Posted on October 8, 2014 by Cindy Kerschner

Sweet Potato and Quinoa Casserole
I’m so excited to be sharing my Sweet Potato Quinoa Casserole today with you at Take a Bite Out of Boca ! Shaina has such great tips and tasty recipes. We belong to some of the same foodie groups online and even met in real life this past summer at the Food and Wine Conference in Florida!
This casserole is packed with nutrient dense sweet potatoes and quinoa with a few toasted pecans thrown in to add a bit of crunch. It’s perfect to welcome in fall. So colorful and festive!
See you there!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Iced Cake Donuts

Peanut Butter and chocolate are the perfect pair. Put these ingredients in a donut and you have a little slice of Heaven. Use My Sweet Mercy baking mix and you’re donuts will be irresistible!
For those who missed my Grown Up Chocolate Chip Cookies post, here is the backstory. This baking mix is a lifesaver. Literally. That’s the story behind My Sweet Mercy.
For Robyn Heirtzler, baking became a passion that helped her work thorough some of her darkest moments while dealing with depression. Now she is passing some of her strength on to others by donating part of the proceeds from her baking mixes to help others worldwide.
Robyn so graciously sent me a package of her Vanilla Baking Mix to try.

Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
Serves: 9 donuts
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cup vanilla baking mix
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¾ cup condensed 2 percent milk
  • ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Lightly spray a donut pan with cooking spray or apply a light coating of oil with a paper towel.
  2. Place baking mix into a medium-sized bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix together milk, egg, peanut butter and brown sugar. Fold wet ingredients into baking mix.
  4. Fill donut cups about ⅔ of the way full. I put the dough in a pastry bag or zip bag with the corner cut off to squeeze dough into pan. Bake at 325 for 10 to 12 minutes until donuts spring back under slight pressure.
  5. Cook in pan a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
