudding mixture and then add the decorations you have created.

Trees

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add 2-3 blocks of the almond bark to a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, remove and stir.
  4. Continue cooking for 10-20 seconds at a time until the chocolate is almost melted. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Transfer the chocolate to a plastic decorator bag or resealable bag and snip off a very small amount of the tip of the bag .
  6. Create the trees by piping melted chocolate onto the parchment paper.
  7. Let set for 10-15 minutes or until hardened.

Tombstones

  1. For the white frosting for writing, mix together 1 cup confectioner’s sugar and about 1-2 teaspoons of milk until smooth. You need the frosting to be very thick so begin with a very small amount of milk and gradually add a tiny bit at a time until the consistency is good for writing.
  2. Write years and/or RIP on the Milano cookies or chocolate-covered graham crackers.

Decorate

  1. Add decorations to pudding mixtures.
  2. Add gummy worms if you like.

Ghosts

  1. Place a portion of the whipped topping in a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  2. Pipe the whipped topping into a ghost shape on top of the assembled graveyard.
  3. Once piped – gently press the candy eyes on the ghosts OR you can use the remaining melted chocolate in the piping bag to pipe on the face of the ghosts.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it. Simply prepare the base pudding portion of the dessert as directed, then add a layer of plastic wrap on top and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.

When you’re ready to serve, simply remove it from the fridge, and add the toppings fresh! I don’t recommend adding the crumbs, cookies, or gummy worms before storing them in the fridge. Those ingredients don’t keep well in the refrigerator.

Reasons to love Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert

  • kid-friendly
  • can be made ahead
  • can be made with a variety of flavors to change it up – try all your favorite candies
  • a fun treat for the kids to put together themselves
  • great for a Halloween party

Can this be made with cook and serve pudding?

I suppose you can do that if that is all you can find. The pudding will need to be completely cooked, cooled, and chilled before you can proceed to add the whipped topping.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover pumpkin pancakes?

Place any leftover pumpkin pancakes in an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to serve again. To reheat, vent the container by popping the lid and then microwave for 60-90 seconds or until hot.

How do I get the fluffiest pancakes?

The fluffiness of pancakes comes from the baking powder, so it is important that your baking powder is not old. You also want to mix the batter just until the flour is mixed in, as overmixing will increase the gluten, which will result in chewy pancakes instead of fluffy.

What to serve with pumpkin pancakes

Ingredients for Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients for Pumpkin Pancakes

  • all-purpose flour
  • brown sugar
  • baking powder
  • baking soda
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • ground cinnamon
  • salt
  • milk
  • pumpkin puree
  • egg
  • vegetable or canola oil
  • white vinegar
  • vanilla extract
  • nonstick cooking spray or butter for the pan or griddle

Optional Pancake Toppings

How do I reheat the pancakes?

Microwave: Reheat in 15-second intervals until hot.

Skillet: Melt butter over medium-low heat, then add pancakes and cook until warm.

Oven: 350°F (177°C) for 10 minutes.

Add additional time if cooking from frozen.

How to make Pumpkin Pancakes

Variations

  • Chocolate Chips – Scoop pancake batter onto the hot griddle, then sprinkle chocolate chips over each one.
  • Caramel – Stir 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the batter with the other wet ingredients.
  • Nuts – Scoop pancake batter onto the hot griddle, then sprinkle chopped walnuts over each one.

How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a different bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, pumpkin, egg, oil, vinegar, and vanilla until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk or stir until mixed. Small lumps are acceptable but all large lumps should be gone.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle to approximately 300 degrees. Prepare the skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  5. Ladle the pancake batter onto the prepared cooking surface leaving room for the pancakes to spread slightly.
  6. Cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbles pop to the top. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the pancakes are cooked through.
  7. Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup or your choice of toppings.

Why are my pancakes sticking to the pan?

If you did not preheat your pan to a high enough heat or coat it with enough butter then the batter could stick to the pan.

pumpkin pancake batter

Can I freeze the pancakes?

Pancakes freeze wonderfully! It is best to flash freeze them by placing them in a single row on a parchment-lined plate for an hour. Once they have partially frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or ziptop bag and return to the freezer for up to 3 months.

I like to place a piece of parchment or wax paper in-between the pancakes so I can stack them when frozen. This helps when I only want to thaw a couple of them for a smaller breakfast.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

Yes – a sugar substitute will work just fine. Just make sure it is a 1:1 swap for the regular version that way the dry and wet mixture ratios aren’t off when mixing all of the ingredients together.

This twist on the classic hot dog adds a delicious and slightly salty flavor that will keep you coming back for more. Plus, they’re really easy to make – just follow these simple steps and you’ll be ready to go!

We made sure to include recipes for making them in the oven or air fryer as well as the standard dough recipe using crescent rolls AND a homemade keto-friendly pretzel dough too.

Pretzel Dog recipe using Crescent Rolls

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store leftover Pretzel Dogs

Place your leftover Pretzel Dogs in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.

How many Pretzel Dogs can I eat in one sitting?

We recommend no more than 2-3 Pretzel Dogs per person, depending on your appetite.

What’s the best way to reheat a leftover Pretzel Dog?

For best results, reheat your Pretzel Dog in the oven or microwave before serving.

ingredients for Pretzel Dogs

Ingredients for Low-Carb Keto-Friendly Pretzel Dogs

  • hot dogs
  • cream cheese – cubed
  • mozzarella cheese
  • egg
  • almond flour
  • baking soda

Topping

  • egg – beaten
  • Sesame seed/poppy seed blend optional

Can I make Pretzel Dogs ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the Pretzel Dogs ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them before serving.

Notes for Making the Best Pretzel Dogs

  • Lightly coat hands with oil to manage the sticky dough easier. 
  • If using hot dogs that plump, be aware of wrapping the dough around them too tightly as the hotdogs may burst the dough as they cook.
  • Try using everything but the bagel seasoning as a topper instead of the sesame/poppy seeds for additional flavor.
  • These are delicious on their own but fun for dipping in ketchup or mustard or both!
low carb dough

How to Make Low-Carb Keto-Friendly Pretzel Dogs

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
  2. Remove the sausages/hot dogs from their package and dry them with a paper towel. Set aside.
  3. In a medium microwaveable bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave on high for 90 seconds and stir. The cheese should be completely melted, cook for an additional 20 seconds if needed.
  4. Add the melted cheese to a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
  5. Add the almond flour and baking soda, and process it until you have a sticky dough (it will be very sticky).
  6. Scrape the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and divide it into 8 even pieces to be rolled into small balls.
  7. Using one ball at a time, roll the dough into a long rope, approximately 12”.
  8. Begin rounding the rope around the length of the sausage/hot dog, leaving about ½” of meat visible on each end. Place on a prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sausages/hot dogs.
  9. Add the toppings.

How to Make Pretzel Dogs in the Oven

Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until golden brown. Rotating each hot dog every 3-4 minutes will result in a nice even brown color on all sides of the hot dog.

how to make keto pretzel dough

Ingredients for Pretzel Dogs

  • hot dogs
  • crescent rolls – refrigerated

What kind of mustard should I use on my Pretzel Dog?

We recommend using classic yellow mustard, but feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors.

Can I freeze my Pretzel Dogs?

Yes, you can freeze your leftover Pretzel Dogs for up to 2 months. Just thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.

What to serve with Pretzel Dogs

Pretzel Dogs are usually served with a side of chips or fries. But feel free to get creative and experiment with other sides like salad, coleslaw, or even macaroni and cheese. Here are some of our favorites to serve with these.

keto low-carb pretzel dough

How to Make Pretzel Dogs

  1. Remove the hot dogs from packing and set them aside, you want the hot dogs dry.
  2. Remove the rolls from the can and flatten each group of rolls by unrolling but not separating the group of rolls. Pinch close the perforations. Place between two sheets of parchment and roll flat to 1/8” thick.
  3. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips. Make the strips un-uniform between 1/8” to 1/4” wide.
  4. Wrap each hot dog in using the strips of dough. The dough will expand slightly so beware of too much bunching or overlapping. The hot dog should be visible throughout.
  5. Place on the baking sheet and add the toppings.

Topping

  1. In a small bowl, beat one egg. Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash and brush the surface of each bagel dog.

This easy recipe for Pretzel Dogs makes a tasty game-day snack! Included are instructions for standard and low-carb, keto-friendly versions!
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine: American
Keyword: air fried, air fryer, bagel, baked, hot dog, pretzel
Servings: 8
Calories: 466kcal

Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

Low-Carb/Keto

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 2 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 ¼ cups almond flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Standard

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 oz crescent rolls – refrigerated

Topping

  • 1 egg beaten
  • Sesame seed/poppy seed blend optional

Instructions

Low-Carb/Keto

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • Remove the sausages/hot dogs from their package and dry them with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • In a medium microwaveable bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese. Microwave on high for 90 seconds and stir. The cheese should be completely melted, cook for an additional 20 seconds if needed.
  • Add the melted cheese in a food processor with the egg and process until smooth.
  • Add the almond flour and baking soda, process it until you have a sticky dough (it will be very sticky).
  • Scrape the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and divide into 8 even pieces to be rolled into small balls.
  • Using one ball at a time, roll the dough into a long rope, approximately 12”.
  • Begin rounding the rope around the length of the sausage/hot dog, leaving about ½” of meat visible on each end. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining sausages/hot dogs.
  • Add the toppings.

Standard

  • Remove the hot dogs from packing and set them aside, you want the hot dogs dry.
  • Remove the rolls from the can and flatten each group of rolls by unrolling but not separating the group of rolls. Pinch close the perforations. Place between two sheets of parchment and roll flat to 1/8” thick.
  • Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips. Make the strips un-uniform between 1/8” to 1/4” wide.
  • Wrap each hot dog in using the strips of dough. The dough will expand slightly so beware of too much bunching or overlapping. The hot dog should be visible throughout.
  • Place on the baking sheet and add the toppings.

Topping

  • In a small bowl, beat one egg. Dip a pastry brush into the egg wash and brush the surface of each bagel dog.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds if desired.

Oven-Baked

  • Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until golden brown. Rotating each hot dog every 3-4 minutes will result in a nice even brown color on all sides of the hot dog.

Air Fryer

  • Place the wrapped hot dogs in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook at 350 for 12-15 minutes until the dough is cooked and slightly golden.

