Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spread the walnuts out on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl. Lightly coat the aluminum foil with canola oil.
  • In a second bowl, combine the corn syrup, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine, breaking up any lumps of cinnamon. Add the walnuts and toss to coat thoroughly. Pour the walnuts onto the oiled baking sheet.

BANANA GRANOLA WITH CINNAMON, NUTMEG AND WALNUTS



Banana Granola With Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Walnuts image

This banana bread-inspired granola uses real mashed banana, coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and toasted nuts. Keeping it simple allows the subtle banana flavor to shine through, but you can tweak the recipe by adding dried coconut flakes, sesame or pumpkin seeds, more spices, or even chocolate chips or dried fruit. Breaking the granola into large clusters halfway through baking ensures the granola cooks evenly. Allow the granola to sit for at least one hour on the counter to harden completely. Double the recipe if you'd like to stock up your freezer. It will keep at least three months there, at the ready for snacking, or can be served for breakfast, in bowls with milk and freshly sliced banana.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, snack

Time 1h

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup/5 ounces mashed bananas (from about 1 large or 2 small ripe or overripe bananas)
1/4 packed cup/55 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/50 grams melted virgin coconut oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/200 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup/30 grams walnut halves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the mashed banana to a medium saucepan along with the brown sugar and coconut oil. Stir to combine. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the pot comes to a sputtering boil. (You'll hear it popping.) Cook for another 60 to 90 seconds, swirling the pan often so the mixture doesn't burn.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, allow the sputtering to subside, then stir in the lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the oats and walnuts until combined.
  • Spread the mixture out on the prepared sheet pan in an even layer. Using a spatula, press the oats down into a layer that is about 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating halfway through, then remove the sheet pan from the oven and, using a butter knife, break the granola into large, 2- to 2 1/2-inch clusters on the baking sheet.
  • Spread the clusters evenly around the pan and bake again until the clusters are a deep golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes, rotating and tossing halfway through so they don't burn.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and allow the granola to cool for at least 30 minutes on the counter to harden slightly. Once the granola has cooled, break it up with your hands into small or medium clusters, depending on preference. Allow to cool completely, at least one more hour.
  • Transfer the granola to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to a month (or in the freezer, where it'll stay crisp for at least 3 months).

CINNAMON ROLLS WITH CARAMEL AND WALNUTS TOPPING



Cinnamon Rolls With Caramel and Walnuts Topping image

Maybe it scares you the title but actually it's pretty easy to do and the resultÂ... it's very yummy!! To tell you the truth I started this recipe a night before. I prepared the dough and it stayed in the fridge the whole night! The next morning I just put in the cinnamon filling and let the rolls rest for another 30 minutes then it goes for baking into the oven.

Provided by nokocuisine

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 1 roll, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 milk
1/4 butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
3 cups cake flour
3/4 brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • We start with the dough. Dissolve 1 ts of sugar in a ½ cup of lukewarm water. Add 1 tbs of dried yeast, mix and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. After the 10 minutes it should rise and make bubbles.
  • While the mix of sugar, yeast and water is resting, pour into a pot ¼ cup sugar, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup butter. Put it on a low-medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the vanilla extract and let it cool down.
  • In a large bowl beat the 2 eggs with 1 ts of salt until they become foamy. Add the lukewarm mix of milk, sugar and butter. Continue mixing then add the yeast.
  • Add 2 cups of flour and continue mixing at low speed until the flour is incorporated.
  • Add the rest of the flour bit by bit, until the dough is not too sticky.
  • Sprinkle some flour on your table and knead for about 10 minutes. Keep sprinkling flour if the dough is still sticky.
  • Grease with butter a clean bowl, grease the dough with butter too and wrap in plastic film. Let it rest for at least one hour and a half in a warm place. If you prepare the dough a night before, put it in the fridge like I did.
  • Preheat the oven at 180°C Grease a tray pan with butter and lining it with parchment paper.
  • For the topping, caramelize the sugar in a pan. Careful not to burn it. When it takes a beautiful amber color add the boiling cream and stir well until all the caramelized sugar dissolves into the cream forming a nice caramel cream. Add the walnuts and spread the topping into the tray.
  • For the filling just mix together all the ingredients.
  • Using a rolling pin spread the dough into a 40 cm/30 cm sheet. Spread the filling over the dough equally and start rolling. Be sure to roll the dough pretty tight. With a sharp knife cut the rolls about 6 cm wide.
  • Place the rolls into the baking tray over the caramel topping and be sure to let enough space between because they will rise more.
  • Cover the tray with a damp cloth and let it rest for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  • Bake the rolls for about 30-35 minutes (depending on your oven). Be sure to check after 25 minutes. When catch a nice golden-brown color it's time to get them out of the oven.
  • Let it rest for 2-3 minutes ( do not wait more because the caramel topping becomes hard and you won't be able to get your cinnamon rolls out). Place a large plate on top of the tray and flip it. The caramel topping it's on top now!
  • Enjoy!

