Pumpkin Scones
There is nothing that makes me happier than... FALL BAKING. I just can't get enough of all things cinnamon and pumpkin right now. I just went to Costco and bought the largest container of cinnamon I have ever seen. I have no idea how I'm going to go through it all, but I am definitely going to try. You see..where there's pumpkin...there's cinnamon. But there can be cinnamon without pumpkin. Ya feel me? So...Pumpkin Scones! I know, right? I eat more breakfast pastries in the Fall than I … [Read more...]
Brown Sugar Raisin Muffins with Pumpkin Granola Crumble
How are your mornings? Do you gradually wake up to the chirping birds, slowly walk down your stairs and make a hot cup of coffee, then curl up on your cozy couch and watch the news for an hour, then decide to make yourself a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes? I totally do this every morning...I'm so lucky. I'm totally kidding...totally kidding. Some day my friends...some day. Since I had Miss Raya, I usually get up whenever she does! I also go to bed … [Read more...]
Cheesy Cornbread Muffins
I love these little bundles of sweet cheesy deliciousness. The weather is cooling down so Fall food is totally on my mind even though I wish it would stay Summer for just a wee bit longer. Cornbread is just so darn good that I had to develop a recipe to make over the upcoming cooler seasons to go with soups and chili. And to eat for breakfast... What I love most about this recipe is that it starts with boxed cornbread mix which makes it super easy. I simply added a few … [Read more...]
Vanilla Scones
Vanilla Scones are light, fluffy and melt in your mouth. Pure vanilla bean paste takes these vanilla scones to the next level. If you're a scone lover like me, you have to make these! They are delicious! I could eat breakfast treats every morning. Are you a sweet or savory breakfast person? Or both? I would say I'm both. As a kiddo I was definitely sweet, but I think most kids go for the sweet stuff like french toast (was my favorite!) instead of the veggie omelet (which is now my … [Read more...]
Blueberry Coconut Muffins
These muffins... These Blueberry Coconut Muffins... Are seriously one of my favorite recipes yet. Not even kidding here. I've been purchasing big plump blueberries the last few weeks for my oatmeal in the morning. I'm really into berries right now - strawberries too. Love snacking on them. They're deep red and super sweet right now. Are they even in season? Wherever they're coming from, they're awesome right now. So I want berry everything for some reason. Maybe because I can't … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins with Walnuts
Muffin mouthful. Am I right? Peanut Butter, AND Chocolate, AND Banana, WITH Walnuts, in ONE muffin. It's a beautiful thing my friends. I need to make more muffins, like right this minute. They're little bundles of morning love that go well with my coffee. Mornings are tough to begin with even when you're a morning person, and muffins...they make mornings so much better. So why all the ingredients and flavors? Well, because I had some ripe bananas and I just recently slathered peanut … [Read more...]
Blueberry Almond Scones and Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Mother's day is just around the corner (eeek!!!!) What are your plans? I am heading back to Iowa for one of my bestie's bridal showers and hanging with my parents on Sunday. I asked my Ma (yeah I call her Ma) what she wanted to do and she said "I just want to drink coffee on the porch and have brunch at home." Doesn't that sound just delightful? I am so looking forward to it. I love drinking coffee, I love porches, I love brunch, and I really love hanging with my Ma. These Blueberry … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Muffins
Here we go. Do I need to explain why I made these? I don't think so. Fall is my FAVORITE season and I hope it lasts forever. I love fall food, I love fall desserts, I love fall clothes, I love Fall TV (Walking Dead anyone?) Weirdest show ever but it's so good. I love I love I LOVE! Pumpkin is such a classic flavor for baking but for some reason it tastes much better when consumed from about September - December (at least here in the Midwest). Pumpkin Muffins are the perfect … [Read more...]
Whole Wheat Banana Oatmeal Muffins
I know another banana recipe. I made these because I had 4 very ripe bananas on my counter and I didn't want to throw them away. In an effort to not make banana bars again (which was really difficult by the way), I decided to try and bake something that had some sort of nutritional value which is where the whole wheat flour comes in. This was my first time baking with whole wheat flour. I will be baking with whole wheat flour more often now...I LOVED it. I originally was not going … [Read more...]
Crumb Cake Muffins
Let's talk about this crumb topping. A mixture of rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter - that's it! It is an incredibly easy way to give your muffins, breads, dessert bars, that extra something sweet and crunchy. The crumb topping is definitely what makes this muffin absolutely wonderful. Feel free to double the recipe like I did...you can never have too much crumb topping...load it up! I made these for a morning work meeting and they were perfect with a cup of coffee. … [Read more...]