Pressure Cooker Chicken and Dumplings

Here are some commonly asked questions

How to store Chicken and Dumplings?

Chicken and dumplings can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. To store, place the cooled chicken and dumplings in an airtight container. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Can I make this with turkey?

Yes, you can definitely make turkey and dumplings! Just follow the same instructions but use turkey breasts instead of chicken. Yum!

My dumplings are falling apart, what did I do wrong?

There are a few things that could cause this. One possibility is that you didn’t add enough flour to the dough. Another possibility is that you overworked the dough which made the gluten too tough.

Can I make this with a slow cooker?

Yes, you can make chicken and dumplings in a slow cooker. Just follow the same instructions but cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Note – you will need to saute the veggies in a skillet on the stovetop before adding them to the slow cooker and continuing the process with the chicken and the dumplings.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

Ingredients for Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

Dumplings

  • all-purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • cold butter
  • milk

Chicken

  • olive oil – You can also use butter + olive oil for extra flavor
  • onion – chopped
  • carrots – chopped
  • celery – chopped
  • garlic – minced
  • chicken breasts – boneless / skinless
  • potatoes – peeled and chopped into bite-sized cubes- OPTIONAL
  • Italian seasoning
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • chicken broth
  • cornstarch
  • water
  • peas – frozen

What can I use instead of chicken broth?

If you don’t have chicken broth on hand, you can use water or vegetable broth. However, using water will result in a more bland soup. So, if you go this route, you may want to add some additional seasonings to the soup.

Can I make this without the dumplings?

Yes, you can certainly make chicken soup without the dumplings. Just follow the same instructions but omit the dumpling dough. You could also add some cooked rice or noodles to the soup instead of dumplings. Enjoy!

how to make Chicken and Dumplings

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings

Dumplings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the cold butter and mix everything with the help of your hands or a pastry blender. Mix until the butter pieces are very small.
  3. Pour milk and mix until the dough comes together.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.

Chicken

  1. Set the instant pot on SAUTE function, and let it heat up. Add olive oil (or butter + olive oil) once the butter melts add onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until the veggies start to soften about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and sauté it for a few seconds.
  3. Add chicken breasts, potatoes, mixed Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; give a mix.
  4. Next, add chicken broth. Mix and let it bubble for a few minutes.
  5. Take the dough out of the fridge. Scoop one tablespoon of dumpling dough and place it on top of the broth.
  6. Close the lid and pressure valve. Select the PRESSURE COOK button on HIGH PRESSURE and cook for 10 minutes.
  7. Once the pressure-cooking cycle is over, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then quick release the remaining pressure.
  8. Open the lid and press the CANCEL button.
  9. Carefully take the chicken and dumplings out with the help of tongs.
  10. Shred the chicken breasts with a fork.
  11. Make a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water.
  12. Set the instant pot on SAUTE function.
  13. Add the frozen peas and stir to combine.
  14. Next, add the shredded chicken back to the INSTANT POT.
  15. Once the liquid starts to bubble, add the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the broth has thickened.
  16. CANCEL the SAUTE button.
  17. Return the dumplings to the pot just before serving.

Recipe Notes

  • You can store the chicken and dumplings in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, and around 2 months in the freezer. (Store dumplings and the soup separately).
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts if you want. The pressure cooking time and method should remain the same.
  • Optionally you can add 1-2 potatoes (peeled and chopped into bite-sized cubes) to make this recipe more filling. Use russet potatoes if you’re planning on adding potatoes because they’re starchier and therefore they will help make the soup more thick and creamy.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, chicken and dumplings can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To store, place the cooled chicken and dumplings in an airtight container. When ready to eat, reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Enjoy!

How do I make gluten-free dumplings?

There are a few ways to make gluten-free dumplings. One option is to use a gluten-free flour blend in place of the regular flour.

Another option is to use potato starch or tapioca flour in place of the regular flour. These egg dumplings will be more delicate but still delicious! Enjoy!

how to make dumplings

What size Instant Pot do you use for this recipe?

I am currently using an 8-quart pot, but this recipe can be made in the 6-quart pot too. If you have one of the smaller versions (3-quart mini), I recommend cutting this recipe in half.

What is the difference between a pressure cooker and an instant pot?

By today’s definition, they are virtually the same – if you are talking about an electric pressure cooker. However, a traditional pressure cooker and an instant pot are two different cooking methods.

A traditional pressure cooker is a sealed metal container that cooks food quickly by steam under increased atmospheric pressure and heats the pot to boiling point.

An Instant Pot, on the other hand, is an electric-style pressure cooker that uses the same idea for cooking foods but can do so with very little liquid. They are incredibly efficient, safer than a traditional pressure cooker, and super easy to use too. Plus they come with a multitude of other functions making them great for quick meal prep.

Here are my favorite Instant Pot Tools and Accessories!

  1. Instant Pot
  2. Non-Stick Instant Pot Insert with Silicone Lid
  3. Accessory Set
  4. Glass Lid
  5. Sealing Rings
  6. Silicone Egg Bites Mold
  7. Large Mesh Steamer Basket
  8. Complete Cook & Bake Set

Apple Cinnamon Muffin Recipe

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover muffins?

When stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag, these muffins will keep for up to 5 days at room temperature. If required, you may refrigerate them to extend their shelf life by another few days.

I recommend refrigeration if you live in a hot or humid climate.

Can these muffins be frozen?

Yes! These muffins freeze very well. I recommend waiting until they’ve completely cooled before wrapping them. Then wrap each one individually with plastic wrap.

Then place them in a zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving again.

ingredients for Basic Muffin Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Muffins

  • all-purpose flour
  • granulated sugar
  • salt
  • baking powder
  • oil – vegetable or canola
  • egg – lightly beaten
  • milk
  • grated apple – granny smith is best
  • ground cinnamon

Apple Equivalents & Measures – rough estimates

  • 1 bushel of apples is the dry equivalent to 2 gallons of produce
  • 2 large apples = 1 pound
  • 3-4 medium apples = 1 pound
  • 3 cups cored, sliced or chopped apples = 1 pound
  • 1-1/3 cups applesauce = 1 pound of apples
  • 1 pound dried apples = 8 cups cooked apples
  • 1 pound dried apples = 4 1/3 cups
  • 4 pounds fresh apples = 1 pound dried apples
  • 4 pounds of fresh apples = 4 cups of applesauce
  • 1/2 cup mashed apples = 1 medium apple
  • 3/4 cup cored, chopped apples = 1 medium apple
  • 1 cup cored, sliced apples = 1 medium apple
  • 2 pounds fresh apples = filling for ONE 9″ pie
  • Small apples are approx 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
  • Medium apples are approx 2 3/4 inches in diameter.
  • Large apples are approx 3 3/4 inches in diameter.

how to make Basic Muffins

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Muffins

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place liners in a muffin tin.
  3. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  4. Pour the oil into a 1 cup glass measuring cup.
  5. Beat the egg and then add it to the oil.
  6. Fill the measuring cup to the 1 cup mark with the milk.
  7. Beat until well combined.
  8. Add that wet ingredient mixture to dry ingredients and stir until well combined, but don’t over mix.
  9. Stir in the apples and cinnamon.
  10. Divide the batter into the muffin tin, filling each well ⅔ full.
  11. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  13. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Can these muffins be made in a mini muffin pan?

You can certainly make mini muffins by using a mini muffin pan. The bake time will be shorter, so keep an eye on them and check for doneness earlier than the recipe indicates.

easy apple muffins

muffin dry ingredients

Do I need to use paper liners when baking muffins?

No, you don’t need to use paper liners with muffins. They can aid in the prevention of muffin sticking and make cleanup a little easier.

If you don’t have paper liners, you can also grease the muffin pan with some butter or cooking spray. I like to use my own homemade baker’s release.

Tips for the Best Muffins

  • All-purpose flour is a great neutral flour to use in this recipe. Just makes sure you’re measuring it correctly using the spoon and level technique.
  • I opted for granulated sugar because it sweetens the muffins but feel free to substitute light brown sugar if desired.
  • The baking powder helps the muffins rise.
  • The eggs hold the muffins together.
  • Vegetable oil adds richness and helps keep the muffins moist.
  • You can add vanilla as it will enhance the flavor of the muffins.

What is bakers release?

Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.

To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1. 

  • equal parts of all-purpose flour, shortening, and cooking oil – I like to do 1 cup of each.

Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.

mixing muffin batter

How to make muffins moist?

There are a few key ingredients that will help to keep your muffins moist, even when stored. Be sure to use yogurt, milk, or buttermilk in the recipe. Adding oil or melted butter will also add moisture. Finally, don’t overmix the batter – mix just until combined.

Can I use different flour?

Yes, you can use a different flour, but it will affect the texture of the muffins. I would recommend using a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour if you need to make these muffins gluten-free. You could also use whole wheat flour, but the muffins will be denser.

batter for making muffins

Can I add chocolate chips?

Yes! You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or any other mix-ins that you like. Be sure to fold them into the batter gently so that they don’t sink to the bottom.

What to serve with these muffins

There’s really no limit to what you can serve alongside these muffins – but here is a list of our most-served recipes that we pair with them.

Best Recipe for Making Asparagus in the Oven

Here are some commonly asked questions

How do I know when my grilled asparagus is done cooking?

When the asparagus is fork-tender, it’s done. Fork-tender means that a fork can be pushed through one of the spears with only some force.

This implies that they are not limp and falling apart when you poke them with a fork. Rather, they hold together when picked up by one end and do not crumble away when handled carefully.

What type of main dish does this recipe go with the best?

Here are some ideas for what to serve with roasted asparagus:

As you can see, there are many options for the main dish to serve with roasted asparagus. It really depends on what you and your guests are in the mood for.

If you want something light, chicken or fish might be a good option. If you’re looking for something a little more hearty, try pork or beef. No matter what you choose, your guests are sure to enjoy it!

Spanakopita Recipe

When planning my menu for the holidays, I usually start testing recipes in the late summer to early fall. Most of the time I have a list of things that I want to either try for the first time, an old recipe from grandma’s book that needs a bit of work, or something that we have been making for forever that just needs to be photographed.

This spinach pie was a recipe that I found in grandma’s book that I remembered from childhood. So I had some friends over to help me whip it up and then enjoy it later that day.

