Hi chocolate pizza pies!
I always marvel how my posts involving peanut butter are much more popular than the others. They even seem to be more popular than my posts involving chocolate. You people need to sort out your priorities! Chocolate should always come first.
Still, I’m glad you liked the Peanut Butter Frosting post. Today’s post involves peanut butter too. But more importantly, it involves the power couple: cinnamon and raisin. Some things are made for each other. Chocolate and raspberry, peanut butter and jelly, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Hmmm, scratch that last one.
The marriage of cinnamon and raisins is guaranteed to last forever. If you need proof, just take a look at the snack I ate yesterday afternoon:
The cinnamon-raisin breakfast pizzert. I added both to the wet mix, then added more cinnamon after it emerged from the oven.
Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Pizzert
Serves 1-2
- 1/2 cup spelt or white flour (or click for a Gluten-Free Version.) (70g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/16 tsp uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar of choice
- 1/3 cup plus 1.5 tbsp water, juice, or milk of choice
- 2 tbsp (35g) applesauce or melted coconut oil (or veg oil, mashed banana, or even baby food!)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
Mix everything together and pour the batter into a greased pan. Grease very well so the pizzert doesn’t stick to the pan! Cook in an UNpreheated oven set to 420 F, for 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Frost with peanut butter or healthy peanut butter frosting if desired.

I have no desire to get married. I’m not saying that won’t change — it might — but at this point, I can’t see it being something I want.
And I don’t really know any cute old couples. All of my grandparents are divorced and dead except my step-dad’s parents, and I never really thought of them as cute. More like boring.
Old couples are adorable! The movie UP gets me every time too with that couple. I have been married for almost 16 years and I am 36, so yeah, I believe marriage is a great thing. I happen to be with my best friend though, so it works out great. You have to be willing to change with someone and accept them for who they are completely. Now, that has to go both ways, but it does work. Trust me, we are not the same kids we were when we first met. It is a great thing to be with someone like that…and I am the girl that is high maintenance and thinks she is low maintenance. I hope you find that some day!
I hope so too! I hope you know how lucky you are! Oh, and now I need to go watch the movie UP! 🙂
I love that ur peanut butter posts are so popular! It is just the Food of the Gods (along with, coconut butter of course!) and everyone relates to it in their own way (using new 7-blend butters, lusting after it bc they’re allergic, using some new powdered stuff, creamy die-hard,etc. etc.!).
My views on marriage..It’s def not one of my goals, right now I’m imagining a great relationship with someone.. and live together on the sailboat I’m going to sail the world on..but I don’t feel too strongly about having a marriage license and all that, but this is still quite hypothetical. I joke with my friends who are couples (I’m in college) that I’ll be the marriage-renouncing guest at their Thanksgiving table!
Love cinnamon and raisin, haven’t tried it with peanut butter but it sounds like a great idea!
Marriage? I’d have to say I love it. I got married at 19 and have been married 20 years. Since I’ve been married longer than I’ve been single I guess that means it works for me. I know people say it’s work, but I haven’t found that. I think my husband feels it more than I do (does that mean I’m work?!!) But he’s always saying we need to go out more and have date nights. While of course I love a night out, I don’t feel I need it. I love my family and my husband!
Hahaha so cute! I bet my husband’s gonna say that about me; that I’m a lot of work. But hopefully he won’t mind when I’m stuffing his face with raw chocolate treats ;).
My philosophy is to always live my life to the fullest and reach for the goal of doing what I love most. I know that regardless of whether or not I meet my Prince Charming in the near or distant future, my life is full and I am complete. What better way to meet the man of my dreams than along the path of pursuing what I love to do most?! 🙂 I’m reading PW’s new book right now and I have to say, I wouldn’t mind meeting myself a cowboy!!! 🙂
Sorry Katie, but peanut butter totally trumps chocolate.
As for marriage, I’m not a fan. Mostly because our gay brothers and sisters are denied that right. I can’t get behind an institution that discriminates based on who you love. That being said, my BFF is getting married this year, and I’m looking forward to the after-party and the food. I’m making her vegan cupcakes. If I were to ever get married, it’d only be because I want a big ole vegan cake….and a wild reception with lots of booze.
I think I may be addicted to peanut butter. I smother it on everything, especially at breakfast! Help me. 😉
As for the marriage thing- I know what you mean! All of my friends already ARE married and a few of them have kids! I myself do believe in marriage, but am in no rush to get married.
I’m 25 and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years and we both know that we want to be with each other for the rest of our lives, we are both fully committed and already act as if we are partners 🙂
I think being single can be awesome though! I loved being single and meeting new people,it was so much fun. Right when I wasn’t looking, that’s when Jason came along.
Old couples are the sweetest thing ever. It takes everything I have not to say “Awwwwwww” when I see them hold hands 😀
And don’t worry about getting married (or the fact that everyone else IS) It will happen for you, I promise. I don’t necessarily believe that there is ONE person for everybody, but I think you can learn something from all of your relationships and grow from that.
Okay, I’ve written a book! Stopping….NOW 😉
Book comments are my favorites! Maybe that’s because I am long-winded too, so it’s nice to be the one listening for a change!
for me, my thoughts on marriage changed as i got older. in my early 20s i was terrified of it, seemed too big of a commitment. my ex and i got together when i was 21 and both agreed- no marriage. but as we got older, we started to soften towards the idea and got engaged when i was 26, him 29. then we broke the engagement, split up, got back together for another 2.5 yrs and split up again for good over 3 yrs ago. i was pretty beat up emotionally… but then i met an absolutely spectacular man and we are getting married this oct. i think i am just a late bloomer (i’ll be 34 when we marry, first one for us both) and just wasn’t ready the first time around (nor was ex). now i just get the most secure, warm feeling thinking about marrying this man and it makes me really happy.
i agree with PP about the right being denied to our gay friends – it’s super unfair. but for me, i think the better way to fight it is legislatively and not with a boycott. sure, it’s just a piece of paper… but, for better or worse, it is the way our society has collectively agreed to acknowledge a strong bond btw two people and i like proclaiming to the world that we are a team, no matter what. the insitution of marriage has evolved over the years (yay to women being more than property these days!) and will def continue to do so as we mold it to fit our needs. i think it is only a matter of time until gays and lesbians gain the right, and i’ll be right there celebrating with them when it happens!
Congrats, Chris!
(And I’ll be celebrating too. I KNOW that day is inevitable. It’s just a question of when!)
As one who is married, I am absolute lover and fan of it. Being married, although requires work, is the most fulfilling, satisfying, joy-giving thing I’ve ever experienced, besides my relationship with God.
Your pizzert looks yummy! I’ve yet to give them a try…I’ve been too stuck on the single lady cupcakes : ) But, I will get around to the pizzert SOON.
GREAT combo! I will try this asap, it’s been too long since pizzert 😀
