TEENS “A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN”
:
A Perfect Culinary Blend Cooking and Baking
Recipes
My book reflects “anything goes if it tastes good.” It consists of the perfect culinary blend,
cooking and baking. No boundaries are followed; spice blends and flavor profiles are built
as you cook and bake. The ingredient listings for each recipe provide you with the type of
preparation needed for each ingredient. I have done this so you may prepare these items
ahead of time—for ease in cooking and baking, less redundant reading. All recipes have
been kitchen tested, so they are pretty much fail proof. Teens and young adults today
always rush or are on the go, yet eager to try new recipes and food combinations. I am
delighted to share these recipes with you; feel free to make changes to appeal to your own
flavor profiles. I am confident these recipes will be easy to follow and easy to prepare.
Have fun and remember to taste the food as you prepare it—refine it.

Amaretto Bran Muffin
My family doesn’t think of these muffins as a “healthy” must-eat food. It is
more like a dessert and a treat sensation.
Oven Temperature: 350°F
Yield: 60 (2”) muffins

1 cup cherries, pitted, coarsely chopped, and drained (may use dried cherries)
¼ cup amaretto liqueur or amaretto-flavored syrup
½ teaspoon cardamom seeds
½ cup water
¼ cup bran cereal
1 cup grape-nut cereal (ground fine in a food processor)
¾ cup oatmeal
1 cup sugar
1/3cup oil (canola, vegetable, or other)
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1½cup buttermilk
1½cup flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon salt
1½teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup almonds, coarsely chopped, toasted
GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
2 tablespoonsmaraschino cherry juice

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix together the cherries and the amaretto
flavoring. Set aside so the ingredients can meld flavors.
2. In a kettle, boil water, add the cardamom seeds, and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Remove from heat and remove cardamom seeds and toss them out. To the hot
water, add the ¼ cup of bran cereal to the hot water, stir, and let stand. Cereal will
start to dissolve-; that is expected. Set aside to cool.
3. In a separate bowl, mix ground bran cereal, oatmeal, and sugar together until
combined. Add in oil, eggs, and buttermilk, stirring until combined.
4. Combine the warm bran mixture into the other ingredients. Stir until combined.
Set aside.
5. In another mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Add the toasted
almonds.
6. Combine the dry ingredients and the warm bran mixture together. Stir until
blended. Set aside.
7. Mix the amaretto-flavored cherries into the muffin mixture. Gently toss to
combine them into the batter.
8. Pour batter evenly into greased mini muffin pans, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
9. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for about 10 minutes or until done. When a
toothpick is inserted, it should come out clean.
10. Serve these warm or cold. These may be eaten as is or with a glaze on top.
GLAZE
1. Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir until blended. Drizzle over muffins.
2. Serve with fresh butter, jams or jellies, or with cream cheese, fruits, and whipping
cream.
