Tis the season for sweet potatoes! And boy, do I love sweet potatoes! And fall, being the peak of their season, is the best time to whip something up with these healthy, orange beauties. I mean, what would Thanksgiving and Christmas be without this colorful potato?
Apple Spice Muffins
There’s something about a warm muffin with a pat of fresh butter and a cup of hot tea in the morning. It’s what greets me most mornings as I roll out of bed before the sun rises, searching for something to soothe my dry throat from the allergies that come along with Spring.
For our family, these muffins are the perfect breakfast and snack, and usually last all of 24 hours.
They have a slight spice from cinnamon and all spice and the familiar sweetness of gala apples. I love the chunks of apple bites that keep the muffins moist but add a crunch as well. My 1-year-old gobbles them up!
Peanut Butter Banana Marble Muffins
These Peanut Butter Banana Marble Muffins are the perfect way to have peanut butter cups for breakfast, and not feel (quite so) guilty about it!
There seems to be a theme around here when it comes to my posts.
A vast majority of the treats I share with you all feature the same five superstar ingredients: bananas, strawberries, peanut butter, chocolate, and hazelnut spread.
Am I ashamed of it? Never. You like what you like, right?
Maybe one of these days, I’ll break away and share something with crazy ingredients. Like beets. Or oysters. Or blue cheese.
(That last one is not likely, for the record.)
For now, how about we just dive right in and take a bite of these yummy Peanut Butter Banana Marble Muffins, my newest breakfast addiction! [Read more…]
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
I have always loved baking. I didn’t discover a love of cooking until after I got married three years ago, but baking, I’ve always loved. Granted, my definition of “baking” before was using boxed mix, I still always loved baked goods more than anything else. As I’ve grown in my cooking skills, my baking skills have grown too. I remember the first time I tried to make muffins. I used a complicated recipe that required lots of unnecessary steps and in the end my muffins didn’t turn out at all. Didn’t even make it to the oven. So now, even though I love baking, I still prefer easy recipes that truly anyone can bake from. Good food just simply doesn’t have to be complicated.
