As the temperatures plummet into the teens around here, I found myself longing for a warm loaf of banana bread. I already have a recipe that I love, but part of the fun of being in the kitchen is experimenting, so I went in search of something new. I found this recipe and was encouraged by its…
Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Peanut Butter Mini Muffins + Giveaway
Though we don’t restrict gluten or flour in our household, I think it’s fun to try new baking tricks. These pumpkin spice peanut butter mini muffins impressed both of us. During my research of using egg and pumpkin with baking powder to create the structure of the muffin I admit to being skeptical of the outcome,…
Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Bread with Warm Ganache
It’s holiday time, and that means time to bake! This time ’round, we’re focusing on a quintessential Christmas candy that there is no shortage of this time of year – the candy cane! Somehow I end up with at least a couple of boxes of candy canes sitting around my house and while my husband and I…

They can be healthy – naturally sweetened and made with whole grains – or they can be naughty – full of chocolate chips and peanut butter. It’s one of those sneaky little breakfast items that allows you to get away…
