Freezer Meals part 2 Recipes
Several people wanted my recipes but I wasn’t sure what to post. I use and have over 100 freezer meal recipes. I will try to just post a few a week.
Usually for Breakfasts for freezer cooking I make big batches of things like muffins, pancakes, smoothies. The key is to flash freeze. I will make pancakes, place them on a cookie sheet in one layer in the freezer. Once frozen I will stack and place in a gallon size freezer bag. This way they don’t stick to eachother. Makes it easier when taking out a few at a time to throw in the microwave. Muffins, you can do this way too. For the smoothies I usually buy fresh fruit and freeze. When Aldi has whole pineapples on sale for $.99 I buy 4-5 of them then make chunk size pieces and freeze on a cookie sheet. This again keeps the fruit from freezing stuck together. We use this method for strawberries, watermelon in balls, grapes, cantaloupe, etc. Then we throw them in a blender with yogurt, a banana and some skim milk. Great quick breakfast.
We also do biscuits ahead of time. Our favorite recipe is Sky-High Biscuits. You make them, cut them out then freeze and place in freezer bag. Great time saver too.
- 3 c. flour
- 3/4 c. butter flavored shortening
- 4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 c. milk
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
Mix dry ingredients; cut in shortening. Mix in milk and egg. Press our with fingers, not too thin. Cut out and freeze. When ready to use, bake at 425 for about 15 min. or until golden brown. We usually triple this recipe to make enough for the month.

Guilt Free Double Chocolate Muffins
I love baking and my kids love to eat what ever comes out of the oven. So once in a while, when we are trying to be careful about what we eat, I try to sneak in a healthy treat. I will admit this is not always a successful venture. Their taste buds can sense the lack of sugar in a nano second and they quickly spit out the baked sugarless creation and disappear from sight. Leaving me with a countertop of healthy baked goods now declared “no man’s land.” A desolate space no one will touch until all signs of the recent sugar free intruder have disappeared. Once the word has spread, certain sugar free baked goods could sit there for days and no one would be tempted to try one again. I’m pretty sure this is how they protest my efforts to guide us towards a healthier way of eating.
When I found a recipe for a healthier version of a double chocolate muffins with chocolate chips, I was a little leery of how it would be received. To my surprise this double chocolate muffin was quickly gobbled down by the entire clan. My little boys were even calling them cupcakes. They even asked me to make them again! So I thought I pass this recipe along to you.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 c oats
3 egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or regular plain low fat yogurt)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar (or 1-1/2 Tbsp. vinegar)
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup hot water
1 cup sugar substitute (like Splenda granular) OR 1/4 cup + 2 tbs stevia
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or switch it up with any kind of chip you’d like.)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line a muffin pan with foil or paper liners.
In a blender combined all the ingredients until oats are smooth.
Place the mixture in a bowl and gently fold in half of the chocolate chips.
Divide into prepared muffin tins. (batter will be loose)
Place muffins in the oven for 10 mins and then pull them out of the oven.
Top with remaining chocolate chips and place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Test with a toothpick and remove when the toothpick comes out clean.
Quick and Easy Banana Bread
My family LOVES banana bread.
I hate making banana bread.
I can’t tell you how many black bananas I’ve thrown away because I just swore I was going to get around to it – eventually. I’ve even put them in the freezer to save for later, then I eventually throw away the freezer burned bananas, too.
So when I started seeing this recipe for banana bread pop up all over Pinterest, I knew I had to give it a try.
Ingredients
1 Yellow Cake Mix
3-4 very ripe Bananas (I used 4)
2 Eggs
Chocolate Chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 350*. Prepare 2 regular or one large loaf pan(s) by spraying WELL with cooking spray (or by greasing and flouring. Do people still do that?)
Peel the bananas and throw them all in a big bowl; use your mixer to mash them all up.
Now just dump in the cake mix and the eggs, and mix well. Then stir in the chocolate chips. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup to 1 cup. (I am lazy, so I just threw in the whole bag. I thought that was a little too chocolately and would only use 1/2 bag next time.)
Pour into the prepared loaf pans
and bake for 35-40 minutes (mine took 45. It will also take longer if you are doing one big pan). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then turn out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Uh…I told you to spray the pan well…
It was DELICIOUS. I will never make regular banana bread (or waste all those bananas!) again!
