- Place the batter in the center of the prepared sheet and flatten with slightly oiled hands (no need for a rolling pin), or place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough ball to flatten into a 1-inch thick disc (2.5 cm).
- Use a long sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the disc into 8 wedges and spread the wedges slightly to make sure they don’t stick to each other and bake well on the sides.
- Brush some melted butter or almond milk on top of the wedges and press a few sliced almonds to decorate.
- Bake the scones on the center rack of the oven for about 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the top is just golden brown. Don’t over-bake, or the center gets very hard and crunchy.
- Slide a flat spatula under the baked scones to gently transfer onto a cooling rack without breaking.
- Cool down on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. They firm up with time, so be patient.

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups blueberries ((fresh or frozen))
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. If you don’t have buttermilk, make your own by mixing in half a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup of low-fat milk and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray.
- If using fresh blueberries, rinse them and remove any stems. Let them drain and pat them dry. See notes if using frozen blueberries.
- In a medium bowl, add your wet ingredients (buttermilk, egg, honey/maple syrup, oil, extract). Stir gently to mix. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gently stir with a spoon, just until mixed. It shouldn’t be completely smooth, or you will have tough muffins. Gently stir in the blueberries.
- Using a scoop or spoon, fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full, until you have used all of the batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of a muffin. (Check after 15 minutes so as not to overbake them.)
- Let the muffins rest for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. The easiest way to remove them from the tin is to run a butter knife around the edges of each muffin and use the knife to gently pry each muffin out. Store leftover muffins in a plastic container at room temperature for three days, or freeze extra muffins the day they are made.

- 8 slices Bacon (cooked and diced )
- 4 Green Onions (thinly diced )
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Prepare the jars: Lightly coat the inside of eight 8-ounce wide-mouth mason jars with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the fillings: Finely chop the cooked bacon and slice the green onions. Divide the bacon, cheese, and green onions into two portions, reserving a small amount for garnishing the tops.
- Blend the eggs: Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend for 20â30 seconds, or until completely smooth.
- Fill the jars: Divide half of the bacon, cheese, and green onions among the jars. Pour in enough egg mixture to fill each jar approximately halfway. Add the second layer of bacon, cheese, and green onions.
- Finish filling: Pour additional egg mixture into each jar until it reaches approximately the 6-ounce level, leaving headspace at the top. Gently run a butter knife or skewer through each jar once or twice to distribute the fillings. Top with the reserved bacon, cheese, and green onion.
- Add the lids: Place the lids on the jars and screw on the rings until fingertip-tight. Do not overtighten.
- Prepare the water bath: Arrange all eight jars upright inside the slow cooker while it is still turned OFF. Carefully pour hot tap water around the jars until the water reaches approximately the same height as the egg mixture inside the jars.
- Slow cook: Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2â2 hours, or until the centers are just set. Begin checking around 90 minutes because individual slow cookers vary.
- Check for doneness: Insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of one egg bite. The eggs are ready when they reach 160°F. Avoid substantially overcooking them or they can become firm and rubbery.

Ingredients
- 3 cups grated zucchini ((1 medium zucchini))

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 eggs
Instructions
- In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, saute the zucchini and onion together with the salt until all of the liquid that the vegetables have released is cooked off. You can cook them over medium heat and let it steam off gently or you can cook it over medium high to cook it off more quickly. If you are cooking it at a higher temperature, you might need to add a little oil to prevent sticking. It just depends on how much time you have really.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spread the cooked veggies out evenly in the skillet. Pour the eggs over the top and stick the whole pan in the hot oven.
- Cook until the eggs no longer jiggle in the middle, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing into 4 pieces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat before eating.

Applesauce Vegan Muffins is a practical addition to this collection, with a straightforward method and adaptable serving options.

Dark, moist, and scattered with raisins and fresh apple bits, these applesauce vegan muffins are perfect for breakfast or a snack. So scrumptious and easy to make, no one will ever guess they are actually healthy. Make ahead of time and freeze for quick breakfasts on the go!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or other granular sugar)
- 1.5 cups apple sauce ((or 15 oz))
- 1/2 cup plant milk (almond, cashew, etc)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup apples (diced)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup crushed walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then wash your apples and core and dice them. They can be peeled if desired, but I like to leave the peels on because they add lots of fiber and get pretty soft during the baking process. Once your apples are cored and diced, set them to the side.
- In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and sugar.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients including applesauce, almond milk, vanilla, vinegar, and date paste (if using). Making your own is really easy if you want to give it a try using the recipe above.
- Pour the well-blended wet mixture into a large bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to make a nice thick muffin batter.
- Add the diced apples, raisins, and crushed walnuts and mix well.
- Spoon or scoop the batter into a nonstick muffin pan. I don’t recommend paper muffin cups because they stick to the paper.
- When I am making muffins, pancakes, or waffles, I like to use a trigger icecream scoop to portion out the batter. It makes much less of a mess and each scoopful tends to be the exact amount of batter needed.
- Place the muffin pans in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. If you’re using a silicone nonstick pan, you’ll want to place it on a baking sheet for support.
- Test for doneness by pushing a toothpick into the center of one of the muffins. When it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool, and serve.
26. Matcha Pancakes

Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (I used oat milk)

- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- A handful of fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare and measure all the ingredients using measuring cups.
- Take the blender and add all ingredients – wet ingredients first for easier blending.
- Mix everything at high speed until you get a smooth texture.
- Taste the pancake batter and add additional sweetener if you think the mixture is not sweet enough. Always add sweetener to your likings.
- Let the batter rest for few minutes. Oats will soak some of the moisture, and pancake batter will become denser.
- In the meantime, heat the pancake pan over medium heat and coat with coconut oil cooking spray or coconut oil using the brush.
- For each pancake, drop 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until pancake is lightly browned.
- Flip the pancake carefully with a flexible silicone spatula and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate.
- Make sure to coat the pan before every pancake or batch of pancakes to prevent sticking.
- Repeat the process with the remaining pancake batter.
- Add toppings and serve.
