Vegan Zucchini Muffins

The thing is, I feel like I styled these muffins like Christmas. And I made these because I was craving this cake and because I had half of a vegan apple loaf guy for breakfast and sometimes a girl just needs a muffin. And my favorite muffin liners are parchment squares, my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my least favorite holiday is Christmas, and I think I want to listen to this song on repeat,…

Berry Buckle Muffins

I just want to be like, “Hi there, I’m Berry Buckle, your local plumber/electrician/locksmith.” Because this name makes me think of a fix-it dude. And those are the kinds of things I think, you guys. Anywaaaaaaay, I whipped up these muffins for work because, you see, I work some some cool folks of the muffin-deserving type. I also happened to have spare berries AND I’m back in the game as far as having butter in…

Mandarin Mini Muffins

It’s 8:30pm and I feel like I could fall asleep right here in my living room with Beyonce playing and my pink, not-christmas, tree lit up. My apartment smells like maple syrup from some granola I made for work-time snacking. You see, I’m tired. I think it has to do a little bit with getting used to a new job, a little bit to do with the fact that I woke up early today for…

Insta-recipes #1

Ok! So, I thought it might be fun to revisit some things I’ve posted on Instagram to share the recipes with you guys. I really hope you don’t mind! P.S. I didn’t make those donut holes and macarons up there, but aren’t they good-lookin’! And yeah, I totally want to take a nap on a pile of them. My friend Dana came over for dinner a while back and it was just after I revisited…

Blueberry Yogurt Muffins

This weekend was a success! I hit up the bloody mary bar at Social Kitchen with Cindy and Nicole. I almost knocked over a giant jug of tomato juice, and then dropped my snack skewer on the ground (and still ate it). I don’t know what it is about going out in public that immediately turns me into Steve Urkel. This lady brunch adventure was just what I needed! You see, I’ve been needing some…

Banana Bread Beer Muffins

My mom brought me this tray at Christmas and I think it might be my new favorite. It looks like a dreamy Valentine! And it makes these muffins feel really good about themselves too. I can tell they’re super confident in their red outfits, with their powdered sugar sprinkles. And these are so much more than just a brown muffin. They’ve got style, they’ve got class, they’ve got beer. And they’re tasty! I put some…

Chocolate Chip Pancake Mini Muffins with a Brown Butter Maple Glaze

Because dessert needs to happen with a picnic lunch, and because I had a bunch of hay in my boots when I got home. You see, Friday, I took the day off and headed to Upland Hills Farms. My friend’s niece had a field trip, so a couple of us ladies went too! We made a giant Italian sandwich and a tasty orzo salad for our picnic lunch. And since this particular little girl loves…

Orange Poppy Seed Mini Muffins with Raspberry Pink Icing {revisited}

I hated summer camp. The first time I went it was the summer after 3rd grade. Picture it: scrawny redhead with long bangs and long hair, wearing a lot of neon… with a fanny pack on daily. And well, my fanny pack held my retainer-holders for when I had to take them out or whatever. I mean, once I left it at the baseball diamond and I might’ve ran as fast as I could to…

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

I can’t eat oatmeal on it’s own: in a bowl, topped with milk, at the table. I just can’t. But I promise that I will eat it in cookies, scones, and muffins. I will eat these guys standing in the kitchen, over my computer, with a fork (when they’re too hot), and in my backyard with the pup. Breakfast is my favorite. I wake up hungry. And so, on the weekend, I daydream about warm biscuits,…

Double Coconut Muffins with Mini Chips

Do you have your grocery list handy? Add flowers and chocolate, ok? And coconut oil, maybe. What I’m trying to say is, “treat yo ‘self”! You just really deserve it! I’m really excited that I finally have coconut oil in my pantry! Cindy uses it in her granola! Nicole stir-frys with it! I just needed to get with the program. Time to get coconutty with it. So, when I saw these muffin on Smitten Kitchen, I knew they’d be just the thing…
