Snickerdoodle Frappuccino -Blended Coffee

December 6, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

Snickerdoodle Frappuccino Recipe

It’s the holiday season, and although Snickerdoodle cookies are great year round, this time of year is when they tend to be given more spotlight as with other holiday type flavors. In fact, every once in awhile I stop by my favorite coffee shop and grab a blended snickerdoodle, one of my favorite drinks! A few days ago my mom found a recipe for Chai Tea and it was delicious so I thought why not try my favorite blended coffee drink at home?! I’ve made plenty of homemade frappuccinos but never really thought to try the snickerdoodle.

I found a general snickerdoodle coffee recipe, but it was for hot coffee so I adjusted the recipe for my snickerdoodle frappucino and it turned out delicious! I even tried it sugar free/keto with Monk Fruit Sweetener and it still tasted yummy! Check out the recipe below, give it a try and let me know what you think!

Snickerdoodle Frappuccino Ingredients

Snickerdoodle Frappuccino Ingredients

First gather your ingredients. You’ll most likely have these items, or most of them in your pantry.

  • 1/2 cup cold coffee
  • 3/4 tsp Cinnamon powder. I like the bag of Ceylon cinnamon powder I ordered a few years ago on Amazon from Whole Spice Co. That one is not available now but here’s a link to another bulk 1lb bag. I love how long the bulk cinnamon lasts! Get a 1lb bag on Amazon .
  • 1/4 tsp Allspice
  • 3/4 tsp Cocoa Powder. I use Hershey’s 100% Cocoa but I LOVE Ghirardelli baking cocoa, I just don’t normally find it at the store.
  • 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 3 Tbls Sugar or your favorite sweetener. I love Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla flavor or extract. I use Danncy Vanilla from Mexico
  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • 1/2 cup Half and half or heavy whipping cream. (or regular milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc…)

We’ll start by pouring the cooled coffee into the blender.

Pour Coffee into Blender

Next add the cinnamon….I love my 1lb bag of Ceylon cinnamon I bought on Amazon a few years ago. I’m just now getting to where I need to buy a new bag.

What’s the difference in Ceylon Cinnamon?

Here’s a short explanation from Livestrong.com. Cassia cinnamon is the normal type you buy at the store. Ceylon cinnamon is considered “true” cinnamon and appears to be healthier

“Ceylon cinnamon has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than cassia does, which may make it preferable for flavoring desserts and lighter dishes. But the more important distinction may be the presence of a chemical called coumarin, a natural plant chemical that acts as a blood thinner. This chemical is present in much higher concentrations in cassia than in Ceylon cinnamon. It is contraindicated for anyone taking prescription blood thinners. Coumarin has also been shown to be toxic to the liver and kidneys, and it may also be carcinogenic, which can negate any health benefits of cinnamon.”

Now add the Allspice to the blender…

Then add the Cocoa powder. I use Hersheys 100% cocoa, but I LOVE the Ghirardelli baking cocoa

Add the hershey's cocoa to the blender

Next add a little cream of tartar. This may seem odd to add to a frappuccino or coffee drink but if you know anything about Snickerdoodle cookies, the cream of tartar actually helps give the snickerdoodle it’s unique flavor. This is why I decided to try adding it to my recipe.

Now either sugar or sweetener whichever you choose. I’ve used both sugar and sweetener in this and it turned out excellent both times! Monk Fruit sweetener is currently my favorite.

Pour sugar or sweetener into blender

Pour in 1/4 tsp vanilla flavor or vanilla extract. I love the Danncy Vanilla extract that my mom brought me from Mexico. It’s very affordable and tastes great!

Add 1/4 tsp Vanilla to the blender

Now that you’ve got your coffee, spices and vanilla in the blender, it’s time for the last 2 ingredients! First I add the ice. I like to just fill up a 16oz cup nearly to the top and dump it in. It ends up being just the right amount. However if you want to use a measuring cup, it comes out to 1 1/2 cups of ice.

Fill 16 oz cup with ice
Pour ice into blender

1/2 cup of heavy cream… I know, I know, it’s a LOT of calories.. 400 to be exact, but this is a once in awhile treat! You can also use Half and half which would taste just as delicious, and if you want to cut out a lot of the calories/fat then just use your favorite low fat milk or a milk substitute like Almond milk or coconut milk.

Pour the heaving whipping cream into the blender and you are ready to blend! Using heavy cream makes this so nice and creamy and low carb, as long as you use sweetener instead of sugar. You can also try using more coffee and less cream.

1/2 cup Heavy whipping cream

I love cream.. Isn’t it just so smooth and beautiful? lol

Ok, time to blend. I LOVE my Oster blender! Oster has always been my favorite because they blend so well, but are also on the affordable side. If you don’t have automatic settings on your blender, then blend on low the first 20 seconds and pulse for the last 10-15 seconds to make sure it blends really well. You don’t want ice chunks! I like my frappuccinos nice and smooth.

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Recipe

October 16, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Low Carb Keto Friendly

We’ve got some nice pumpkins out in our little pumpkin patch this year, and I decided it would be good to make some pumpkin puree and freeze it. I first made a Pumpkin Spice Latte and it was delicious! For those of you that are hot coffee drinkers, you can find the pumpkin spice latte recipe here on my Home Coffee Recipes website. So today I decided to try a pumpkin spice frappuccino. (I actually forgot to put the pumpkin spice in and it still tasted delicious, but I’ve added it to the recipe)

I didn’t follow any specific recipe, I just made my own concoction and dumped it all in lol I’ve been making flavored coffee drinks at home for years, so I’ve gotten pretty good at getting the amounts right for the right flavor.

