This 5 ingredient treat is a DREAM!

Whether I am wanting something to serve with breakfast, or just a little treat to go with coffee, this is a so easy to make that if unexpected guests stop by you can have these hot out of the oven by the time the coffee has brewed and is being poured.

One time I ended up with a whole house full of guests. I hadn’t been to the store for a few days and my cookie jar was totally empty.

Being resourceful, I quickly popped several pieces of bread into the toaster and and made cinnamon toast triangles! Not the classiest, but how can you go wrong with butter and cinnamon?

Oh how I wish I had a batch of these in the freezer! And if you are limited on space, you can always freeze a cup of cream and keep in the freezer so at least you have the ingredients on hand!
Kaylene said she also tried this with sugar free lemonade and it tasted great so for a lower calorie option I might have to give that a try.

This is what Kaylene of The Link Site says about her easy scone recipe.

They’re packed with fruit, simple to make, and you only need 5 ingredients!These Fruit Scones also freeze really well, so if you want to make up a big batch and then put some in the freezer you can! I hope you enjoy these fruit scones as much as my family and I do!

A yummy cross between two of our family favorites! This recipe has all the flavor, without all the calories.

I am always trying new muffin recipes that are hearty, healthy, and will help fuel up our family. With this cross recipe, I think I found a winner! Plus, it is a lower calorie version of many of the muffin recipes I have tried.

Being able to replace half the oil with unsweetened applesauce really helps to keep the muffins from being heavy and dense. Because these muffins are full of carrots, apples, and raisins, they are perfect for a quick snack.

My husband, John, works in the construction industry. He often eats breakfast and starts his day long before the sun comes up. Needing a healthy mid-morning snack is something I try to pack in his lunch. Having muffins that pack well are a big hit.

Adding raisins or dried cranberries to a batter is not anything new, but this is the first time I have ever soaked the dried fruit before adding it. I loved how it turned out.

Quick Tip: If you have bananas that are starting to get freckled and are beyond eating. Try mashing up and replacing the applesauce. I am a huge fan of not letting food go to waste and having a plan for when your fruit starts to look like it might be beyond it’s shelf life helps you be “pantry frugal”!
