Peach Pancakes With Cinnamon Honey Butter {Recipe}

The kids are on Spring Break, so with all of us home the week I thought it would be fun to create a meal from a vacation destination. The kids often ask about Las Vegas, the bright lights, the shows and since Al and I have only been there once when we were first married I thought this might be a fun place to "pretend" to visit through food. 

 I decided to pick a dish off the menu from the Wynn Resorts in Las Vegas created by the famous chef Tai Ronnen.  The Wynn Resorts have a great menu, where I found my inspiration ... peach pancakes with honey butter! 

Here are my recipes to recreate this dish:

Cinnamon Honey Butter

1/2 cup room temp butter

1/8 cup honey

1/8 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Using a mixer, beat together the butter and honey until combined, then slowly add the powdered sugar and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. *Refrigerate after use

Peach Compote

2qty 15 oz cans of sliced peaches with juice

1/3 cups light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Combine peaches with juice, brown sugar and lemon juice in a sauce pan and bring to a boil (watch carefully so it doesn't boil over). Turn down heat to a simmer until juice has thickened into a syrup. Keep warm until ready to serve. Refrigerate left overs. 

Cinnamon Applesauce Pancakes

2 cups Bisquick

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 eggs

1qty 12 oz can Evaporated Milk

1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, combine wet ingredients in another bowl, then combine everything together. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, pour batter onto a lightly greased griddle. Sides will brown quicker, because of the sugar in the mix. 

These three recipes work so well together and would be great on their own with other items. My family loved these pancakes and we are now excited to make our way to Las Vegas someday and try out chef Tai Ronnen's version at the Wynn Resorts. 

Breakfast Quesadilla Recipe

Sometimes when I am in a hurry or just not feeling inspired about making breakfast I create a hash of sorts. Scramble some eggs, brown some breakfast sausage and hash brown, maybe throw in some veggies, mix everything together and plate it.

Well I was feeling a little inspired and wanted to try something new. I buttered one side of a flour tortilla, placed it in a pan over medium heat, added a little shredded cheese, then piled on some of my hash, another sprinkle of cheese and to top it, another buttered tortilla. Flip the quesadilla over once the bottom side is browned and repeat.

These turned out really yummy and everyone loved them! Give them a try, make your own fun mix of food and see how it tastes inside a crispy tortilla sandwich!

In A Hurry Scrumptious Banana Muffins {Recipe}

My family loves banana bread, but sometimes we just don't have an hour to wait for a fresh loaf to bake. So I have started making what I call the "in a hurry scrumptious banana muffin". 

In A Hurry Scrumptious Banana Muffins

Makes approx. 12 muffins 

4 mashed ripe bananas

1/2 C white sugar

1 egg, beaten

1/3 C melted butter

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 C flour

Step 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2. Place parchment paper cupcake wrappers in a cupcake/muffin tin or use cooking spray in each cavity and set aside. 

Step 3. Whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour together in a bowl and set aside. Step 4. In a separate bowl combine the mashed bananas, sugar, egg and butter together.

Step 5. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix well. 

Step 6. Pour batter into muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately 2/3 full. 

Step 7. Bake for approximately 20 minutes and check with a toothpick. 

If you have any left over, place the extras in a ziplock bag and store in refrigerator or freezer. Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips to your recipe. We like ours plain with melted butter fresh out of the oven!

Give them a try! 

DFTBA,
