These muffins are autumn in a little cake. I’ve been on a muffin kick lately. I’ll buy one or two from our local grocery store on the weekend as a treat. It’s not exactly the healthiest of habits to have, but it sure does make me happy to have a tasty muffin and coffee for breakfast. My husband says that muffins are not a breakfast food because they are cupcakes without icing. He’s not wrong, but I’m also perfectly fine with having cupcakes for breakfast. 🙂 I decided to bake some muffins instead of buying them and thought pumpkin ones …

I know what you’ll be making this weekend.  These muffins, hint, hint.  😉 I bet many of you have made banana muffins before.  Show of (virtual) hands?  I know I sure have made my fair share of muffins, especially of the banana variety.  A few years ago, I shared a banana muffin recipe where the muffins are loaded with pecans and a streusel topping.  Then there’s the small batch of banana muffins which is awesome if you have one rogue ripe banana that’s one step from the garbage.  Let’s not forgot our chocolate lovers, because my double chocolate banana muffin recipe is pretty much the best …

The age old question this time of the year, are you a pumpkin or apple food person? Pumpkin pie, apple cake, pumpkin cookies, apple pie… there are so many delicious goodies and so little time.  I love them all.  I will say that I’ve never found an apple muffin that rocked my world, but I do love pumpkin muffins.  I’ve made a variety of pumpkin muffins over the years but this is the first time I’ve made whole wheat pumpkin muffins.  I’ve never made whole wheat muffins of any flavor actually, so I thought I’d try something different. Whole wheat …

Are muffins for breakfast or dessert?  This has been an ongoing debate with my husband. I think muffins are intended to be for breakfast (but can really be eaten at any time of the day) and my husband says they are more of a dessert.  Muffins are like cupcakes without frosting so I see where he is coming from.  However if coffee shops entice you to buy them with your morning coffee then I stand by my theory. I made these chocolate chip muffins the other day and they have fewer calories than your average chocolate chip muffin.  I’m always …

What do you do when you have one overly ripe banana left and it’s gotten too gross looking to eat? You make a small batch of banana muffins!  A batch of four muffins is the perfect amount for me and my sister. If you’re like me then you already have all of the ingredients on hand, even that handy dandy last banana that’s been sitting on the counter begging to be used.  You don’t even have a lot of dirty dishes to wash when you’re done.  That may sound silly but sometimes I’ll skip a recipe if it looks like …
