Muffins! Unless they’re made of really healthy ingredients, they are pretty much the equivalent of dessert for breakfast. Which couldn’t be more wonderful in my world. It seems everyone leans toward one favorite or another – blueberry, banana, lemon, etc. For me, I will always choose a wonderful blueberry muffin above anything else, but chocolate [...]

Muffins are a dangerous thing in my kitchen. I don’t make them all too often because when I do, I can’t stop eating them. For breakfast, for snacks, pretty much any time I walk past the kitchen and spy the container. It may all go back to college when our dorm room was regularly adorned [...]

The cool-turned-warm spring air makes me want to bust out every citrus fruit I can get my hands on and start baking up a storm. The scent of lemons, oranges and limes make the whole world seem brighter. I love their light and fresh flavor and have a ball baking with them once the weather [...]

You may not believe what I’m about to tell you. I only half believe it myself. But I really think that I am sweet-ed out from the holidays. I don’t even think I ate all that much, but all of the baking, oiy. I kinda don’t even want to look at a cookie right now. [...]

Few things go together as well as pumpkin and cream cheese. Sure you have your peanut butter and jelly and peanut butter and chocolate (hmm, I’m not obsessed with peanut butter, am I?), but warm and spicy pumpkin baked goods paired with the sweet cream cheese is a match made in fall-baking heaven. Add to [...]

These healthy banana-nut muffins are the very first recipe that I can remember learning how to follow and bake. My mom began baking these when my dad found out he had high cholesterol, and soon they became a weekly ritual. I always wanted to help make them, and at first I was given the job [...]

Don’t worry, tomorrow is all geared up to be a sweet sensation (and perfect for summer), so stay tuned. Now, onto these muffins. [...]

A favorite cereal in a breakfast muffin? As Ina Garten might say, “How great is that?” Now you all know I don’t claim to be a health nut (in fact, far from it), but for some reason Raisin Bran has always been a favorite cereal of mine. Something about those slightly sweetened flakes and sugary [...]

It’s Friday and the weekend is here (cue the trumpets). With the hustle and bustle of typical weekday mornings, many people barely manage a bowl of Cheerios, let alone a homemade treat for breakfast. It seems that pancakes and sausage, fluffy waffles, and jumbo muffins are often reserved for weekend indulgences. Snuggled under your mountain [...]

These muffins reignited an as-yet unresolved internal debate I have about chocolate muffins. I mean, are they really muffins? I tend to believe they are more on the order of chocolate cupcakes sans the icing. I think perhaps the benefit of calling treats of this nature muffins is to ensure that they can be eaten [...]
