Henriettibles Pomegranate Granola

Henriettibles Pomegranate Granola Parfait

Henriettibles Pomegranate Granola Parfait

This pomegranate granola recipe came about because I was out of granola to put in my morning yogurt. I poked around my cabinets a little while and, voilà, awesome on a stick happened the first try. My good friend, Deb Carpenter, tried it and proclaimed, “This is the best granola I’ve EVER had. And I mean friggin EVER!”​ And she was eating it while drinking wine! Of course, the wine may have contributed to her enthusiasm….

Ingredients

​2 Cups slow cooking oats
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup chopped dried pomegranate (or cherries, blueberries or whatever you have on hand, but
the pomegranate is AHMAAAZING!)
2 tbs ground flaxseed (optional)
1/2 cup honey

​In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the honey. Make sure it is mixed well so you don’t end up with lumps of brown sugar. Add the honey in small portions and mix in between each addition.

Line a large jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Turn the mixture onto the lined jelly roll pan. Spread evenly to edges of pan. Bake in 350 oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to set for 10 to 15 minutes before disturbing. Either cut or break into pieces, or crumble into small pieces, but not cutting through the parchment paper. The parchment paper will peel right off the back. Enjoy!!!

Cinnamon Bun Coffee Cake

IMG_2203Try as I might, I just can’t seem to enjoy eating broccoli or fresh spinach (although they are my favorite vegetables!) as much as I enjoy eating a fresh, hot cinnamon bun. And they sure as hell don’t smell as good as a cinnamon bun!

I also love to entertain. Brunch is one of my favorite events to host. HOWEVER, that does limit your available time to prepare the day of the event; pre-prep is essential! This is a wonderful recipe to have the delicious taste and smell of cinnamon buns without the hassle of making buns from scratch.You can prep the coffee cake the night before, refrigerate overnight and, Voilà, you have amazing in the morning. Yes, this will probably add a little junk in your trunk (or buns) if you eat it every day, but it’s a fabalicious treat.

Ingredients

  • Cake

2⁄3 cup softened butter
3⁄4 cup sugar
3⁄4 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs, room temperature
2 cups flour
1 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
3⁄4 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

  • Topping

4 Tbs melted butter
3⁄4 cup light brown sugar
1 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
1⁄2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
1 tsp Jesse James Bourbon

  • Glaze 1 (Cream Cheese)

1 cup powdered sugar
1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp Jesse James Bourbon (use almond or vanilla extract if serving children!)
4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • Glaze 2

1 1⁄3 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
1 1⁄2 tsp Jesse James Bourbon (use almond or vanilla extract if serving children!)
2 Tbs milk
1⁄4 tsp salt

Directions for the Cake:

Prepare 9×13 pan. Preheat oven to 350°. Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until combined. Sift dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk to egg/butter mixture, alternating. Stir in nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Combine the topping ingredients very well. Sprinkle all around top of cake. Cover and refrigerate over night. When your ready to bake, remove cover and bake in preheated over for 35 minutes.

Directions for the Glazes:

Combine all ingredients with mixer. Drizzle (or pour if you really like it!) over warm coffee cake. I serve the glaze on the side and drizzle glaze on each piece as I serve it.

How easy was that???? Enjoy!
