Breakfast – Blue Hill Co-op

Irish Soda Scones

Scones are traditional British baked goods that are popular in Ireland as well. There’s a lot of variation in scones between regions and families, but Irish scones are generally less sweet than British and a little flatter. This simple and tasty recipe makes scones with a flaky yet moist texture and mild flavor. We used dried cranberries for a slightly more New England touch, but you can use currants or raisins too. They’re best served with a nice pot of Irish breakfast tea and plenty of butter and jam.

Chai Tea Scones

These soft and satisfying scones, with a mild black tea flavor and delicious chai spices, are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or teatime.

Mememen Turkish Scrambled Eggs

Mememen is a popular dish from Turkey that pairs eggs with a rich sauce of tomatoes and peppers seasoned with black pepper and chili. Onions may or may not be part of the sauce. It’s usually served with crispy toast for breakfast but may be enjoyed at other meals. It’s similar to Egyptian shakshouka, but the eggs are scrambled rather than poached, which is much easier to do right. Mememen is filling and satisfying, with a mildly spicy and savory flavor.

Nigerian Buns

Nigerian buns are similar to doughnuts, though, unlike Nigerian Puff Puffs, they’re made without yeast. They have a crisp outside and a soft, pillowy inside. The flavor is mildly sweet, with a hint of nutmeg and lime zest. Nigerian Buns are a fun snack or breakfast and go great with coffee or tea.

Honey Glazed Greek Doughnuts (Loukoumades)

Loukoumades are delicious, soft and airy, fried confections with a sweet and sticky honey glaze. The recipe is easy and can be made with very little prep time, aside from waiting for the yeast to proof. These doughnuts go well with coffee, tea, or (if you’re feeling decadent) ice cream!

Bara Brith (Welsh Tea Loaf)

This traditional teatime bread is filled with dried fruits soaked in black tea overnight. It’s moist, sweet, and fruity. It’s perfect slathered in butter and paired with a strong cup of English breakfast. For this recipe, we used a mix of dried apricots, prunes, cranberries, and dates.

Welsh Cakes

Welsh cakes are a traditional treat similar to griddle scones. Cooked in a skillet on the stovetop, they have a crispy outside and a soft inside. In flavor and texture, they’re reminiscent of an old-fashioned doughnut, though not as greasy, as they aren’t fried. Welsh cakes are wonderful with black tea. You can also make them with dried currants.

Sunflower Breakfast Cookies

Who doesn’t love cookies for breakfast? These delicious morsels are packed with protein and leave off the gluten, butter, and processed sugar.

Sourdough Blueberry Bagels

Sourdough bagels are delicious, with a glossy outside and a soft but chewy inside. The bubbly pockets are perfect for catching melted butter or filling with cream cheese. These blueberry bagels are perfect for your Maine summer, with just enough berries to highlight the flavor and mild sweetness without overwhelming.

Blueberries and basil are a match made in heaven. Add chèvre cheese, and it’s even better! This simple country pastry has the perfect balance of savory and sweet. It works well for breakfast, dessert, or as an appetizer.

Strawberry Granola (No-Sugar-Added)

A bowl of granola is a great way to start the day. But often, prepared granolas have a lot of sugar, maple syrup, or agave in them. Granola can be out of reach if you’re living a sugar- free or reduced sugar life. This recipe uses monkfruit sweetener (zero-calorie and zero-glycemic). It’s made with a mix of oats, coconut chips, almonds, pecans, and dried strawberries, stuck together with sunflower butter and soaked flaxseeds. It’s also gluten-free and vegan! This granola goes really well with no-sugar-added yogurt and fresh fruit (or, if you’re feeling luxurious, Lily’s chocolate chips!).

Grain-Free Pistachio Muffins

This recipe is basically the same formula as our Grain-Free Carrot Cupcakes, but is a little less sweet and lacks the frosting, making it suitable for breakfast. The carrot lends moisture to the muffins, making the texture truly exceptional for a grain-free baked good.

Babka (Chocolate Swirl Bread)

This delicious braided bread is a traditional Jewish sweet from Eastern Europe. Originally, babka was made with cinnamon, sugar, and fruit jam rather than chocolate. But when the bread came to America, this newer version gained popularity. Babka is great for Hanukkah but also eaten during Christmas and Easter by some Eastern European Christians.