I’m so glad I did – this recipe is such a classic that should be at every holiday table. I know you’ll love it as much as we do.

Spanakopita Puff Pastry

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is Spanakopita?

Traditionally, spanakopita is a Greek dish made with phyllo dough, spinach, and feta cheese. The dough is layered with the spinach and cheese filling, then baked until golden brown. While there are many variations of this dish, the classic version is still one of the most popular.

Whether you’re looking for a traditional spanakopita recipe or something with a modern twist, this recipe is sure to please. From easy spanakopita pies to bite-sized phyllo cups, there’s something for everyone. Give it a try and see for yourself!

What recipes are similar to Spanakopita?

There are many similar recipes to spanakopita, such as tiropita (a cheese pie), bougatsa (a custard-filled pastry), and various other pies and pastries made with phyllo dough. If you’re looking for something similar to spanakopita but with a different flavor profile, these recipes are worth trying.

Bougatsa: This custard-filled pastry is popular in Greece and Cyprus. It is made with phyllo dough that is filled with a semolina custard and baked until golden brown.

Ingredients for Spanakopita

Ingredients for Spanakopita Recipe

  • olive oil
  • onion – chopped
  • green onions – sliced
  • garlic – minced
  • fresh spinach
  • eggs
  • ricotta cheese
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • dill weed
  • puff pastry

Difference between phyllo dough and puff pastry

Phyllo dough and puff pastry dough are both types of dough that are used in a variety of recipes, such as pies, pastries, and tarts. They are similar in that they are both light and flaky, but there are some key differences between them.

Phyllo dough is made with flour, water, and fat, but no yeast. This dough is rolled out very thin and is used in many Greek and Middle Eastern dishes.

Puff pastry dough is made with flour, water, fat, and yeast. This dough is also rolled out very thin, but it has a higher fat content than phyllo dough. This makes puff pastry dough more puff and flaky than phyllo dough.

Both types of dough can be used in a variety of recipes, but they will produce different results. If you’re looking for a light and flaky dough, phyllo dough is the way to go. If you’re looking for a dough that is more puffy and flaky, puff pastry dough is the way to go.

how to make filling for Spanakopita

How to Make Spanakopita Recipe

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Line a 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper. Spritz with cooking oil.
  3. In an extra-large skillet over medium heat, pour 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat. Add the onion, green onions, and garlic, cooking until the onions are soft.
  4. Add the spinach in batches, cooking until it wilts. Remove from the heat.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, feta cheese, salt, black pepper, and dill weed.
  6. Stir the cheese mixture into the spinach mixture until well blended.
  7. Place one sheet of the puff pastry in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  8. Add the spinach mixture and then top with the remaining sheet of puff pastry.
  9. Brush the top with the remaining olive oil.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Can this be made with Phyllo Dough instead?

Yes – traditionally this recipe would be made with phyllo dough. So you can definitely swap it out if you can find it in the store. We made it here with puff pastry because it is so much easier to find when shopping these days.

What are some tips for making Spanakopita?

Here are some tips to help you make the perfect spanakopita:

  • Use fresh spinach: This will ensure that your spanakopita is packed with flavor. If you can’t find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it first and squeeze out any excess water.
  • Use good quality feta cheese: This is a dish where you really want to use good quality feta cheese. The better the feta, the better your spanakopita will taste.
  • Don’t overdo it on the filling: You want to use just enough filling so that your spanakopita is hearty and satisfying, but not so much that it’s overly stuffed.
  • Use good quality phyllo dough or puff pastry: This will make a big difference in the overall quality of your spanakopita. If you can’t find good quality phyllo dough, you can make your own or use a store-bought puff pastry dough.
  • Don’t over-bake your spanakopita: You want the phyllo dough to be golden brown and crispy, but if you over-bake it, the dough will become dry and tough.

With these tips in mind, you’re sure to make the perfect spanakopita. Give it a try and see for yourself!

What to serve with Spanakopita?

Spanakopita is typically served as a main dish, but it can also be served as an appetizer or side dish. If you’re serving spanakopita as a main dish, it goes well with a salad and some crusty bread. See the below list for our favorites.

If you’re serving it as an appetizer or side dish, it goes well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki or hummus.

No matter how you serve it, spanakopita is sure to be a hit! Give it a try and see for yourself.

Apple Cider Donut Cake

By Kleinworth & Co 2 Comments

Fall is in the air and that means one thing – apple season! This Apple Cider Donut Cake is a delicious way to enjoy it. It’s perfect for a cozy autumn weekend morning or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

The cake is soft and moist, with the perfect hint of apple cider flavor. And the frosting is just icing on the cake (pun intended)! So grab your cider and get baking!

The best part is that this cake starts with a cake mix base, making the prep super quick and easy. You’ll love the taste and texture of this scrumptious treat.

Apple Cider Donut Cake

When it comes to fall, apple cider is where it’s at. We are absolutely bursting with apples here on the property. When fall comes around there is no shortage of ideas about what to do with all these apples.

Because we can only drink or store so much cider, I’m always making recipes to use it up and this cake is a perfect example. The sweetness and spice of the cider make this cake absolutely heavenly.

If you love all the flavors of fall – you will love this cake.

apple cider cake

Ingredients for Apple Cider Donut Cake

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can this cake be frozen?

Yes, I do it often. Once baked – this cake can be frozen at all stages of the creation process. I like to remove a freshly baked and cooled cake from the pan, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it for later use. (this is also handy when you want to work with cold cakes to keep the frosting from getting too soft.)

You can also gently wrap the completely decorated cake and freeze it until you need it.

FOR BEST RESULTS – WAIT TO ADD THE CINNAMON/SUGAR COATING UNTIL THE CAKE IS THAWED AND READY TO BE SERVED. The sugar will moisten in the damp environment of the freezer, causing it to seep and soak into the cake instead of keeping the desired texture for this cake.

Just make sure to thaw it in the fridge the night before as it does taste best when not frozen. I also like to leave it at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving so the frosting is more creamy than stiff.

What is bundt cake?

Basically, a bundt cake is a cake that is baked in a bundt pan. A bundt pan is a round, donut-shaped cake pan that was inspired by a traditional European cake known as Gugelhupf.

cake made with apple cider

Ingredients for Apple Cider Donut Cake

Cake

  • yellow cake mix
  • apple cider
  • apple sauce
  • large eggs
  • brown sugar
  • ground cinnamon
  • vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • unsalted butter – melted
  • granulated sugar
  • ground cinnamon

Glaze

  • confectioner’s sugar
  • apple cider

What type of cider should I use?

Typically in the fall, you can find gallons of cider at the market, farmer’s market, pumpkin patches, and so many other places. Anything you find there will work just fine for this recipe.

If you are blessed, like we are, to have apple trees on your property or you visit the local orchard and use those apples to make your own fresh cider – that will work too.

Can this be made with apple juice instead of cider?

Yes, apple juice will work. It might be a bit thinner than what you find with cider – so that could change the consistency of the batter and how the batter bakes.

Also, cider is packed full of spices and additional flavors that apple juice does not have. The cake will be lacking some of those great flavors if you use apple juice.

Sugared Cake

How to Make Apple Cider Donut Cake

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using a stand or hand mixer, beat together the cake mix, apple cider, and apple sauce.
  4. Add in the eggs and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Continue by adding the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  6. Mix until fully incorporated, being sure to scrape the sides.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt pan.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Once finished baking set aside, and allow to cool to room temperature in the pan.
  10. Once at room temperature, flip over the pan onto a serving plate to release the cake and start the toppings.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. Brush the melted butter over the entire cake, allowing the butter to soak in for a couple of minutes.
  2. While the butter is absorbing, in a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon until well blended.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the entire cake.

Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, add the confectioner’s sugar and apple cider.
  2. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
  4. Cut and serve.

Why cool the cake first before flipping out?

If you try to flip the cake while it is still hot or even warm, it hasn’t had a chance to firm up yet. Flipping a warm cake increases the likelihood of the cake not releasing from the pan entirely, falling apart, or breaking when it is flipped.

Trust me – it is a big fat bummer to have this cake you are so excited about and then have only half of it come out properly, The whole thing is a wash and you have to turn it into something like truffles instead.

Slice of apple bundt cake

How can I prevent the cake from getting stuck inside the pan?

You should make sure that you grease and flour your pan really well or heavily coat it with a flour and grease/cooking-spray mixture to keep the cake from sticking. (such as Baker’s Joy)  The ridges in the pan are most susceptible to this and they are the most delicate parts of the cake. 

Make sure that you really work your grease into these crevices for the best results.

I like to use Baker’s Release because it yields the best results, in my opinion.

What is bakers release?

Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.

To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1. 

  • equal parts of all-purpose flour, shortening, and cooking oil – I like to do 1 cup of each.

Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.

Can this be made in a regular cake pan?

This cake can be made in a 13×9 baking pan. Bake for 20-25 then do the toothpick test to check for doneness.

This cake can also be made into cupcakes. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full and bake for 15-20 then do the toothpick test to check for doneness.

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is Cauliflower Mash?

Cauliflower mash is a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes. It is made by pureeing cooked cauliflower with milk, butter, and seasonings. This dish is a great way to sneak some extra vegetables into your diet. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

What are the Benefits of Cauliflower Mash?

Cauliflower mash is a healthy alternative to mashed potatoes. It is lower in calories and carbohydrates. Additionally, it is a good source of fiber and vitamins. This dish can help you reach your health goals while still enjoying delicious food.

Does it taste like cauliflower?

Yes, this dish does taste like cauliflower. However, the flavors of the heavy cream, butter, bacon, cheese, and seasonings help to mask the cauliflower flavor. It is the closest thing we have made to the real thing.

Ingredients for Cauliflower Mash

Ingredients for Cauliflower Mash

  • cauliflower florets
  • heavy cream
  • butter
  • garlic powder
  • kosher salt
  • pepper
  • gouda cheese – shredded
  • cooked bacon
  • salt and pepper to taste

How to Store Leftovers?

This delicious side can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply place it in a covered container and refrigerate. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving. Enjoy!

mashed Cauliflower ingredients

How to Pick the Best Cauliflower?

When choosing a cauliflower, look for one that is white in color and has compact florets. Avoid any cauliflower that has brown spots or is starting to turn yellow. These are signs that the cauliflower is old and will not taste as good.

Should I use a food processor, blender, or potato masher?