Let me tell you, I wasn’t quite sure how this was going to turn out though. I decided at the last minute to try the new Monk Fruit sweetener I bought off Amazon. I’ve used it in a few things now and I really like it, but I wasn’t sure how it would taste with the pumpkin spice frappuccino.  It was perfect! I did go a little on the heavy side, 1/4 cup, but It seems you need to use more of this sweetener to get it sweet enough. Thankfully it is calorie free! 1/4 cup of the Monk Fruit sweetener was perfect for my taste though.

Ok, so let’s get this pumpkin spice frappuccino party started!

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Recipe

First, here are the ingredients…

  • 1/4 cup coffee
  • 1.5 cups ice
  • 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener
  • 1 Cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla (I used Danncy Vanilla that my mom brought home from Mexico. They have it here on Amazon: Danncy Vanilla)
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Add 1.5 cups of ice or just fill a 20oz glass a bit less than full. Then 1 cup of pumpkin puree.

Pumpkin Frappuccino Step 1-Add ice and pumpkin puree

Next add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Pumpkin Frappuccino Step 2 add heavy whipping cream

Then add 1/4 cup coffee, 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1/4 cup of Monk Fruit Sweetener. You can also add 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice here as well. I forgot to add it in mine but it would have been even more amazing if I had!

Pumpkin Frappuccino step 3 add vanilla and monk fruit sweetener

Now it’s time to blend! Blend the frappuccino for about 30 seconds, making sure it’s nice and smooth. A lot of people don’t blend their frappuccino’s very well and end up with little chunks of ice. Of course, if you like the chunks of ice then blend for less time 😉

If you don’t have a good blender, I recommend Oster for a really good, affordable blender. I love mine!

After it’s blended nice and smooth and creamy, pour that delicious goodness into a glass…..

Add some whipped cream and sprinkle some pumpkin pie spice on top (nutmeg or cinnamon will do if you don’t have pumpkin pie spice) and enjoy!! Of course you can leave out the whipped cream if you don’t want the extra sugar.

Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Low Carb Keto Friendly

I love this recipe and I was surprised at how good it tasted even though I left out the real sugar and made it low carb/keto friendly. I’m not on the keto diet and don’t plan to be, but I’m all for replacing some things with a low carb version and using less added sugar. This turned out super yummy without regular sugar so I’ll definitely be making it like this again!

Baked Zucchini Recipe-Quick and Easy!

September 19, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Zucchini is in full swing this time of year here in the Pacific Northwest, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by this summer squash! One second it’s small and you’re like, oh I’ll pick it in a day or two, and the next second you’re like Whoa!!! It’s as big as a house! What am I going to do with this huge zucchini!

There are so many things you can do with zucchini.

  • Zucchini bread, a favorite and go-to for many!
  • Zucchini lasagna
  • Zucchini casserole
  • Baked zucchini (what I’ll show you today!)
  • BBQ zucchini
  • Zucchini spaghetti
  • Cheesy zucchini tots
  • Zucchini Quiche
  • Cheesy zucchini rice
  • Zucchini brownies
  • Zucchini boats
  • Zucchini pancakes
  • Zucchini on homemade pizza

And so much more! I’ll be posting more zucchini recipes soon, so be prepared to be inundated over the next month. I’ve frozen much of the zucchini we’ve picked so far, so I have plenty to try out new recipes.

I am going to kick off the zucchini season with a very simple baked zucchini recipe. This is so easy! Even though grating zucchini for zucchini bread is pretty easy, it still gets a bit messy, so some days you just don’t really want to deal with it! Well, if you really need to use some of your zucchini and you’re not sure exactly what to do that’s super easy, just SLICE it! Especially if it’s one that you picked after it suddenly grew to the size of a house! lol

Just slice that baby up into half inch rounds. Easy peasy!

Slice the Zucchini

 

Then put the zucchini slices into a bowl with about 1/4 cup of oil of your choice or butter. Some ideas are: Olive oil (may not want to use extra virgin if you don’t like that strong flavor), Canola or vegetable oil, Avocado oil (This would taste amazing!), coconut oil(haven’t tried that yet, but it might give it an interesting twist), butter (a definite win!)

Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder and a little pepper if you like. You can use any seasonings you want of course. Parmesan cheese, onion powder, maybe some minced fresh garlic cloves, basil, oregano, sliced onions, the sky is the limit!

Add Zucchini to Bowl

Now, mix it all up and you can either put the slices on the baking sheet right away if you don’t have much time, or you can let them sit and marinate for a bit. I’d say 10-30min. The longer you let them soak, the stronger the flavor will be.

Once you have the zucchini slices on the baking sheet, slide them into a 350F degree oven and bake for about 15min.

Bake Zucchini in Oven

Another great way to cook your zucchini slices is to put them on the barbecue. BBQ your zucchini for an even richer flavor! Just leave the zucchini slices on for 4-5min. and then flip them. BBQ 3-4 min. on that side and your done!

And there you have it! Very yummy, very easy, baked or bbq zucchini!
