Pumpkin Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

I feel as though it’s been a while! I’ve been keeping a pretty good pace of blog posts recently, but the quantity of baked goods was getting to be too much. The kitchen was filled with Tupperware, so I had to take a break and let the existing baked goods dwindle. But now we’re back…

Homemade English Muffins

There’s lots of markers of the start of the best part of the year… AKA October through December, when the temperatures start cooling and the holidays start rolling in. But one of my favorites is the return of the Great British Bake Off! It comes out continuously weekly the best time of the year, and…

Rye Banana Bread (with Chocolate Chips)

I recently made some Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies, and they were pretty delicious (more on that in that post, obviously). And now, I’ll be using the rest of the rye flour. Starting with this Rye Banana Bread. There is really nothing better than a solid banana bread, in my opinion. My family banana bread recipe…

Peach Cobbler Scones

I like to think I’ve gotten pretty decent at baking over the years. Which means that true failures don’t happen too often any more.

Cornflake Chocolate Chip Scones with Coffee Glaze

But there’s also drop scones (like these or these), or a more shaped/cut triangle scone, like the ones I’m writing…

GF Banana Blueberry Muffins

These Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Muffins with coffee cake topping are a perfect brunch crowd pleaser. There’s something for everyone – a banana bread base, blueberries for people who like fruit, and the coffee cake crumble topping for those who want something a bit sweeter. I suppose they don’t appease the crowd who like double…

Almond Croissant Banana Bread

This Almond Croissant Banana Bread, much like these almond croissant cookies, was once again the product of me being easily influenced. As in… I saw someone post about it on the internet and decided to pull together a recipe. I went with a brown butter banana bread and used the same filling as the cookies,…

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

These Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are, unfortunately, evidence of how easily influenced I am. I saw a video of someone on the internet showing off their breakfast of a muffin with peanut butter yogurt, and I decided I needed to make some muffins. Theirs looked better than mine (influencers always so that), but mine are…
