Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Butter, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish
  • Extra maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over each slice of bread, then drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with lemon zest.
  3. Roll each slice of bread tightly from one end to the other to create a roulade. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter.
  5. Dip each roulade in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side before placing in the skillet.
  6. Cook the roulades for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.
  7. Slice the roulades into pinwheels and serve warm, garnished with powdered sugar and extra maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For an added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts between the layers before rolling.

For a lighter version, consider using low-fat ricotta cheese or substituting half of the ricotta with Greek yogurt. You can also experiment with different flavorings by adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the filling.

Make it ahead of time by preparing the roulade and refrigerating it overnight. Just slice and cook in the morning for a fuss-free brunch. To store leftovers, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  6. While pancakes are cooking, prepare the compote by combining diced mango, chopped basil, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mango softens and the mixture thickens slightly.
  7. Serve pancakes warm, topped with the mango-basil compote.

Notes

Tip: For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use a plant-based milk.

For best results, allow the pancake batter to rest for about 10 minutes before cooking to let the chia seeds absorb some moisture and swell up. This will result in thicker and fluffier pancakes.

If you don’t have fresh mango, you can substitute it with other fruits like peaches or pineapple. Additionally, try adding a squeeze of lime juice to the compote for an extra zing!

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave before serving.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

FOR THE GANACHE

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
  7. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over the chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes.
  8. Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the cooled brownie cups.
  9. Allow the ganache to set before garnishing with additional crushed hazelnuts, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a mocha twist, add 1 tablespoon of coffee or espresso to the batter for an additional boost of flavor.

To achieve the best texture, be careful not to overbake the brownie cups; they should be soft in the center. You can substitute the hazelnuts with walnuts or almonds for a different flavor profile. For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the brownie batter.

These brownie cups can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerated for up to a week. They also freeze well—simply thaw before serving and enjoy!
