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
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
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....
Apple-Almond Streusel Muffins
Have I ever told you about my mom’s apple pie? It’s killer. She always makes it deep-dish style (like Chicago pizza). Sometimes she’ll make it with a double crust and sometimes she’ll make it with what she calls a “French crumble topping”, and her thick apple layer is perfectly spiced and sweetened. It is hands-down the best apple pie. In the world. (Tall claim, but I’m sticking to it…but I won’t argue if you tell me the same about your mom’s pie.)...
Blueberry, Buckwheat + Chia Seed Muffins {Gluten-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}
I get a lot of emails from people telling me they want to start their day off with a healthy breakfast, but they don’t have time for the usual healthy go-to breakfast-y things like eggs or hot cereal. Or even smoothies. (As a side note, I am a firm believer that making a smoothie shouldn’t take longer than five minutes! That is less time than it takes to sit down and eat a bowl of cold cereal; not that cold cereal can’t be healthy, unless it’s the sugar-laden junk, but eating a bowl of cereal still takes longer than a smoothie, since a smoothie can […]...
Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
There was this cute little café that I used to frequent with a friend for lunch. It was just this hole-in-the-wall from the outside, but it was decorated in a charming, eclectic way inside. The food was quirky and full of charm too....
Sicilian Sunrise Cakes
If you’re a coffee drinker, I think you’ll swoon over one of these cakes with your coffee. (But yes, they are wonderful paired with a cup of tea as well!) These golden sunshine-colored beauties get their lovely rich yellow color from cornmeal and pistachio or olive oil. They have a soft crumb that’s subtly sweet, tender, and moist, and are faintly scented of sweet citrus and vanilla....
Biscoff Muffins with Coffee Cake Crumble Topping
I made these muffins a long time ago. So long ago that I almost forgot what they taste like. So long ago that it was before I cut myself off from biscoff spread, realizing it was just a little too dangerous to keep in my pantry....
Pistachio-Chai Muffins
A couple weeks ago I happened to briefly mention to my mom that I had never seen The Sound of Music. (How does this come up randomly in conversation?, you ask. Well, as it were, we were driving through the countryside with my niece and I happened to nonchalantly say Look, there’s a deer – a doe! And then my nine-year-old niece broke into that song that even I’m familiar with, although I’ve never seen the musical.)...
Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey Muffins
Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey Muffins made with a combination of whole wheat and buckwheat flour, bananas, peanut butter, yogurt, and honey are a healthy breakfast or snack! It’s back-to-school time, and even though Mike and I don’t have kids, I’m always trying to come up with new back-to-school snack ideas for my niece. She spends the night at our place every Friday for our “sleepover night” and I like to make sure I have healthy treats on hand....
