I made this full recipe, cooled it, transferred it to a large jar… and had some of the best breakfasts all week. I’ve added this compote to oatmeal (pictured) and to yogurt. I bet it would be amazing on toast with a little ricotta, or even as a topper for a nice, baked white fish. Why not go there? This could be sweet or savory.

Time to start the new year with something healthy! This bad boy was like drinking a whole breakfast, and is probably healthier than most handfuls of cereal we shove in our food holes. I mean, what?

These waffles were honestly better than many gluten-full waffles I’ve eaten. They’re going straight to the top of my, “Hey, still a splurge but not too bad for you in the long run” list.

This coffee cake was one of my favorite recent baking projects. It was fairly simple to make and the plums were fantastic. I actually enjoyed it with a few extra fresh plum slices on the side.

I’ve been watching fall movies (Lemony Snicket, anyone?) and snacking on this pumpkin granola lately. Isn’t autumn lovely?
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Combine the oats, flax seeds, almonds, cranberries, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove in one bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coffee syrup, egg white, oil, and vanilla. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, and stir and stir and stir until all of the ingredients are wet.
For chunky granola, line a glass baking pan with parchment paper. Scoop the granola onto the parchment and spread in an even layer. Bake for 45 minutes, or until granola is golden-brown, dry, and hardened slightly. Place the baking pan on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then transfer the granola to an airtight container.
For finer granola, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the granola onto the parchment and spread in an even layer. Bake for 30 minutes, then stir, breaking up any clusters. Bake for 15 minutes longer, or until the granola is golden-brown, dry, and hardened slightly. Place the baking pan on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then transfer the granola to an airtight container.
Store the granola at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Recipe adapted from: Aunt Karen’s recipe
*It’s the breakfast that doesn’t require a skillet or even a bowl; It’s the easily prepared and transportable granola! This month we’re getting our crunch on with homemade granola recipes that can be enjoyed on the go or part of a complete breakfast. Check out all the Morning Clusters recipes here.

Every so often, I like something a little sweet for breakfast — like carrot cake. But we can’t bite into a big hunk of sugar every morning, so I transformed that cake favorite into a (much healthier) granola version.

Aunt Karen, you were my inspiration for this month’s guide. You’ve been feeding me ideas for flavor combinations and base recipes for months, and I couldn’t resist any longer. I used your base recipe and added some new flavors. Everyone, if you’re wondering where to find coffee syrup, it’s a Rhode Island thing, but you can buy it online. Dave’s Coffee Syrup is top of the line, but you can find other brands like Autocrat on Amazon.

Peanut butter and cocoa? Those are some year-round flavors, and this has become my year-round granola choice. The add-ins depend on the season: dried golden raisins or dried cranberries in the fall and winter, then switch to fresh berries for spring and summer.

I made a few easy tweaks to the original recipe, but the basic concept is definitely one I will repeat in the future. I love rhubarb, and it was really great to enjoy it in a non-pie or non-crumble form — no disrespect to those versions, of course. (The rhubarb-ginger compote pictured here is not a necessary addition, but still pretty incredible. Interested in the recipe? Let me know if it would be worth posting!)

This was my first quiche and it turned out really quiet fantastic. It was the perfect dish for the Easter brunch we hosted (and paired quiet well with some French toast, potatoes, mimosas and bloody Marys). You know what else this quiche would be perfect for? Mother’s Day!
