Banana oatmeal muffins are my go to muffin. I always have the ingredients on hand and it’s so easy to whip up a batch. My basic recipe is very forgiving. I can change it up in any number of ways and the muffins still come out delicious. This time I’ve made them healthier and added a bit of spice. Now I don’t feel so guilty when I reach for one to help me get through those last two hours of the workday!
We finally put up our Christmas lights, 6 days before Christmas! We went out to the street after dark to check them out, and realized that everyone else on our block had lights up. It sure is colorful out there! With all that Christmas spirit outside, it’s time to break out the cranberries. Christmas snuck up on me this year. I didn’t even notice the fresh cranberries at Trader Joe’s until yesterday.
I bake muffins every weekend. Then I stash them in the freezer and eat one each day at work. This challenges me to make healthy ingredient substitutions, and also to keep trying new flavors!
Autumn is my favorite season for baking. The weather is just starting to get cool enough to turn on the oven more frequently. The apple orchards in Oak Glen have fresh apple cider and a large variety of apples to choose from. Pumpkin patches have cropped up all over the area. Apples and pumpkin are two of my most favorite ingredients. A few weeks ago, on my Saturday stroll down the baking aisle at Trader Joe’s, I was ecstatic to see that they had finally made room on their shelves for cans of organic pumpkin. Just in case this pumpkin shortage that I’ve heard about is for real, I bought a few cans. |