BREAD MACHINE CINNAMON BUNS WITH WALNUTS & RAISINS



Bread Machine Cinnamon Buns With Walnuts & Raisins image

This is a take on recipe #43744: Bread Machine Cinnamon-Pecan Buns, which I changed a little. The dough is so wonderful and rises incredibly, and the sauce - oh, the sauce! They're just packed with walnuts and raisins, too - a real treat! I've also added an optional drizzle, for those that must have icing on their cinnamon buns!

Provided by Katzen

Categories     Breakfast

Time 3h5m

Yield 12 Buns, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons skim milk powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 egg, beaten
4 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup walnut halves
3/4 cup golden raisin
3 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup golden raisin
2 cups icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 -2 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Measure first 8 ingredients into bread machine (refer to your bread machine instructions for the proper order). Select the dough cycle.
  • Meanwhile, prepare syrup: Boil together butter, water and brown sugar for 1 minute.
  • Immediately, pour syrup into a 9 X 13 pan; tilt pan to cover bottom evenly.
  • Arrange walnuts, flat side up on syrup; scatter raisins on top.
  • When bread machine cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Roll dough into a 12 X 18 inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle evenly with the mixture of brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and golden raisins on top. Starting at large side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Pinch edge to seal. Cut roll into 12 equal pieces. To avoid too much filling from escaping, I first cut the roll in half, then each half in half, and then each quarter in thirds. Place rolls flat over syrup.
  • Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until double in volume.
  • Remove cover and bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Loosen edges and carefully invert onto serving tray.
  • To make icing: Mix icing sugar and cinnamon together; add maple syrup and 1 tbsp milk, mix. If needed, add more milk. Icing should be stiff - but not too stiff - and not too runny either. I like to leave the icing on the side to allow folks to decide to use it or not.
  • Enjoy!

AYLENISH RUGELACH WITH ORANGE, WALNUTS AND CINNAMON



Aylenish Rugelach With Orange, Walnuts and Cinnamon image

Once upon a time, good Jewish housewives (known as balaboostas in Yiddish) all knew how to make pastries like strudel, rugelach and schnecken from scratch, using a cream-cheese-enriched dough supposedly stretched thin enough that you could read the newspaper through it. This was a day's work, but with the arrival of good-quality puff pastry on the market, modern bakers can quickly ("aylenish" in Yiddish) produce this close cousin: a sweet, fragrant filling of nuts, spices and dried fruit wrapped in rich dough. Orange marmalade gives a tart undertone (and the faintest suggestion of a Christmas fruitcake), but apricot or raspberry jam are also considered classic.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield About 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/55 grams golden raisins
1/4 cup/60 milliliters rum (optional)
2 tablespoons/25 grams granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons/30 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, preferably fresh
1/2 cup/60 grams chopped toasted walnuts
Salt
1 cup/340 grams orange marmalade
About 1 pound/500 grams puff pastry
1 egg yolk, whisked with a splash of milk or water