You can use whatever you have on hand. However, for the very best texture and the creamiest “mashed potatoes” consistency – you will want to use a food processor or a blender that offers the same power and blades as what you would find in a food processor.

how do you cook the cauliflower to taste like mashed potatoes?

cauliflower for keto holiday side

How to Make Cauliflower Mash

  1. Add the cauliflower, heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high to soften the florets, for approximately 18 minutes. Stir halfway through.
  2. Add the cauliflower mixture to a food processor, and add the gouda cheese and bacon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Serve warm.
  4. Garnish with crumbled bacon and dried parsley (optional)

Can I make this Vegan?

You bet! If you would like to omit the bacon you can do that. Swap out the heavy cream, butter, and cheese for your favorite vegan alternatives.

Can I use Sour Cream?

Yes – one of my favorite things to swap is replacing the heavy cream with either sour cream or mayo. I already use those when making my mashed potatoes – so why not add them to my mashed cauliflower too? It makes the creamy texture so close to the real thing – I know you’ll love it.

gouda cheese for mash

What to Serve with Cauliflower Mash?

Cauliflower mash can be served as a side dish or as a main course. If you are serving it as a side, try pairing it with roasted chicken or grilled salmon. If you are serving it as a main, try topping it with sauteed mushrooms or caramelized onions. Here are some of our favorite recipes to serve with this dish.

Can this be made without a microwave?

Yes – if you want to steam the cauliflower on the stovetop, instead of in the microwave – that will work just fine. Steam it until it is just soft enough to mash and continue with the remainder of the recipe.

Can I use frozen cauliflower?

If you are in a pinch, you can use frozen cauliflower for this recipe. Simply cook the florets according to the package instructions. Then, add them to a blender or food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes, this recipe can be made ahead of time. Simply cook the cauliflower and store it in the fridge. When you are ready to eat, simply add it to a blender or food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth and continue with the rest of the recipe!

Kung Pao Chicken

When it comes to getting take-out – Kung Pao Chicken is always on our order. But since we moved out of the city, it is really hard to not only get take-out but also get our favorite dishes.

While we do have a place in the nearby town, they don’t offer Kung Pao on the menu, which leaves me to make our own.

Fortunately, this one is super simple to make and everyone loves it. It’s faster to make this than it is to place an order and drive over to get it – which I love.

Kung Pao Chicken Recipe

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is Kung Pao Chicken?

Kung Pao chicken is a stir-fry dish made with chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers. The dish is believed to have originated in the Sichuan province of China and gets its name from the Kung Pao sauce that is used as a key ingredient.

There are many different ways to make Kung Pao chicken, but the dish typically features chicken that has been marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch. The chicken is then stir-fried with peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers in a Kung Pao sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and chili peppers.

Kung Pao chicken is often served over rice or noodles and is a popular dish in Chinese restaurants around the world. It can be made with different types of meat, such as shrimp or beef, and there are also vegetarian versions of the dish that use tofu in place of chicken.

Kung Pao chicken is spicy, sweet, and savory all at the same time, and it is a delicious way to enjoy a classic Chinese dish. If you are looking for a new recipe to try, Kung Pao chicken is a great option that is sure to please everyone at the table.

How to store leftover Kung Pao chicken?

This chicken stores well. Just place any leftovers in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop the corner of the lid, add a small splash of water, and microwave until hot.

The chicken won’t be quite as crispy as when it was fresh – but still quite delicious.

how to make Kung Pao Chicken

How to Make Kung Pao Chicken

  1. Combine the diced chicken, corn starch, egg white, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and salt in a large bowl. Toss and then let the chicken marinate for about 5 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
  2. Combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, black pepper powder, cooking wine, and water in another small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat, and then add the chicken. Stir occasionally and cook until crisp and golden on the outside and evenly cooked on the inside (3-4 min). Once done transfer the chicken onto a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, Next heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, add chopped ginger and garlic and fry until garlic becomes fragrant.
  5. Add the dried red chilies and cubed red and green bell peppers. Stir and cook for a few seconds.
  6. Stir the prepared sauce, then pour it into the pan and bring it to a boil.
  7. In a small bowl mix together the corn starch and water and then add it to the sauce.
  8. Add the green onions, ground black pepper, and cooked chicken to the pan and mix all the ingredients in the sauce until the chicken is evenly coated and the sauce thickens.
  9. Stir in the peanuts, toss well, and cook for another 2 minutes.
  10. Serve hot with rice.

Can I substitute fresh garlic with minced or powdered garlic?

Store-bought minced garlic is a perfectly acceptable alternative to fresh cloves of garlic. Generally, I am more likely to have this on hand than fresh garlic since it is jarred and stored in the refrigerator.

However, I would discourage relying on garlic powder as a substitute in this recipe since it will not have the same ability to incorporate its flavor throughout the dish.

coating the chicken

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes – you can make this dinner ahead of time. But keep in mind that the coating on the chicken will not be as crispy once you reheat it.

Tips for Making the Best Kung Pao Chicken

  • You can store the chicken in an air-tight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or up to 2 months in the freezer. Microwave to reheat or add the leftovers back to a pan and flash fry to reheat.
  • Marinating the chicken in corn starch, vinegar, egg white, and soy sauce not only makes the chicken extremely flavorful but also provides a protective coating that holds the moisture inside the chicken. This makes it tender from the inside and crispy from the outside.
  • You can add or omit vegetables in stir fry according to your liking.
  • Ensure that the sauce thickens and coats each and every piece of chicken properly before serving.
  • You can use any oil of your choice in the recipe. However, I recommend using peanut oil or sesame oil for the best flavor.
  • Make sure you cut the chicken into roughly similar size pieces so they cook evenly. Overcooking will make them chewy and rubbery instead of juicy and tender.

Is Kung Pao Chicken Spicy?

The level of spice in Kung Pao chicken can vary depending on how it is made. Some recipes call for a lot of chili peppers, while others use just a few. If you are sensitive to spice, you can always change it up when making it.

Kung Pao chicken is typically made with a mixture of dried chili peppers, fresh chili peppers, and Sichuan peppercorns. These ingredients give the dish its characteristic heat, but they can also be adjusted to taste. If you want your Kung Pao chicken to be extra spicy, you can add more chili peppers or use a hotter variety of pepper.

On the other hand, if you want to tone down the spice, you can remove some of the chili peppers or use a milder variety. You can also make your Kung Pao chicken without any peppers at all.

No matter how you like your Kung Pao chicken, it is sure to be a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic Chinese dish. Give it a try the next time you are in the mood for something new and exciting!

spicy garlic and peppers

What to serve with Kung Pao Chicken

Kung Pao chicken is typically served over rice or noodles. For a complete meal, you can also add some steamed vegetables on the side.

If you want to keep it simple, Kung Pao chicken goes great with plain white rice. If you are looking for something a little fancier, try serving it over a bed of sautéed vegetables or some lo mein noodles.

No matter what you serve it with, Kung Pao chicken is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic Chinese dish. Give it a try the next time you are in the mood for something new and exciting! Here are some of our favorites we make alongside this dish.

How Air Frying Works

While air fryers are relatively new to the market, the technology isn’t really a new concept. They basically work like tiny convection ovens that you can use on your countertop.

Similar to a convection oven, it circulates the hot air within the cooking area using a high-powered fan. This helps evenly distribute the heat around the food which not only creates more evenly cooked food but also reduced cooking times.

By circulating the hot air, which contains the fine oil droplets from adding a light mist layer before cooking, and allows you to remove the need for submerging our foods in heavy oils to create the deliciously crunchy foods we all love.

Can I make Air Fryer Taquitos ahead of time?

Yes, you can make Air Fryer Taquitos ahead of time. Simply prepare the taquitos as directed and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to cook them. When you’re ready to eat, just cook them in the air fryer as directed.

What are the benefits of air frying?

Healthier

It’s no secret that fried foods are more fattening – but did you know that there are 9 calories in every gram of fat? With air frying, we can reduce the fat by removing most of the oils usually needed to create crunchy foods. This helps to drastically reduce fat intake and calories.

Convenience

I love being able to cook with my air fryer and eliminate the need for large baking sheets and lots of pots and pans. Most of my air fryer recipes can be made with just a mixing bowl or two or a small saucepan in addition to my air fryer.

Energy Efficient

Someone said to me once, “why make this in the air fryer if you can do it the conventional way in the same amount of time?” Well, air frying helps eliminate the need for a conventional oven.

Not only can you keep your home cooler in the summer by not using the oven, but you are saving money with reduced energy consumption costs as well.

Time Saver

I don’t know about you, but if I can avoid turning on the oven and having to wait 20 minutes for it to preheat, I’m happy about that. Most air fryer recipes either don’t require that you preheat the fryer – or the preheat time is 5 minutes or less. That is a huge time saver over using the oven.

Take it on the go

I love that the air fryer is compact and easy to take along on trips. We pack ours in our RV and find that air fryer cooking while camping is so much easier than trying to deep fry foods on a small RV stove or camping burner.

how to make Air Fryer Taquitos

How to Make Air Fryer Taquitos

  1. Prepare the jalapeño. Remove the seeds and endocarp (the white membrane that seeds are attached to). This removes the heat of the pepper as well as the bitterness.
  2. Once cleaned, dice the jalapeño into small pieces. Make sure to wash your hands and fingernails thoroughly after handling peppers.
  3. Add the cream cheese, shredded cheese, chicken, bacon, peppers, and garlic to a mixing bowl, and using a stand mixer or hand mixer, stir until well combined.
  4. Layer the tortillas between damp paper towels and then microwave the tortillas until soft and pliable. About 30-60 seconds.
  5. Working quickly so the tortillas stay soft, fill each tortilla with 1½ tablespoons of filling. Roll the tortilla up and place it in an oil-sprayed air fryer basket. Fill the basket leaving some room between taquitos.
  6. Spray taquitos with oil and cook at 350 for 8 minutes or until taquitos are crispy.
  7. Serve with cilantro, fresh jalapeños, and lime. Ranch makes a perfect dipping sauce.

What kind of tortillas should I use for Air Fryer Taquitos?

Technically you can use either flour or corn tortillas for Air Fryer Taquitos. We prefer corn tortillas because they tend to be more crispy, but both types will work well. If you are using flour tortillas then you are actually making flautas, not taquitos.

What is the difference between taquitos and flautas?

