Healthier banana chocolate chip muffins are easy to make and great for grab-and-go breakfasts. No mixer needed to make this muffin recipe! L’s appetite hasn’t been that great over the last week (teething? cold? toddler-itis? who knows!). But you better believe when I gave him one of these banana chocolate chip muffins that within minutes…

Posted on September 28, 2015

A kid-friendly breakfast or snack, these healthy apple muffins are made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened! When I think back to the first month after L was born, it comes back as a haze.

My Favorite Pumpkin Bread

Posted on September 2, 2015

Moist and flavorful pumpkin bread. This classic recipe is perfect for pumpkin bread or pumpkin muffins.   *Sometimes things need a refresh. My favorite pumpkin bread was originally posted in 2010 with some painful-to-the-eyes photos. And while my photography skills have thankfully improved, the recipe, that I've loved ever since I was a kid, has not changed.…

The perfect summer brunch food.  These brown butter muffins are full of juicy peaches and topped with a cinnamon crumble.

Pistachio Muffins

Posted on December 16, 2013

Make these hearty pistachio muffins for a holiday brunch with friends! I made it through the weekend, and pretty much in one piece.

Cookie Butter Lava Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

Posted on October 19, 2012

Healthy banana muffins with a surprise cookie butter filling. I think I looked at about fifty different banana muffin and bread variations before finally deciding to make these muffins.  My objective was to make something healthy but special.  I didn’t want plain old banana bread and I sure didn’t want something that was boring and…

Dessert for Breakfast or Breakfast for Dessert

Posted on September 19, 2012

I might be an oatmeal girl most days of the week, but pancakes and other sweet treats will always have a special place in my heart.  Often, when we go on vacation, we will try to balance breakfast with an egg white omelet and a side of donuts, pancakes or waffles.  We all deserve to…

Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins

So despite some unnecessarily stressful back and forth that has been going on in my life, I’m still set to share my news with you on Thursday.  Part of me is SO excited, but the rest of me is still nervous/terrified/anxious.  I know some of you are eager to know what my news is, but…

Triple Chocolate Muffins with a Peanut Butter Swirl

Posted on January 3, 2012

Today was my first day back to real life. The early morning alarm, a half-awake trip to the gym, and then that rush to shower, eat breakfast, pack lunch and basically race against the clock to get to the office on time. I didn’t like it. Did I spend the last three weeks recovering from…
