There’s nothing better than waking up and smelling breakfast already waiting for you! Thanks to the invention of the crock pot, I woke up to a hearty, yummy breakfast this morning. I received the Cooking Light Slow Cooker cookbook for Christmas and decided I HAD to try the Maple-Hazelnut Oatmeal.

Homemade Soft Pretzels

If you do a search online for homemade soft pretzels you will likely find a large number of results. Reason being? Homemade soft pretzels are extremely easy to make! I was admittedly daunted for some time, but finally gave in and found that these were amazingly easy to mix together and the entire process was not very time consuming at all. By the second batch I had even gotten the hang of shaping the pretzels like a pro at Auntie Anne’s!
These are great fresh out of the oven dipped in mustard or melted cheese. If you make a double batch or don’t think you’ll eat these all within a day or so, throw the extras in a freezer bag and just pop one in the microwave when you’re ready for a snack.