Taquitos and flautas are both Mexican dishes that consist of rolled-up tortillas filled with meat, cheese, and/or vegetables.

The main difference between the two is that taquitos are typically made with smaller corn tortillas, while flautas are made with larger flour ones.

Both dishes can be fried or baked, and they are typically served with dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

creamy chicken filling

What is the best chicken for this recipe?

When making this recipe you will need already cooked chicken, which makes this a great recipe for using up leftovers or for using rotisserie chicken. However, we like to use this creamy fiesta chicken because it is so tasty!

How to prevent sticking in the air fryer

Sticking can often happen when using an air fryer. I understand that most would think to add non-stick spray to the basket to prevent this. I strongly encourage you to not do that.

Non-stick spray leaves a coating that won’t come off, even when washed. Over time – this will build up and cause smoking when you use our air fryer.

I also do not recommend putting down a sheet of foil. The idea behind air frying is to allow the air to circulate around the food.

This is why the basket or tray has holes in it. If you put foil down – this prevents the air from reaching all of the areas it needs to in order for it to cook properly.

Instead – I recommend spraying the basket with olive oil using this spray bottle. You can line the air fryer with perforated parchment paper.

Or you can use one of these really great silicone liners that still allow for airflow but are reusable and easily cleanable.

Can I use frozen meat?

You can use leftover meat that has been refrigerated, but I don’t recommend trying to stuff these with frozen meat. The cooking time will be way too long.

how to assemble taquitos

What should I serve with Air Fryer Taquitos?

We love serving Air Fryer Taquitos with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. They would also be great with a side of rice or beans. Here are some more of our favorites…

Air Frying Doneness Tip

Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates – so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.

You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.

Other Tasty Air Fried Snacks

Can these taquitos be frozen?

I have not tried freezing them once they have been baked. I would recommend eating them fresh or refrigerating the remaining amount and use within 2-3 days.

Can I use raw meat?

Unfortunately, no. You will need to start with meat that has already been cooked. These won’t turn out well if you try to cook the meat once it is already rolled in the tortillas.

What air fryer do you use?

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.

But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.

Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.

But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!

Recipe for Instant Pot Apple Cider

Here are some commonly asked questions

Can I make Instant Pot Apple Cider without sugar?

Yes, you can absolutely make sugar-free apple cider in the Instant Pot! Just omit the brown sugar from the recipe and add a sweetener of your choice to taste after the cider has finished cooking. We like to use honey or maple syrup as alternatives.

However- if you are on a low-carb diet, the apples probably contain too much natural sugar to stay within the daily limits even when removing the sugar in this recipe.

Can I make Instant Pot Apple Cider ahead of time?

Yes, you can definitely make cider in advance! Just cook it according to the recipe instructions and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat individual servings as needed.

When should I serve Instant Pot Apple Cider?

This cider is perfect for fall and winter gatherings! Serve it at holiday parties, tailgates, or cozy family dinners. It’s also a great non-alcoholic option for serving at kid-friendly events.

Thanksgiving Apple Cider

Can I freeze Instant Pot Apple Cider?

Yes, cider freezes well! Just store it in an airtight container in the freezer and thaw it out when you’re ready to enjoy. It should keep for up to 3 months.

Can this be made in a slow cooker?

Yes, this recipe can also be made in a slow cooker! Just combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

What other variations can be made?

There are so many ways that you can vary this recipe! Try adding different spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Or, add a splash of rum or bourbon for a boozy twist.

If you’d like a bit of sweetness, try adding a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. The possibilities are endless!

What is “natural pressure release”?

Often, an Instant Pot recipe would call for you to release all the pressure at the end of the timed pressure cycle.  However, the cooking process stops when the pressure is released. 

For recipes that call for a natural pressure release, you would refrain from releasing the pressure from the unit for a set amount of time.  This allows for a little extra cooking time as the pressure inside naturally goes down. 

At the end of the natural pressure release cycle, you would then use the valve to release the remaining pressure and stop the cooking process.

Pressure Cooker Apple Cider

Ingredients for Instant Pot Apple Cider

What is the difference between a pressure cooker and an instant pot?

By today’s definition, they are virtually the same – if you are talking about an electric pressure cooker. However, a traditional pressure cooker and an instant pot are two different cooking methods.

A traditional pressure cooker is a sealed metal container that cooks food quickly by steam under increased atmospheric pressure and heats the pot to boiling point.

An Instant Pot, on the other hand, is an electric-style pressure cooker that uses the same idea for cooking foods but can do so with very little liquid. They are incredibly efficient, safer than a traditional pressure cooker, and super easy to use too. Plus they come with a multitude of other functions making them great for quick meal prep.

What to serve with apple cider

There are so many delicious things that go great with apple cider! Try serving it with warm cinnamon rolls, gingerbread cookies, or a slice of pie.

It’s also delicious paired with savory foods like roasted meats or sharp cheeses or cheese logs. really, the sky’s the limit! Just get creative and have fun experimenting.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Apple Cider

What kind of apples should I use for apple cider?

Well- we didn’t pick the types of trees that were planted on our property. That was decided by the first owners and we are the lucky recipients. So I have no idea what types we have here. I’m just using what I have and it’s working just fine.

However – since I’m sure most of you will be buying your apples at the store – here are some suggestions.

When you are making apple cider, there are different kinds of apples that work best. Some apples have a higher water content, so they will add to the overall volume of the cider as well as the ratios with the other ingredients. Some are quite sweet, which can also change the overall outcome of the cider.

When picking an apple to make into apple cider, you want to focus on ones that are a bit more tart in flavor. This will result in a nice balance of tart and sweet for the perfect cider flavor. The best type of apple for this is usually the Red Delicious variety, though Golden Delicious will work as well.

How to Make Instant Pot Apple Cider

  1. Combine the water, apples, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, whole cloves, and allspice in the Instant Pot Insert.
  2. Close the lid, set to sealing, and cook on manual high pressure for 25 minutes.
  3. Quick release. Remove the lid once the pin drops.
  4. Use a potato masher to mash the apples a bit to help release more flavor.
  5. Set the Instant Pot to the saute setting and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Set a fine mesh strainer lined with a cheesecloth over a large bowl or pot.
  7. Very carefully ladle the contents of the Instant Pot into the strainer, catching all of the solids.
  8. Once all of the liquid has passed through into the pot below, give the cheesecloth a good squeeze to get out any remaining liquid. Be sure to wait until it is cool enough to touch so you don’t burn yourself.
  9. Discard the solids in the cheesecloth.
  10. Ladle the warm cider into mugs and serve with a fresh apple slice or wedge, cranberries, and a fresh cinnamon stick.

Air Fryer S’mores

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love a good s’more? They’re the perfect summertime dessert – and they’re even better when you can make them in your air fryer! This easy Air Fryer S’mores recipe is perfect for any air fryer lover out there.

When it comes to summer – s’mores are the ultimate treat. You just can’t beat that flavor of crispy graham crackers paired with toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate.

Check out how quickly you can make s’mores inside without a campfire using your air fryer. Don’t have an air fryer? No problem! You can still make these delicious treats by using your oven. So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking!

easy s'mores in the air fryer

Let’s be honest – it isn’t always convenient to start a campfire when the craving for s’mores strikes. It can be quite time-consuming and many times the weather doesn’t permit it anyway.

Whether you have summer thunderstorms happening or you are under a burn ban due to wildfire conditions – you can’t always have a fire.

Fortunately, you can enjoy the delicious taste of s’mores without that campfire. All you need is an air fryer or an oven. Check it out!

stack of s'mores

Here are some commonly asked questions

What are S’mores?

S’mores are a classic American camping treat. They consist of a roasted marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers.

How do you make a S’more?

There are many ways to make a S’more, but the classic method is to roast a marshmallow over a campfire, then sandwich it between two graham crackers with a layer of chocolate.

How Air Frying Works

While air fryers are relatively new to the market, the technology isn’t really a new concept. They basically work like tiny convection ovens that you can use on your countertop.

Similar to a convection oven, it circulates the hot air within the cooking area using a high-powered fan. This helps evenly distribute the heat around the food which not only creates more evenly cooked food but also reduced cooking times.

By circulating the hot air, which contains the fine oil droplets from adding a light mist layer before cooking, and allows you to remove the need for submerging our foods in heavy oils to create the deliciously crunchy foods we all love.

Ingredients for Air Fryer S'mores

What are the best marshmallows for S’mores?

There are many brands of marshmallows that are great for making S’mores. Some of our favorites include Jet-Puffed, Campfire, and Kraft.

What are the best chocolate bars for S’mores?

There are many brands of chocolate that are great for making S’mores. Some of our favorites include Hershey’s, Nestle, and Ghirardelli.

What are the benefits of air frying?

Healthier

It’s no secret that fried foods are more fattening – but did you know that there are 9 calories in every gram of fat? With air frying, we can reduce the fat by removing most of the oils usually needed to create crunchy foods. This helps to drastically reduce fat intake and calories.

Convenience

I love being able to cook with my air fryer and eliminate the need for large baking sheets and lots of pots and pans. Most of my air fryer recipes can be made with just a mixing bowl or two or a small saucepan in addition to my air fryer.

Energy Efficient

Someone said to me once, “why make this in the air fryer if you can do it the conventional way in the same amount of time?” Well, air frying helps eliminate the need for a conventional oven.

Not only can you keep your home cooler in the summer by not using the oven, but you are saving money with reduced energy consumption costs as well.

Time Saver

I don’t know about you, but if I can avoid turning on the oven and having to wait 20 minutes for it to preheat, I’m happy about that. Most air fryer recipes either don’t require that you preheat the fryer – or the preheat time is 5 minutes or less. That is a huge time saver over using the oven.

Take it on the go

I love that the air fryer is compact and easy to take along on trips. We pack ours in our RV and find that air fryer cooking while camping is so much easier than trying to deep fry foods on a small RV stove or camping burner.

how to make Air Fryer S'mores

Ingredients for Air Fryer S’mores

  • graham crackers
  • s’more size marshmallows
  • chocolate bars

Do you have any other tips for making the perfect S’more?

Here are a few tips for making the perfect S’more:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best flavor.
  • Roast the marshmallow over the campfire until it is golden brown.
  • Allow the chocolate to soften slightly before sandwiching it between the graham crackers.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the S’more in half so that the chocolate does not squish out.
  • Serve the S’more immediately after it is assembled.

