This is a sponsored post on behalf of Bob’s Red Mill. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that help make The Beach House Kitchen possible.

Hello there Monday morning! Back so soon? Why is it that weekends always go so fast? It feels like two minutes ago it was Friday and BAM it’s already Monday! Is it just me? Am I getting old, or do you feel the same way guys? Even if you don’t, please just say you do. It will make me feel better. And that’s what friends are for, right?! I think it may have something to do with winter too. Winter Mondays always seem a tad bit worse than summer Mondays, don’t ya think?

Miniature Linzer Torte

It’s okay though, because I found the perfect solution! During the winter season I like to enter into the new work week with something sweet to soften the blow. You need to follow my lead on this one folks! It works! So today, let’s start the new work week together with these amazing Miniature Linzer Tortes! Last week, I promised you more Valentine goodies and I never forget a promise!

Miniature Linzer Torte

Today, I’m super excited because I’ve partnered with Bob’s Red Mill to bring you these delicious Miniature Linzer Tortes. This recipe features their Almond Meal and their All-Purpose Flour. Their Almond Meal is ground from whole, blanched sweet almonds. By adding almond meal to your baked goods you are bringing all the health benefits of almonds to your diet. They are high in protein, low in carbs and a great source of Vitamin E. The almond meal helps provide a delicate, soft crumb with a sightly sweet, nutty flavor. It’s combined with flour, butter, sugar, egg yolks and cinnamon and then filled with thick raspberry jam. It’s finished off with a gorgeous lattice topping to make for a stunning dessert for your special Valentine!

    Weekends definitely fly by for me too, Mary Ann! And this past weekend it was beautiful here so it seemed to zip by faster than normal. Sad. So thank you for brightening my Monday with these Mini Linzer Tortes! So gorgeous! You know I love anything mini, especially a sweet delicious mini torte! Absolutely perfect for valentine’s day… if I don’t eat them all myself! Pinned! Cheers!

    I don’t know why but I’m actually in a really good mood this Monday! Probably because I really took care of myself on the weekend and didn’t do anything I didn’t want to do. I got to do that more often! And these linzer tortes are so perfect! They look so neat and cute I don’t know who you did it!

    Mmmm, these are delicious Mary Ann! You’ve reminded me that it’s been far too long since I last made a linzer torte! I love your addition of Almond Meal. I use Bob’s too. It is divine! And I love how simple these are to whip out… an unfussy pastry that has incredible flavor and that cinnamon? So good!

    RE: Mondays. I HEAR you! I don’t know where weekends go either. We really need a shift in the American work week from 5 days to 4. Really, for our health, sanity and family support. Two days is not enough. I think we could all do it, if we made it a national priority. Of course our spending habits would need to change, but again… what’s the priority? xo
