Cinnamon Streusel Baked Donuts

So here’s the thing.  Wes is apparently not ever in the mood to sleep these days.  Not at night, not during naptimes, nothing.

I love my little dude so stinking much, but how do you tell a 4-month-old that mama needs sleep to be able to play all day long, make up silly songs, snuggle and read?  ‘Cause you know they don’t speak English (or really any other language for that matter)…and the whole reasoning bit kind of flies out the window.  Promise, I’ve tried.

 

Yes, tried to reason with a baby.  I guess you never know when it might work!

 

So on the eve of our first flight together I’ve decided to share my favorite donut recipe to date – because if there’s anything that I like to eat when I’m having to prop my eyelids open with toothpicks it’s soft warm donuts with mounds of buttery-cinnamony-salty goodness baked on top.

CINNAMON STREUSEL BAKED DONUTS

For the donuts:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp plain yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the streusel:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp oatmeal
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Preheat your oven to 375.  In a bowl whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt and vanilla until smooth.  Gently fold in the flour, baking powder and salt.  Spray a 6-donut mold with nonstick spray and evenly distribute the batter into the donut molds.  For the streusel you can do one of two things:  one is toss everything in a food processor and pulse until crumbly (this is what I did).  If you don’t want to dirty the processor or don’t have one, mash everything together with a fork until crumbly.  Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping onto the batter and gently press it into the batter.  Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes – no longer or else they’ll be dry!  You MAY have to gently push the streusel back onto the donut while it’s still warm (which I did), but I promise you’re going to want every bit of that glory on your donut.  Let cool for 5 minutes before eating!

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to talk to Wes about the chances of him sleeping and eating well on the plane tomorrow.  He’ll probably just flash me a big gummy smile and coo at my eyebrows, but it’s worth a shot right?

    These look so ridiculously good. I have a little 2.5 week old at home – whom I also love so stinkin’ much – and I’m wondering if I’ll ever have the energy to cook/bake again. You give me hope my friend – even if it’s delirious, sleep-deprived hope.

    Do you think putting the streusel in the pan before the batter would work? Good luck with the flight!

      hey claire! actually i tried that way first and while i think it would turn out prettier (if it worked), it actually just makes the streusel stick to the bottom of the pan…the brown sugar caramelizes and no matter how many times greased the pan (butter, oil, nonstick spray) it just turned out better to put it on top 🙂

Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach

- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
🥗 FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are 🥗 FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, “you can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.” That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

🥗Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

🥗High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

🥗Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1️⃣Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2️⃣The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3️⃣Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4️⃣A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. 🍳 Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because 😋.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
