These delicious cinnamon scones make for the best sweet breakfast or pick me up treat in the afternoon! Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a satisfying snack.

Cinnamon scones make a great breakfast with a cup of coffee, but they are also perfect for dessert. The flavor reminds me a lot of the cinnamon crunch bagel at Panera.

Ingredients

Even the best scones can be made with an assortment of simple household ingredients.

This recipe uses mostly baking basics like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and cinnamon. The only unique ingredient you’ll need is cinnamon chips. You could leave the chips off and these cinnamon scones would still be great, but adding them gives you fun bursts of cinnamon sugar flavor throughout your bite.

Easy Strawberry Banana Bread https://www.cupcakeproject.com/strawberry-banana-bread/ https://www.cupcakeproject.com/strawberry-banana-bread/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2020 16:07:00 +0000 http://gw.finelimedesigns.com/2009/05/strawberry-banana-cupcakes-3/ Strawberry Banana Bread is a fun twist on banana bread; it’s moist and flavorful and looks so pretty! Strawberries add color to an otherwise brown bread – and they brighten up the flavor, too.

I love that this is a one bowl recipe. Aside from mashing the bananas and slicing the fresh strawberries, the whole recipe is just dumping things into a bowl and mixing. You’ve got this!

This banana and strawberry bread is an easy way to add a pop of color and fruity flavor to a classic easy banana bread recipe!

Choosing Ingredients

As with any banana cupcakes, muffins, or cookies, the bananas are the most important part of the recipe. The more ripe they are, the sweeter the bread will be. Wait for banana skins to be almost black for the best results!

This easy scone recipe is perfect for a sweet and fruity treat that you can serve any time of day!

Scones, like banana muffins and French toast casserole (a.k.a. bread pudding), are one of those desserts that you eat for breakfast without anyone blinking an eye. And, with these, you are even getting in some morning fruit!

These scones are considered American scones because they are a little sweeter and slightly more dense than English scones; English scones are more like what we in the US would call biscuits.

Easy Bostock Recipe https://www.cupcakeproject.com/what-to-do-with-leftover-hot-dog-and-hamburger-buns/ https://www.cupcakeproject.com/what-to-do-with-leftover-hot-dog-and-hamburger-buns/#comments Fri, 22 May 2020 14:35:45 +0000 https://www.cupcakeproject.com/?p=19153 Bostock is a cross between French toast and an almond croissant. It’s an easy to make, unforgettable breakfast treat made with leftover bread, almond syrup, and almond cream (frangipane).

While I’m a sucker for overnight baked French toast and its bread pudding-like consistency, Bostock somehow feels more gourmet. It’s sticky, sweet, has a bit of a crunch, and must be served directly out of the oven.

Easy Cheese Danish https://www.cupcakeproject.com/easy-cheese-danish/ https://www.cupcakeproject.com/easy-cheese-danish/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2020 14:36:45 +0000 https://www.cupcakeproject.com/?p=34651 There’s no need to miss the cheese Danishes from your favorite bakery. It’s so easy to make them at home and you’ll get to enjoy them hot out of the oven! Plus, your whole house will smell incredible!

Cheese Danish

What You’ll Need

To make a cheese Danish, you’ll need a frozen puff pastry – be sure to defrost it the night before you plan to bake. You’ll also need cream cheese that’s been out of the fridge for a couple of hours. If the cream cheese isn’t at room temperature, it won’t mix well into the other ingredients.

Two Ingredient Ice Cream Bread https://www.cupcakeproject.com/ice-cream-bread/ https://www.cupcakeproject.com/ice-cream-bread/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2020 01:51:57 +0000 https://www.cupcakeproject.com/?p=34628 I prepped this Ice Cream Bread recipe this morning in two minutes. All you need is softened ice cream and flour and you can make bread! It’s like some kind of crazy magic!

Why You’ll Love this Quick Bread from Ice Cream

First off, let’s talk about what this bread tastes like. It will, of course, vary based on the flavor of ice cream that you choose. But, I would call it a breakfast bread – falling into the same category as banana bread or zucchini bread.

It’s sweet, but not sweet enough to be called cake. It definitely has more of a bread-like texture.
