Maple Syrup Recipes
Baked Pumpkin Pancakes (Grain/Gluten Free)
Pumpkin and almonds hold a special affinity for one another. Generally speaking, combining these two ingredients has the potential for greatness. Yet the concept of combining them to create a gluten-free pancake—baked in the oven, no less–had the potential for epic failure! I remember well the first time I made this recipe. The batter tasted…
Peach Swirl Baked Oatmeal
Easy to prep ahead with pantry ingredients and fresh peaches, although frozen peaches work well too. Either way, this breakfast is worth waking up for!

When fresh fruits aren’t available–and after I’ve used the last of the strawberry-rhubarb sauce I freeze every year–I turn to frozen, organic fruit for quick and delicious…
Apple-Cinnamon Protein Smoothie
When Chobani’s new apple-cinnamon yogurt came out a while back, I thought it would be tasty in a smoothie. This is a fun diversion from my typical go-to smoothie flavors, and I have a favorite way to turn it into a smoothie that really reminds me of fall: When I make baked apples, I blend…
