A couple weeks ago my mom and sister came over for coffee one afternoon; snacks were a must and I was prepared with these muffins. As my mom reached for one, she asked what they were. Just give them a taste…you’ll like them, I coaxed. (I didn’t want to turn her off to them before she had even tasted them by saying they’re paleo…my mom is a healthy eater, but she’s very much a traditionalist. She hears paleo and thinks cardboard texture and flavor.)...
Honey-Nut Banana Muffins {Gluten-Free; Naturally Sweetened}
Ever notice subtle seasonal changes in your eating habits? I don’t just mean the gravitation towards soups in the winter and salads in the summer…these days it seems like I crave something warm and comforting all day long. Case in point, every day around 3 o’clock in the afternoon I like to make a cup of tea…it keeps me warm on these chilly January days. And of course a little treat along with tea never hurts, right?...
Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins
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. Of course, the first chance I got I was back in the kitchen experimenting with baking (muffins!), but this time for relaxation purposes, not holidays....
White Cheddar Muffins & A Giveaway {$50 VISA Giftcard!}
Where do you get your recipe inspiration? The other day I was at the grocery store. Nothing fancy (there still isn’t even Whole Foods or a Trader Joe’s in my area, if you can believe that!), just my regular grocery store (picking up the bread that I mentioned in this post, actually). When I saw them looking up at me....
Blueberry-Oat Breakfast Loaf
I love making quick bread or muffins on relaxed weekend mornings. There’s something almost magical about a late summer Saturday morning…waking up to the sound of birds chirping and sunlight streaming in your window…and of course knowing that you have the whole day free to do whatever you want! Those kinds of mornings call for a special start to the day....
Brown Sugar Peach Muffins
Before I made these muffins, I had in mind exactly what I wanted…a moist muffin with a soft crumb, slightly grainy cornmeal texture, vanilla-scented with a slightly caramel-y flavor, and pieces of fresh peach. Yes, that’s all, lol. (It’s a girl’s prerogative to want it all, right?)...
Toasted Coconut Muffins
Muffins are convenient to make for holidays because they’re portable, keep well, and can be eaten as breakfast, snacks, or dessert. These muffins have great coconut flavor – there’s toasted coconut on top, flaked coconut inside, and half of the flour I used in these muffins is coconut flour, which is high in fiber and protein. Surprisingly, the coconut flavor isn’t overwhelming at all; the coconut flour has a very subtle coconut flavor and the flaked coconut inside is mainly to keep the muffins moist, so the little bit of toasted coconut on top really ends up being the most pronounced coconut flavor. And what […]...
Black Forrest Bran Muffins
My favorite muffins are chocolate chip, and I especially love the chocolate chip muffins at Tim Horton’s. They’re moist, soft, and cakey with just the right amount of chocolate and a crunchy, sugar top. Sadly, my favorite Tim Horton’s chocolate chip muffins have a whopping 430 calories each, not to mention 40 grams of sugar and only 2 grams of fiber (you can get their full nutritional profile here). I can’t say that my Black Forest Bran Muffins are as cakey and delicious as the muffins at Tim Horton’s, but then again cake under the guise of a muffin probably shouldn’t be part of […]...
Carrot Cake Breakfast Muffins
If you’re looking for a healthy way to start your day (and the New Year!), these muffins are for you....
