Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling

December 23, 2020 by Faith 6 Comments

This recipe for Eggnog Muffins with Cranberry Filling features soft, fluffy eggnog-flavored muffins with a sweet/tart cranberry sauce filling. They’re a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth when you’re in the mood for something festive!

Mike sometimes talks about taking a Christmas vacation to somewhere warm, but I have trouble getting behind that idea. I need cold, preferably snowy weather to feel festive.

Growing up in Buffalo, our Christmases were usually white. Not that it was ever a sure thing (because some years we did end up with a mucky brown Christmas!). But it was definitely more likely to be white there than it is here in the DC area.…

Cornbread Muffins Recipe

December 11, 2020 by Faith 38 Comments

This easy homemade Cornbread Muffins Recipe combines moist, tender muffins with flavorful cornbread. They’re perfect with any meal or as a snack! I finished all my holiday baking this past weekend – yippeeee! I really enjoy baking (not quite as much as I love cooking, but still, one of my favorite things). But even so, holiday baking can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming at best, and like a nightmare gone wrong – disaster-stricken kitchen included – at worst....

Classic Blueberry Muffins Recipe

July 13, 2020 by Faith 10 Comments

This Classic Blueberry Muffins Recipe whips up in 30 minutes and yields soft, tender muffins that are studded with sweet blueberries and faintly scented with lemon for a crowd-pleasing breakfast or snack. It’s funny the things we miss when we’re away from home. When Mike and I were in Kuwait, I was surprised by which sights and smells triggered a memory....

Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

May 4, 2020 by Faith 27 Comments

This Oatmeal Muffins Recipe combines heart-healthy ingredients like oats and olive oil into muffins that are just sweet enough, aromatic with vanilla, and have a tender crumb. I make a ridiculous amount of muffins. Muffins are the perfect thing to whip up when you want to use up a little bit of coconut milk. Or the last 1/4 cup of a few different kinds of nuts or dried fruit. Or if you have an apple or banana that is past its prime, and isn’t good for much else except baking....

Mango Muffins Recipe

March 20, 2020 by Faith 30 Comments

As a play on the flavors in an Indian Mango Lassi drink, this Mango Muffins Recipe has deep mango flavor with a hint of vanilla and cardamom and a soft, tender crumb. One day a while ago, Mike came home with a box of mangoes. He was so excited because he found them up at a local Indian market for me because I had asked him for Indian (Alphonso) mangoes. I asked him where the mangoes were from and he proudly exclaimed “The Indian market!” I checked the produce stickers and had to laugh when I saw that they were from Mexico....

Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Sour Milk Muffins Recipe

January 16, 2015 by Faith 21 Comments

Sour milk is the secret ingredient in this Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Sour Milk Muffins Recipe that yields a light and tender-crumbed muffin! These are sweetly aromatic of cinnamon, studded with fresh apple, and absolutely delicious. When Mike and I lived in Buffalo, we had the best neighbor ever. (Her name was Bee. She really was the sweetest, most amazing lady; she’s the one I talked about when I mentioned our ant problem one summer.) Being a bit older, she was old-school in a lot of ways....

Savory Spiced Sour Cream Zucchini Muffins

July 18, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

Is your zucchini crop starting to come in yet? Because zucchini is so wonderfully predictable, we all know that if you’re a gardener, soon enough you’ll have it coming out your ears. You’ll be dropping of bags to friends, family, and neighbors....

Double Dark Chocolate Muffins with Almonds and White Chocolate Drizzle

June 20, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

A while ago, a friend and I were at Starbucks and she ordered a chocolate muffin. Now, I admit that I’ve sampled a lot of baked goods that Starbucks has to offer, but their chocolate muffins – never! I was intrigued and it looked good, but I resisted ordering it. But it got me thinking that I need to come up with a good recipe for homemade chocolate muffins…...

Gluten-Free Cranberry-Orange-Pecan Cornbread Muffins

December 23, 2013 by Faith 10 Comments

For me, this fall has been all about cranberries. And I’m completely shocked to say that even my seasonal favs like apple and pumpkin have taken the backseat to cranberry this fall. (How did that happen?!) I think I’m finally giving cranberry the spotlight it deserves. (And shame on me for not doing it sooner! But I did share some pretty fabulous Cranberry-Flax Cookies and some lovely Dark Chocolate-Coated Cranberry Cake Bites.)...

Gingerbread Muffins Recipe

December 11, 2013 by Faith 14 Comments

Subtly sweet, generously spiced and aromatic, this Gingerbread Muffins Recipe is an easy way to get in a festive mood! The other day in conversation someone happened to mention gingerbread. I don’t remember how it came up, and it was just mentioned in a fleetingly brief moment. I’m sure no one else gave it another thought, but, me being me, suddenly I couldn’t get it out of my head....
