Almost every Saturday, my daughter has Chinese class and I make something for the moms. It gives me an opportunity to try something different (or not – the kids seem perfectly happy with banana mini-muffins). This week it was a recipe from Cooking Light with slight modifications. Ingredients 7 9/10 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 [...]

More healthy snacks

As Johnny’s Po’ Boys says, “Even my failures are edible.” I slightly over baked the large version of these muffins, but the mini version were great. My daughter managed to shove half of the muffin in her mouth at once. That’s the universal sign that they were good. I got this recipe suggestion from my [...]
Happy new year!

I’m starting off 2011 as a new mom – figuring out what to feed my 23 month old daughter as snacks. Trying to avoid the default cheerios and goldfish crackers every time. Although she loves fruits and vegetables, if I can squeeze more in – I will. I found a recipe that I altered (removing [...]
Lemon blueberry cupcakes or muffins with icing?
Posted in buttermilk, cupcake, muffins, tagged blueberry lemon cupcakes, blueberry lemon muffins on August 22, 2010 | 2 Comments »
These “cupcakes” had a texture more like a muffin. But when you slather it with cream cheese frosting and decorate it with a fresh blueberry – they can pass for a cupcake. And my guests didn’t seem to care what texture they were. They seemed pretty satisfied with how they tasted. Recipe | Yield: 1 [...]
Antioxidants are important

My husband Al loves blueberries. So I buy a lot, but sometimes I forget how much I’ve purchased. So when I realized I had 7 cups of fresh blueberries at home, I decided that some muffins were necessary. Al took them out with his friend, Capt. Bill for their Saturday morning fishing excursion. I slightly [...]
Warm cornbread with honey butter

We had a bunch of people over (dinner for 12) tonight and I served warm cornbread muffins along with some other Southern fare – Red Beans and Rice. It was interesting that I offered regular butter and honey butter. No one touched the regular butter. I was predicting the butter would be good, so I [...]
Does whole wheat flour make it a muffin?
Posted in muffins, vegan cupcake on February 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I wanted to make a banana muffin with some brown, practically black bananas. I knew that undoubtedly the banana cupcake recipe in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World would probably be delicious. The recipe already contains chocolate chips, which in my house is a necessary accompaniment to banana anything. If it’s not there, I get [...]
Healthier muffins with chocolate chips

This might not make sense, healthier muffins with chocolate chips. But I did try to lighten a recipe from Williams Sonoma Muffin cookbook to include no sugar, replace the a portion of all-purpose flour with whole wheat, substituted canola oil for the melted butter and used egg substitute instead of the eggs. Result, really yummy [...]
bait?

Too bad I can’t use my cranberry pumpkin muffins as bait. My husband is taking some when he goes fishing tomorrow. He leaves at 3 a.m. for San Diego. CRAZY FISHERMAN! I would love these puppies to reel in the customers to my garage sale tomorrow. But I’m not offering any up. Keeping my fingers [...]
