Blueberry Lemon Glazed Muffins

After an everlasting Winter with some of the tallest snow banks we’ve seen- we’re pretty ready to welcome Spring. Cue in these bright and sunny muffins that have ample potential to make any day exponentially better and bring joy to those who sink their teeth into them. They’re a fun weekend bake; they come together effortlessly.. and are bursting with fruity lemon feels at the seams. Let me put you onto something that will be a timeless baking hack: lemon sugar! It makes for the most aromatic muffins and infuses just the right amount of lemon or citrus zest. You will love the pillow-like texture- these are fluffy and light and full of flavor.

Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Bread!

Where you even in quarantine if you didn’t bake banana bread? That, my friends, is the obvious question. All jokes aside, banana bread took over the food space like no other recipe coulda, shoulda, woulda. It was virtually everywhere, and I am not mad about it… It’s ubiquitous for multiple reasons: easy pantry staples, everyone’s got spotty bananas they want to save from perdition, and you don’t need to be a seasoned baker to get this one right. ALL you need is basic ingredients; a bowl or two, an oven, and the coffee or tea to go along with it. p.s. this one is a little EXTRA. It involves good old peanut butter- which is perhaps the best sidekick banana bread could ever find! You will love.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Energy Bites!

I wanted to try some bliss balls with benefits; and these cookie dough energy bites are just that. They have the goodness of old-fashioned rolled oats, ground flax seed meal, dairy-free dark chocolate chips, creamy (all-natural) peanut butter and a tiny dash of raw agave and coconut or MCT oil for some healthy fat action. Oh and they DO taste like raw peanut butter cookie dough. Win-win? 😉

No-Bake Blueberry Bliss Balls

So… I was once addicted to blueberry anything-preferably muffins, bagels and donuts. Also, preferably with coffee. And from time to time, I miss them badly and crave something sweet- sans the white flour, white sugar, canola oil and nasty additives. Cue in these blueberry bliss balls that as opposed to tasting raw, they actually taste…… Continue reading No-Bake Blueberry Bliss Balls
