A blog full of sweets and treats that are delicious, fun and simple to create.
I make a lot of muffins. No, really, a LOT. They are a staple in our home for breakfast and snacks and are hands down my favorite way to pack some whole grains, fruits, veggies and even protein into the morning, while pleasing some incredibly picky eaters. While my daughter could probably eat the same muffin for months at a time, I get bored making the same muffin over and over. This weekend I decided to take the same ingredients {Read More}
I always like to do something fun for birthday breakfasts. And since we pretty much see cinnamon rolls as the greatest breakfast food ever, I usually end up with some sort of celebratory cinnamon rolls. For my little one’s birthday this weekend, I decided to kick up my typical ‘sprinkles on the top’ thing and go all out. Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls! Yeah, that’s totally not a bad way to start the day. Add some cute little flags or candles, and {Read More}
Any time I can bring the flavors of a cookie, to a muffin, I pretty much consider that winning. Especially if I can do it with whole wheat and a little kick of protein from Greek yogurt. These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Muffins are basically awesome. And who doesn’t want awesome for breakfast??? After recently discovering The Sneaky Chef’s No-Nut Butter, my daughter has been asking me to create a variety of muffins using it (muffins are her {Read More}
Clearly, given all of the muffin recipes I’ve shared on here, we love muffins. Such a great breakfast or snack, they freeze incredibly well and I’ve found them so easy to make over from the calorie and oil laden ones at the bakery into something that packs a nutritional punch, while keeping them completely delicious and acceptable to picky eaters. Today’s recipe certainly fits that bill. Chocolate & Peanut Butter (or No-Nut Butter if you have a nut allergy in {Read More}
Wow, do I have tasty muffin recipe for you today. Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins – made safe for those with nut allergies thanks to The Sneaky Chef’s No-Nut Butter, a fabulous peanut butter alternative. If you are fine with nuts, this recipe can be made with regular peanut butter, but I am so excited to a great option for those with nut allergies (like my kiddo). These muffins are SO good. Seriously, make them, be it with peanut {Read More}
So I didn’t plan on making whole wheat cinnamon rolls. Really. I really just planned to make some regular cinnamon rolls for a friend for her birthday. But as soon as I put my little one down for her nap I realized I was severely lacking in all purpose flour (yeah, that’s kind of a baking blogger sin). So, with a brand new bag of my much loved white whole wheat flour in the pantry I said what the heck, {Read More}
I stand by my theory that muffins are the ultimate for quick weekday breakfasts. Especially when you manage to get a fruit, a veggie and whole wheat into those muffins. As I prefer my muffins to be, this recipe is simple and straight forward. Also, while I have used half pumpkin and half banana, you could easily only one or the other. You could also switch out walnuts for the pecans. This recipe makes 12 large muffins or you could {Read More}
With all the news of Hostess closing up shop, and everyone worrying about Twinkies, I have to admit, my concern was with those little bits of goodness known as Hostess Donettes. What the heck would I eat on road trip stops at 6am? Well thankfully we can make really yummy mini donuts at home, and my favorite way to do that is with the Babycakes Mini Donut Maker. I have shared on here before how much I enjoy my Babycakes {Read More}
Can I interest you in a cinnamon roll? How about a gingerbread cinnamon roll? This recipe is amusing to me because my husband actually had quite an opinion about it. In his mind gingerbread and cinnamon were not friends. Then we both started proving each other wrong by finding recipes and products that did or did not contain cinnamon. Apparently neither of us likes to be wrong. And I wonder why we have such stubborn kids. But we both love {Read More}

Delicious gourmet flavored coffee (hello, caramel drizzle???) without having to hit the {Read More}

Made with white whole wheat flour it provides whole grains, using a bit extra pumpkin and banana lets you cut way back on oil while providing Vitamin A and Potassium, and Diamond Walnuts provide protein, fiber and vitamins and minerals. Such a great way to {Read More}
I make a lot of muffins. I share a lot of muffins here on the blog. I have a lot of muffins in my freezer. They are one of my go to foods for my picky eaters for breakfast, and for years I’ve been playing with muffin recipes to create muffins that are yummy enough to be eaten without a second thought, but also have whole grains and at least half the fat of standard muffins knocked out of them. {Read More}
