Wheat Bran Cranberry Quickbread

This loaf recipe makes a delicious breakfast. We also sometimes bake it in muffin form for a quickbreakfast on the go. You may also want to sprinkle to top with some raw sugar. It'll contrast nicely against the more bitter cranberries.  

½ cup Partially Sifted Flour
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Wheat Bran
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
1 egg
½  cup milk
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup oil
1 cup cranberries
½ cup walnut pieces

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In large bowl mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Blend the two together just until mixed. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. Pour batter in a greased loaf pan and bake for about an hour. Don't forget to let it cool before you start slicing in! 

Barley Banana Bread

This recipe uses only Barley Flour. But don’t worry, it rises just fine. Not to mention, it’s wonderfully delicious! 

½ cup butter
¾ cup sugar
3 ripe bananas mashed
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
4 tsp baking powder
2 cups Barley Flour
½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in mashed bananas. Beat in eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, combine baking powder, Barley Flour and nuts. Add slowly into the liquid mixture. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for about an hour or until an toothpick comes out clean.

Try Our Barley Pancake Mix

Barley Pancakes have a slightly nuttier taste to them. Enjoy them classically made with some local Birch Syrup or topped with freshly made strawberry sauce. 

Strawberry Banana Pancakes

Replace half of the milk with strawberry yoghurt. Add in a ripe mashed banana to the batter. Serve with sliced strawberries. 

Maple Pecan Pancakes

Add ¼ cup pure maple syrup (or more to taste) and ½ cup toasted pecans to the batter. No need to serve with syrup – maybe just a dusting of icing sugar!

Strawberry & Chevre Muffins

I was reluctant to try this recipe since I thought it was too early in the year to dive into our stock of frozen strawberries. However, these are delicious! They aren't too sweet and the goat cheese is creamy and decadent. 

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup red fife flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped strawberries
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers. Cream together butter and sugar then add in the egg and yogurt. Sift together dry ingredients and add into wet ingredients. Gently fold in the strawberries and goat cheese. Spread batter evenly into the muffin tins and sprinkle with a bit more cheese. The batter will be thick. Bake for 25 minutes.

Whole Wheat Pizzas

There are endless possibilities with our Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Mix. You can make a more traditional pepperoni and cheese pizza pie or get creative with whatever ingredients are fresh and plentiful. Just about anything tastes great on pizza!

Chicken Pesto Pizza

Swap your traditional tomato sauce for some fresh basil pesto. Top it with a bit of mozzarella, romano and parmesan cheeses. Add grilled chicken, fresh halved cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach and grilled red peppers. Our favourite! 

Better Than Store Bought Frozen Pizza

That's right... who needs store bought frozen pizza when you can do it so much better! Mix your crust as usual. Back the crust alone for about 3 minutes or just until it will hold its shape. Next, top it however you like, wrap and freeze. When you don't feel like making dinner preheat your oven to 400°F and pop your frozen pizza (unwrapped of course) right on the rack. Bake it until the crust is golden and the cheese is deliciously melty.

Dessert Pizza

Some might not know this but Jeff is a sucker for sweets. I make this as a special treat once in a blue moon. Make the dough according to the package and bake until it's golden brown. Once it has cooled, top with cream cheese icing (1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup cream cheese & 2 cups icing sugar) and whatever else you like. We've done strawberry banana, chocolate and caramel and even plain cinnamon.
