Sweet Treats

My weekends are for slightly sleeping in and enjoying late breakfasts. If I'm not feeling an omelette or egg whites, I steer towards something less healthy. I am a fan of Nutella crepes, croissants, and cinnamon rolls. Here are some of my favorite recipes for quick and sweet breakfast/ brunch treats. 

Trader Joe's ($3.99)

Take the frozen croissants from the box the night before and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Leave out on the counter to proof overnight. Preheat the oven to 350F, bake 22 minutes (20-25), and let them cool outside the oven for 10 minutes. Prepare for the most amazing chocolate croissants of your life.. 

Using a store bought canister of cinnamon rolls, just set in waffle maker and close for 3-4 minutes. Using a fork, remove the cinnamon waffles and top with icing!

1 1/8 cups flour

1 tbsp sugar 

pinch of salt 

3 eggs, beaten 

1 1/2 cups milk
