Cocoa Butterscotch Banana Muffins

March 27, 2015 by Chantal Leave a Comment

Cocoa Butterscotch Banana Muffins

A never-ending stream of overripe bananas that make their way to my freezer each week, from leftovers of the large claw of yellow green fruit I buy regularly that doesn’t make it to our lunch boxes.   I love bananas, and I always have some on my kitchen counter, but I always overbuy them, so […]

Butter Tart Muffins

  Since I make muffins on a regular basis, I’m usually on the lookout for a good muffin recipe.  I’ve got tons of baking books, so I know I’ve got many muffin recipes, but sometimes I don’t feel like looking through all of my books to find a new recipe for my weekend breakfast staple. […]

Mocha Espresso Biscotti

Mocha Espresso Biscotti

Following the success of my Star Anise Biscotti, I was asked to make another batch of these crunchy cookies by one of Meat and Tater Man’s co-workers at the construction site.  The request was punctuated with a desire for “something similar with chocolate”, which I thought was a great idea.  I came across this recipe […]