Steps:

  • Soak raisins in rum and 1/2 cup very hot water. In a medium bowl, combine both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts and a pinch of salt. Drain raisins (discard soaking liquid) and mix them into sugar mixture. In a saucepan, melt marmalade until runny. Remove any large chunks orange peel.
  • Cut about a 4-ounce piece of puff pastry and roll out on a floured board into a rectangle, about 17 inches by 7 1/2 inches. The pastry should be thin and supple enough to drape, but not so thin that holes start to appear when rolling.
  • Brush a 2 1/2-inch-wide stripe of marmalade down the long center of the rectangle. Sprinkle marmalade with filling and fold top edge down over filling. Brush the top of filled section with marmalade and sprinkle marmalade with filling. Fold bottom edge up over the filling to make a kind of flattened roll; do not press. Cut in half crosswise and refrigerate rolls for 20 to 30 minutes, or freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees; use the convection setting if you have it. Cut rolls across into 1/2-inch-wide slices. Place slices, seam side down, on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick liners. Brush tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Let cool slightly before removing to a cooling rack. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Store at room temperature in layers separated by parchment paper, in airtight containers.

CINNAMON ROLLS WITH WALNUTS



Cinnamon Rolls with Walnuts image

I looked on-line for cinnamon rolls that weren't deep fried, and found two pictures that were of the same cinnamon rolls, but with different recipes, so I used information from both. PLEASE NOTE, I've made these since my first posting, and they come out moister, and better, if you pack them in a rectangular 9X12 inch baking...

Provided by Abraham Goldstein

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 5h25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 tsp yeast - one package if using prepackaged yeast
1 c warm water
1/4 c plain yoghurt
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c cooking oil
1 egg
4 c flour
CINNAMON ROLL FILLING
1 c sugar
3 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c chopped walnuts - the finer these are, the easier it is to roll
1 stick butter - i used about 70 grams of softened butter
CONFECTIONERS SUGAR GLAZE
2 c confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp warm water

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of WARM water. Allow to sit about 5 minutes. Stir to make sure all of the yeast is dissolved. Whenever I use yeast, I always add a little sugar to the water so I can see how fast the yeast is working.
  • 2. In a large bowl, add the four cups of flour and make a hole in the center to add the yeast mixture, the yoghurt, sugar, oil and egg. Let the sticky mixture rest for 8 minutes.
  • 3. Using a plastic spatula, scrape the dough out onto a floured board and kneed it until it becomes smooth. If it's too sticky, cover your hands with flour and kneed it.
  • 4. Put dough in a large bowl with lightly oiled sides. I used butter, but oil will work. Cover and set in a warm place using plastic wrap to cover the top of the bowl.. Allow to rise until the dough has doubled in size.
  • 5. Once the dough has risen - I waited about three hours for it to more than double - On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and then roll it out into a large rectangle. Generously spread the room temperature butter over the top of the rectangle of dough.
  • 6. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and the sugar and sprinkle evenly over the top of the buttered dough.
  • 7. Sprinkle the chopped walnut pieces evenly over the sugar-cinnamon mixture. (OPTIONAL)
  • 8. Beginning at the widest side, roll up as evenly and tightly as possible. Cut into rolls at 1 inch intervals with kitchen knife.
  • 9. Place on a greased cookie sheet, or parchment-covered cookie sheet or baking dish. Cover and set in a warm, dry place until doubled in size.
  • 10. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven to begin to cool. While still warm , drizzle with the glaze.
  • 11. TO PREPARE THE GLAZE: In a small mixing bowl, add vanilla to the sifted confectioner's sugar. VERY SLOWLY add warm water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture gets to a consistency to allow you to drizzle it over the warm cinnamon rolls. If you get it too thin, simply add more sugar.