Change up the ingredients

To change up this classic combo, try replacing the chocolate square with a large peanut butter cup or your favorite candy bar. You can also add strawberries in between the chocolate square and marshmallow.

You can really shake it up and replace the graham crackers with chocolate chip cookies or glazed donuts.

cooking s'mores

How to Make Air Fryer S’mores

  1. Snap the graham crackers in half making two squares.
  2. Divide the chocolate bars into 4, three-piece sections.
  3. Add one section of chocolate onto a graham cracker, and then one marshmallow to the other part of the graham cracker.
  4. Place the crackers open faced up in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook at 350 for 3 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the cooked crackers and then assemble by pressing the two cooked portions together. The melted marshmallow and chocolate should smush together to make a deliciously messy s’more!

How to prevent sticking in the air fryer

Sticking can often happen when using an air fryer. I understand that most would think to add non-stick spray to the basket to prevent this. I strongly encourage you to not do that.

Non-stick spray leaves a coating that won’t come off, even when washed. Over time – this will build up and cause smoking when you use our air fryer.

I also do not recommend putting down a sheet of foil. The idea behind air frying is to allow the air to circulate around the food.

This is why the basket or tray has holes in it. If you put foil down – this prevents the air from reaching all of the areas it needs to in order for it to cook properly.

Instead – I recommend spraying the basket with olive oil using this spray bottle. You can line the air fryer with perforated parchment paper.

Or you can use one of these really great silicone liners that still allow for airflow but are reusable and easily cleanable.

Air Frying Doneness Tip

Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates – so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.

You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.

Ingredient Tip

If the marshmallow has a hard time staying on top of the chocolate, try cutting it in half and placing the sticky side down. This will keep it in place and more evenly distribute the marshmallow over the whole s’more.

When looking for milk chocolate squares, I usually just pick up a solid milk chocolate candy bar & break it to the size I need.

How to store leftover s’mores

While s’mores are always best when served immediately after making them. If you have leftover s’mores, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

finished smore recipe

Can these be made in the oven?

You bet – if you don’t happen to have an air fryer do not fret. You can make these in the oven as well. To do so…

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 9-11 minutes. You can also broil the marshmallows for a couple of minutes to make them toasty if desired.

S’mores are typically served as a dessert or snack. However, they can also be served as part of a larger meal. For example, you could serve them with hot dogs and burgers at a cookout, or you could make s’mores pizza for a fun twist on the classic dish.

Here are some of our favorite recipes to serve with these awesome s’mores.

melted chocolate and marshmallows

What air fryer do you use?

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.

But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.

Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.

But I when I started working on my second air fryer book, I wanted to change things up. I picked up this LARGE air fryer that has been wonderful. It has Touch Screen Presets plus it is XL Family Size, which is great!

Apple Butter Bread

When we moved to our property I was so excited to have our own little mini orchard. But once fall came around I was knee-deep in apples and absolutely swimming in apple butter.

Because of the inability to get more freezers for storing our food I had to utilize a good portion of that apple butter quickly. That’s where this bread comes in.

Because each loaf calls for 1 cup of apple butter, I was able to use a bunch of the apple butter I was making and then take multiple loaves to our new neighbors on the surrounding properties.

I have to say – this bread is so delicious though – I almost didn’t want to share.

how to make Apple Butter Bread

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is Apple Butter Bread?

Apple Butter Bread is a quick bread made with, you guessed it, apple butter! It’s a delicious and easy-to-make fall dessert that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.

What is the best way to store leftover apple butter bread?

I find this bread is best when kept in an airtight container and kept at room temperature. It should keep for up to 3 days on the counter or a week when chilled. If you decide to chill it – just give it a quick zap in the microwave to take the chill off of it a bit before serving again.

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes – that will work for this recipe. You can use nut milk, oat milk, or even heavy cream if you like.

apple cinnamon bread

What type of apple butter do you recommend?

I used my homemade apple butter recipe because I had so much of it. But you can use some from the store if you don’t have some homemade stuff already ready to go.

Can I make Apple Butter Bread ahead of time?

Yes! This bread is actually best if made ahead of time and allowed to sit overnight. The flavors will have a chance to meld and the bread will be even more moist and delicious.

What are some other recipes I can make with apple butter?

Apple butter is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in all sorts of recipes, both sweet and savory. Here are a few ideas:

fall bread loaf with apple butter

What type of bakeware should I use?

I have found that these inexpensive metal loaf pans work perfectly for this recipe. You can also use glass if that is what you have on hand.

Ingredients for Apple Butter Bread

  • all-purpose flour
  • cinnamon
  • baking soda
  • baking powder
  • table salt
  • granulated sugar
  • eggs
  • cooking oil
  • apple butter (homemade or from the store)
  • milk

Can this apple butter bread be frozen?

Yes, I do it often. I find that it stays nice and moist if you wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a zip-top bag before freezing. Please use within 3 months.

Recipe for Apple Butter Bread

How many can this serve?

This will depend on how large or small you cut your pieces. However, you should be able to get 12 or more slices out of each loaf.

How to Make Apple Butter Bread

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease 2 standard loaf pans with bakers release or shortening. Set aside.
  3. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the sugar with the eggs, and oil. Mix well.
  5. Then stir in the apple butter and milk, whisking until well combined.
  6. Gently stir in the dry ingredients mixture, making sure to not over-mix. Stir until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean. You can also test by gently pressing the top of the loaf – if it springs back, they are done.
  9. Remove and cool completely IN THE PAN on a wire rack.
  10. Store wrapped in plastic wrap and then in a zip-top bag – AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. No need to refrigerate unless your house is very warm or you don’t plan on using it all within 2-3 days.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes- doubling works great. Just divide the large quantity of batter between 4 loaf pans and make sure to rotate them in the oven about halfway through the baking process.

Air Fryer Fried Pickles

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

If you like fried pickles but don’t want all the carbs and calories, try this low-carb air fryer fried pickles recipe. It tastes just like deep frying without all the guilt!

If you’re looking for a delicious, healthy snack, look no further than air fryer fried pickles! They are easy to make and taste great. Plus, they’re a lot healthier than traditional fried pickles.

Not only are they healthier than deep frying because we are using the air fryer, but we make them low-carb by using pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs or panko – so even those on a keto diet can enjoy them.

Air Fryer Fried Pickles

When we first started our low-carb journey it seemed like there wasn’t anything we loved that we were allowed to have. But then slowly as we went, day by day we learned new things about how to reduce the sugar and carbs in our diet.

Because we love snacks – we didn’t want to give them up. Fortunately, ingredients like pork rinds are the perfect alternative to breadcrumbs – making it super easy to swap them out and still enjoy the snacks we love. Like these pickle chips.

Air Fryer Pickles

Low Carb Fried Pickles

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover fried pickles?

For long-term storage, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Just a minute or two in the microwave should be enough to reheat them. However, know that reheating may cause the fried pickles to become less crispy the second time around.

You can also pop them back into the air fryer for a couple of minutes to reheat – but overall, they will not be as good as they were when fresh.

Can this recipe be doubled?

You can, and we do it often. The prep time takes a bit longer, but if you are serving these at your game-day party, I highly recommend it because they are always the first to disappear.

How Air Frying Works

While air fryers are relatively new to the market, the technology isn’t really a new concept. They basically work like tiny convection ovens that you can use on your countertop.

Similar to a convection oven, it circulates the hot air within the cooking area using a high-powered fan. This helps evenly distribute the heat around the food which not only creates more evenly cooked food but also reduced cooking times.

By circulating the hot air, which contains the fine oil droplets from adding a light mist layer before cooking, and allows you to remove the need for submerging our foods in heavy oils to create the deliciously crunchy foods we all love.

Can You Freeze Air Fryer Fried Pickles?

Yes, you can freeze air fryer fried pickles! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1-2 hours, or until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the air fryer until hot.

What are the benefits of air frying?

Healthier

It’s no secret that fried foods are more fattening – but did you know that there are 9 calories in every gram of fat? With air frying, we can reduce the fat by removing most of the oils usually needed to create crunchy foods. This helps to drastically reduce fat intake and calories.

Convenience

I love being able to cook with my air fryer and eliminate the need for large baking sheets and lots of pots and pans. Most of my air fryer recipes can be made with just a mixing bowl or two or a small saucepan in addition to my air fryer.

Energy Efficient

Someone said to me once, “why make this in the air fryer if you can do it the conventional way in the same amount of time?” Well, air frying helps eliminate the need for a conventional oven.

Not only can you keep your home cooler in the summer by not using the oven, but you are saving money with reduced energy consumption costs as well.

Time Saver

I don’t know about you, but if I can avoid turning on the oven and having to wait 20 minutes for it to preheat, I’m happy about that. Most air fryer recipes either don’t require that you preheat the fryer – or the preheat time is 5 minutes or less. That is a huge time saver over using the oven.

Take it on the go

I love that the air fryer is compact and easy to take along on trips. We pack ours in our RV and find that air fryer cooking while camping is so much easier than trying to deep fry foods on a small RV stove or camping burner.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Fried Pickles

  • dill pickle slices
  • ground pork rinds – pork rind crumbs
  • large egg
  • garlic powder
  • ground black pepper
  • paprika
  • coconut flour
  • cooking oil in a spray bottle
  • Optional: Ranch for dipping or your favorite sauce and dried parsley for garnish.

Can I use gluten-free breadcrumbs?

I have not personally tried it, but I don’t see why not. You just want to add something to give the outside a bit of texture. You can also use panko if you prefer.

If you aren’t trying to keep the carbs down – these will still taste delicious when using breadcrumbs or panko.

What to serve with fried pickles

Fried pickles are delicious on their own, but they also make a great appetizer or side dish. Serve them with ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce. You could also serve them alongside a sandwich or burger for a tasty meal.

If you’re looking for something a little different, try serving air fryer fried pickles with a dipping sauce made of equal parts ranch dressing and BBQ sauce. Delish! Here are some of our favorite things to serve with fried pickles.

What other dipping sauces do you recommend?

While most people love to dip these in Ranch Dressing – I like to change it up from time to time. Check out some of these favorite sauces here –

Can these be baked instead of air fried?

Yes – if you want to bake them instead of air frying – just prepare the pickles as instructed and then bake at 400 for 10 minutes.

