My breakfast sang this morning. I felt like I was in a really good coffee shop and bakery, but I was at home. Homemade coffee creamer and wheat bread made my morning quiet time a little more divine.
Dark Chocolate Coffee Creamer
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Dark Dutch-processed cocoa
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- (I added 1/2 tsp of orange extract)
- Non-dairy coffee creamer
Directions
In a small pot, bring water and sugar to a boil and whisk in cocoa, vanilla, salt, and corn syrup and 1/ tsp any flavorings you would like to add (raspberry, orange, mint extracts). Whisk until all of the solids have dissolved. Reduce sauce until slightly thickened. Pour into bottle until it is half full. A old plastic liquid creamer bottle works great. I filled the bottle the rest of the way with unflavored non-dairy coffee creamer. I filled up three of these, put one in the refrigerator where it should keep for at least two weeks. The other two I put in the freezer. This coffee creamer also makes a great gift.
You can see the recipe I used for wheat bread in the ingredients picture. Here is the recipe I used. I tried White-wheat flour and had good results.
It felt good to see my made-from-scratch bread rise in the oven. The fresh-baked aroma and yummy bread defiantly blessed my family today. I hope you are blessed too!