Egg wash and pork rind coating

Air Frying Doneness Tip

Every air fryer is a bit different and they all cook at different rates – so in general, all cooking times are approximate based on the pan and temperature.

You can always cook the recipe longer if needed and reduce the heat a bit. If needed, you can tent the top if it is browning too much.

How to Make Air Fryer Fried Pickles – Low-Carb Version

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  2. Add the pork rinds to a large zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them or another object with some weight.
  3. Pour the crumbs into a small bowl and mix with the paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
  4. Using a paper towel, pat dry the excess moisture off of the pickle slices and add them to a large bowl.
  5. Add the coconut flour and toss to evenly coat the pickles.
  6. Whisk the egg in a separate small bowl.
  7. Using tongs, dredge the pickle slices in the egg wash in batches.
  8. Allow the excess egg wash to drip off and then press them into the pork rind mixture.
  9. Transfer to a plate and repeat until all of the pickles have been coated.
  10. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in small batches. First, spritz the cooking trays or basket with cooking oil – very lightly.
  11. Arrange the pickles in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, ranch is a great option!
  13. Sprinkle some dried parsley on your dipping sauce as garnish (optional).

What Are Air Fryer Fried Pickles

Air Fryer Fried Pickles are a delicious, low-carb snack or side dish that can be made in just a few minutes! Made with slices of dill pickle, a light breading, and air fried to perfection, these crispy fried pickles will be your new favorite way to eat pickles! Serve them with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.

What Are The Best Pickles For Air Fryer Fried Pickles

The best pickles for air fryer fried pickles are ones that are sliced thinly. I like to use dill pickle spears, but you could also use dill pickle chips or any other type of pickle that you like. If using thicker slices of pickle, you may need to cook them for a few minutes longer.

NOTE- If using an air fryer with a basket you may need to flip the pickles halfway through.

What Is The Best Temperature To Cook Air Fryer Fried Pickles?

The best temperature to cook air fryer fried pickles is 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that they get nice and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.

How Long Do Air Fryer Fried Pickles Take To Cook?

Air fryer fried pickles take about 10-12 minutes to cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your pickle slices and how crispy you like them.

How to prevent sticking in the air fryer

Sticking can often happen when using an air fryer. I understand that most would think to add non-stick spray to the basket to prevent this. I strongly encourage you to not do that.

Non-stick spray leaves a coating that won’t come off, even when washed. Over time – this will build up and cause smoking when you use our air fryer.

I also do not recommend putting down a sheet of foil. The idea behind air frying is to allow the air to circulate around the food.

This is why the basket or tray has holes in it. If you put foil down – this prevents the air from reaching all of the areas it needs to in order for it to cook properly.

Instead – I recommend spraying the basket with olive oil using this spray bottle. You can line the air fryer with perforated parchment paper.

Or you can use one of these really great silicone liners that still allow for airflow but are reusable and easily cleanable.

Air Fryer Pickle Chips

What air fryer do you use?

We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since given that to my son since he’s only cooking for 1.

But the more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra functions.

  • Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in small batches. First, spritz the cooking trays or basket with cooking oil – very lightly.
  • Arrange the pickles in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, ranch is a great option!
  • Sprinkle some dried parsley on your dipping sauce as garnish (optional).

Notes

If using an air fryer with a basket you may need to flip the pickles halfway through.

Birthday Cookies

By Kleinworth & Co 1 Comment

Sure, cakes are great for birthdays, but have you ever tried Birthday Cookies? They’re so much more fun to decorate and eat!

There’s something about a birthday that just feels special. Whether it’s your own birthday or someone else’s, it’s a time to celebrate and enjoy good company and delicious food.

If you’re looking for a tasty treat to mark the occasion, why not try making some homemade birthday cookies?

They’re easy to make and sure to please everyone at the party. So grab your mixer and get baking!

When it comes to birthdays, you don’t always have to do a cake to celebrate. My mom would always have the option of cookies at the party table so people could have a little nibble of something sweet without having to commit to a slice of cake.

These birthday cookies are so much fun. Loaded with sprinkles, easy to make with cake mix (meaning they are super soft and chewy for days), and then topped with a simple buttercream that will have everyone coming back for more.

celebration cookies

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store leftover kiss cookies?

Because these cookies are frosted, I recommend keeping them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You will also need to keep them in a single layer because of the frosting.

The easiest way to do this is to place them in casserole dishes – preferably ones with an airtight lid. If they don’t have lids that make them stackable for space saving – you can use the press & seal wrap instead. Not only does it do a good job at keeping things airtight – but it stays firm enough for light stacking.

What is Funfetti or Confetti Cake Mix?

Basically, Funfetti is a soft, fluffy, vanilla cake with rainbow sprinkles baked throughout. It’s FUN and probably my most favorite flavor of cake.

This is actually the same as confetti cake. But then Pillsbury came out with an actual Funfetti variety of their box mix – which made the name popular.

For this recipe, you can use the Pillsbury brand and get the actual Funfetti cake mix or you can pick up the rival brands who call their versions confetti or rainbow chip.

ingredients for Birthday Cookies

Ingredients for Birthday Cookies

  • funfetti cake mix
  • large eggs – room temperature
  • oil vegetable or canola
  • sprinkles plus more for garnish
  • birthday cake chocolate kisses

Frosting, optional

  • unsalted butter – softened
  • confectioner’s sugar
  • heavy whipping cream or milk
  • clear vanilla extract

Why do the ingredients need to be at room temperature?

Room temperature ingredients help to ensure that everything blends together perfectly. You don’t want any pockets of unblended butter. You want everything evenly disbursed for the perfect texture.

When your dairy products are at room temperature, they can create an emulsion. It’s essential to have an emulsion because air gets trapped, so the baked goods expand and get fluffy as it bakes.

how to make Birthday Cookies

How to Make Birthday Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, and oil until completely combined.
  4. Stir in the sprinkles until mixed throughout.
  5. Scoop with cookie dough scoop or tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly firm but still soft.
  7. Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack.
  8. If adding chocolate kisses without frosting, add them immediately while the cookies are warm.
  9. Or cool the cookies completely, then add the frosting, sprinkles, and chocolate kisses.
  10. Store in an airtight container.

Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until fluffy and smooth.
  2. Sift the confectioner’s sugar into a medium bowl – this step is optional, although it makes the frosting smooth and easier to mix.
  3. Gradually add the confectioner’s sugar, alternating with heavy cream or milk.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and beat well.
  5. Add to a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe onto cooled cookies before adding the chocolate kiss.

Can you freeze kiss cookies?

The short answer is yes. These cookies can be frozen after baking, once they have completely cooled. The best way to do that is to wrap each cookie individually with plastic wrap.

Then place them in an airtight container or zip-top bag. You can freeze for up to 3 months. Keep in mind that the sprinkles may sweat from the moisture in the freezer – so you might want to stick to only freezing the ones without sprinkles.

You can also freeze the dough. Just roll it into balls and place it on a baking sheet. Freeze in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container for space-saving.

When ready to bake, thaw the dough, roll the cookies in the sugar or sprinkles and then bake as directed. Please don’t add the sugar or sprinkles prior to freezing – neither holds up too well with the moisture in the freezer.

cookie batter

Do I need to chill the dough?

Typically cake mix cookies don’t require chilling. However, if your room is quite warm, you might want to place the bowl in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes prior to rolling.

This will help keep the cookies thick and from spreading too much when baking.

How many can this serve?

This recipe makes about 35 cookies, so it will depend on how many people eat at a time. It will also vary a bit on how large or small you make the cookies.

Can this recipe be doubled?

Yes, doubling this recipe works great and I highly recommend doing it if you are giving these as a gift or making them for a party. These are a favorite and they do go quickly.

What are the best sprinkles for these cookies?

This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in fact sprinkles.

I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.

This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.

Make sure you are using jimmies – they don’t bleed or alter the colors. “Sprinkles” called Nonpareils are also not great for this recipe because they also bleed.

What can I make with rainbow sprinkles?

We absolutely LOVE using rainbow sprinkles in our recipes. The fun, bright colors bring happiness – so why not add them whenever it makes sense. Here are some of our favorite recipes to use with rainbow sprinkles.

naan bread recipe easy

Indian bread with garlic butter

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is naan?

Naan is a flatbread that is popular in many parts of the world, especially in India. It is typically made with wheat flour, water, yeast, and milk, and it is cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven.

Furthermore, Naan can be plain or flavored with herbs and spices such as garlic or onion. It is often served with curries or other dishes, and it can also be used to scoop up food.

What are some common ways to eat naan?

Naan can be eaten plain or served with curries or other dishes. Because of its thin shape and soft, pliable texture, tt is often used to scoop up food. We like to add flavor to the bread by adding herbs and spices such as garlic or onion.

What is a tandoor?

A tandoor is a clay oven that is used to cook food. The tandoor originated in India, and it is still used there today. Tandoors are also used in other parts of the world, such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran.

Ingredients for Garlic Butter Naan

Garlic Butter Naan Bread Ingredients

  • warm water
  • granulated sugar
  • active dry yeast
  • all-purpose flour
  • plain Greek yogurt
  • warm milk
  • vegetable oil
  • garlic minced
  • baking powder
  • salt

Naan Prep

  • butter – melted
  • garlic – minced
  • fresh chopped cilantro or parsley

What is the difference between naan bread and pita bread?

Both naan and pita are flatbreads, but there are a few key differences between them.

Naan is typically made with wheat flour, water, yeast, and milk, while pita is made with wheat flour, water, and yeast. It is cooked in a tandoor, or clay oven. Naan is often served with curries or other dishes.

You can add flavor to naan bread by adding herbs and spices such as garlic or onion. It will last for several days when stored in an airtight container.

Pita bread, on the other hand, is best eaten fresh. It is baked in a traditional oven. It is typically used as pocket bread. Pita bread can be stored in a plastic bag at room temperature.

Of course, both can be purchased at many grocery stores or online. Pita bread is typically found in the Mediterranean section of the grocery store.

Can this be made with a different yogurt?

Yes, this recipe will work with coconut yogurt. However, the texture and rise will be a bit different for the end result.

How to Make Garlic Butter Naan

Can this be made with alternative milk?

This naan recipe will work when using nut milk. But it will subsequently change the overall texture of the naan. It may not be as stretchy and chewy.

How to Make Garlic Butter Naan

Dough

  1. First add the warm water, sugar, and yeast to a large bowl. Stir and mix. Allow the yeast to proof for about five minutes.
  2. After the five minutes, add in your flour, yogurt, milk, oil, garlic, baking powder, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Next, knead with a dough hook for about five minutes on medium speed if using a stand mixer. If using your hands, transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes.
  4. Then transfer the dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean towel and place in a warm spot for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Cooking

  1. Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured surface.
  2. Divide the dough into 10 even portions.
  3. Take each portion and roll it into a ball. Set aside and once you have rolled all of the dough, cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Lightly dust a clean, flat surface with some flour. Roll the prepared dough into an oval shape.
  5. Prepare a cast iron skillet (a non-stick skillet will be fine as well.) by heating over medium-low heat.
  6. Cook on one side in the pre-heated skillet until you see bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and continue to cook for about one minute on the other side.
  7. Remove and place on a plate and repeat steps 4-5 with the remaining dough.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
  9. Once melted, add in the garlic and parsley. Mix well.
  10. Brush the butter mixture on top of the cooked naan.
  11. Serve and enjoy warm!

How to store naan

This bread should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If properly stored, it will last for several days when stored in an airtight container.

Naan dough

Can naan be made without yeast?

Yes, I have heard of some naan recipes that don’t call for yeast. However, I have yet to give it a try. When I do – there will definitely be either an update to this post or a new post for that version.

What to pair with Naan

While the possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can serve with naan. Here are some ideas –

Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, Beef Curry, Vegetable Korma, Dal Makhani, Butter Chicken, Chickpea Curry, Coconut Curry, Eggplant Curry.

That being said, I also really love to enjoy this with Beef & Mushroom Kabobs, Grilled Chicken Skewers & Grilled Asparagus.

Can this recipe be frozen?

Yes – this recipe can be frozen. Place it in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. It can be thawed fairly quickly by placing it in the refrigerator for several hours.

When you are ready to serve again – microwave until warm.

NOTE – it is best to freeze and store prior to adding the butter. This recipe will reheat better if you add the butter once ready to serve.

Can I use honey instead of sugar?

Yes, I have seen some other recipes out there that call for honey in place of the sugar to help proof the yeast. I have not personally tried it. But in general, honey is a good substitute for sugar in this instance.

Plus, they’re easy to make, so you can have a fresh batch of cookies in no time!

You won’t be disappointed.

Recipe for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here are some commonly asked questions

What is the best way to store double chocolate chip cookies?

I like to place mine in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also use a zip-top bag but I find they get jostled a bit too much with this and then you have broken cookies.

Can the dough be frozen for later?

Yes – this dough can be frozen and baked later. If you would like to roll the dough prior to freezing, make sure to freeze the dough balls in a single flat layer. Once frozen they can be transferred to a zip-top bag for space-saving.

To bake – increase the baking time by 1 minute – no need to thaw the dough before baking.

I like to roll the dough between my hands to soften the outside of the dough before baking – then roll in the sugar – this helps the cookies have the freshest texture once they are baked.

How long do double chocolate chip cookies last?

These double chocolate chip cookies should be enjoyed within 5 days to 7 after making them. They can be frozen for up to two months if you need to do that too.

cookie dessert chocolate chip

Are these really no-chill?

Yep – that is why I love this recipe. You don’t have to chill this dough at all. However – if your house is hot (maybe it’s summer and you don’t have AC) or maybe the dough is too warm and the cookies are spreading too much when baking – you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help it out.

Ingredients for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • butter
  • brown sugar – packed
  • granulated sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • large egg
  • all-purpose flour – spooned and leveled
  • unsweetened cocoa powder – not Dutch-processed
  • baking soda
  • table salt
  • semi-sweet chocolate chips

Why do my cookies go flat?

Cookies typically go flat when the dough isn’t at the right temperature at the time of baking OR when they are missing the right ingredients that help them to rise- such as eggs, baking soda, and baking powder. Please make sure you are measuring those ingredients correctly and that they are at room temperature when you start the mixing.

Also – something to keep in mind- make sure you are placing the dough on a cool baking sheet. The cookies will bake differently if you are placing the dough on the hot baking sheet you just removed from the oven. Make sure you have a rotation of baking sheets so you can always place the unbaked dough on a cool tray.

Should I use light or dark brown sugar?

Since I make my own brown sugar, I use light brown sugar for almost all of my recipes. But light or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe.

ingredients for Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is there a substitute for butter in double chocolate chip cookies?

You can use margarine or vegetable shortening as a butter substitute in these double chocolate chip cookies. Keep in mind that the rise, spread, and overall texture of the cookies will be altered when making this change.

How to Make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment and set them aside.
  3. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on 50% power until mostly melted – remove and whisk until the remainder of the butter melts.
  4. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
  5. Stir in the egg and vanilla just until incorporated.
  6. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. The dough will be just a bit sticky.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Scoop the dough into 1.5 tbsp portions onto the prepared baking sheets – making sure to space the dough about 2 inches apart to allow for spread.
  9. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until the cookies are just set. They will be a bit puffy but will continue to set as they cool.

Can this recipe be made without a stand mixer?

I think you could possibly get away with using a hand mixer if you have firm beaters.

I don’t recommend using a whisk or even the whisk attachment on a stand mixer for this dough as a whisk isn’t strong enough for this dough.

how to make Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

How do I properly measure the flour?

The official way is to spoon the flour into the measuring cup & level off. This makes sure the flour isn’t packed tightly into your measuring cup, adding more than you need, as that will make your recipe too dry.

What is the difference between Dutch-process cocoa powder and regular cocoa powder?

So Dutch-processed cocoa powder is also referred to as alkalized cocoa. This powder starts with cocoa beans that have been washed in an alkaline solution of potassium carbonate, also used in the production of soap and glass.

By doing this, it neutralizes the acidity of the beans, making the beans neutral. This is important because when they are neutral, they do not react with baking soda. Instead, it is often paired with baking powder.

So – long story short – using regular cocoa powder vs Dutch-process cocoa powder will yield a completely different rise and texture to any recipe you are making.

So I highly recommend paying close attention to the type of cocoa powder called for in each recipe and sticking to it for that reason.

Keto Marinara Sauce

By Kleinworth & Co Leave a Comment

Keto Marinara Sauce can be used as a substitute for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or just eaten straight from the jar! Perfect for those looking for a sugar-free, low-carb alternative. You can add ground beef (or sausage), vegetables, and cheese.

Do you love marinara sauce but are trying to stick to a keto diet? Or are you diabetic and looking for a sugar-free option? Look no further than this keto marinara sauce recipe.

It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for any dinner dish or pizza craving. Give it a try today!

Like many out there, when we started our Keto journey we found that nearly EVERYTHING has sugar added to it. It became very apparent to us that we would have to make our own alternatives if we wanted to eat “normally”.

One thing we wanted to make was chicken parmesan – keto-style. But we couldn’t just use the sauce from the store without packing on the carbs. That’s where this sauce comes in.

We ditched the breading and just added this sauce to the top of a grilled chicken breast along with some cheese to keep it low carb.

With only 2 carbs for a 1/4 cup serving, we used only 1-2 tbsp per chicken breast, making the carbs for the sauce negligible. That’s a win for me and we didn’t have to feel like we were dieting either.

Keto Tomato Sauce

Here are some commonly asked questions

Why make your own Keto Marinara Sauce?

When trying to stick to a Keto, sugar-free, or low-carb diet there are a lot of things to keep in mind. What I noticed when trying to buy products to replace our sugar-filled versions is that there are what seems like a billion different names for sugar and sugar substitutes.

When reading labels you need to know all the secret little ways that sugar can be added to what you are buying. Generally, you want to avoid ingredients that will spike your blood sugar – which is why it can be so much easier to just make your own so you know exactly what is being added.

How to store this sugar-free marinara sauce

This sauce is best kept refrigerated until you plan on using it. I like to put it in a jar with a tight lid and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

If you aren’t going to use it all right away – you can portion out some of it and freeze it in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for up to a couple of months. Thaw it by placing the container in a bowl of warm water for about an hour. Then reheat as needed on the stovetop.

ingredients for Keto Marinara Sauce

Ingredients for Keto Marinara Sauce

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • granulated garlic
  • minced onions
  • diced tomatoes
  • white vinegar
  • salt
  • dried oregano
  • dried basil

What should I use this sauce on?

While the possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can use this sauce with, here are some of our favorite recipes to use this sauce. These are all standard recipes, but can easily be adapted to a keto version.

how to make Keto Marinara Sauce

How to Make Keto Marinara Sauce

  1. Combine the olive oil, granulated garlic, and minced onions in a saucepan and heat over medium for about 2 minutes – stirring frequently.
  2. Reduce the heat to a simmer and then add the diced tomatoes, vinegar, salt, dried oregano, and dried basil.
  3. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Simmer for about 30 minutes (20 minutes on a high-output stove) until the volume has reduced and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Use the sauce immediately or store it in a jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.

What are the benefits of using a sugar-free or low-carb marinara sauce?

There are a few benefits to using a sugar-free or low-carb marinara sauce. One benefit is that it can help keep your blood sugar levels stable. Another benefit is that it can help you stay in ketosis.

Can this be made in the Instant Pot?

Yes, you can make this in the Instant Pot. Just saute in the pot as you would with this recipe on the stovetop. Then add the other ingredients and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Quick release the pressure when done and use as needed.

adding tomatoes marinara

What are the best tomatoes to use in Marinara sauce?

The brand doesn’t really matter as long as it doesn’t have any added sugar. The can should only contain crushed tomatoes and possibly a little oil or salt. Tomatoes naturally have their own sugar and that is all you need – nothing else added or it defeats the point of making your own sauce.

IS MARINARA AND TOMATO SAUCE OK ON A KETO DIET?

As with everything on a keto diet – moderation is key here. As I mentioned before, tomatoes naturally contain sugar – so you don’t want to drown your food in the sauce, drink the sauce, or generally overdo your portions.

But if you are on keto – then you are probably used to moderating the food choices you make anyway.

How Many Carbs are in Homemade Marinara Sauce?

As I mentioned above, this recipe contains 2 net carbs for a 1/4 cup serving. So if you are only having 1-2 tablespoons at a time, that is only half to 1 carb since there are 4 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup.
