Bourbon Banana Bread

I have been putting off posting this recipe, because when banana bread became such a phenomenon last year, I figured the last thing we all needed was another post centered around the treat. Besides which, I spent the earlier days of quarantine tackling Serious Baking Projects, such as yeasted cakes, […]

 

Apple Cider Muffins

Is there anyone who doesn’t like apple cider doughnuts? They are such a cozy food, immediately drawing to mind images of apple orchards and pumpkin patches, soft flannel and rust-turning leaves. When we were young, my mom would get them from Delicious Orchards, a requisite grocery item whenever she chose […]

 

German Apple Pancake

APFELPFANNKUCHEN. It’s so fun to say! Try it with me now. APFEL PFANN KUCHEN. See?? If you’ve never had one of these, it’s like a Dutch baby, just full of apples, so it gets puffy on the edges instead of all over. Now, unlike with last week’s pasta, I do […]

 

Olive Oil & Maple Granola

First, a disclaimer. This is not my recipe. At all. It is very much just the “Nekisia Davis’ Olive Oil & Maple Granola” that reigns supremely popular on the internet. I first discovered it in Samin Nosrat’s “Salt Fat Acid Heat” (because it’s so good she included this recipe in […]

 

Breakfast Tacos

Yes, that’s right. Despite the impression I may have given here up to this point, I do not always eat baked goods for breakfast. In fact, I usually just have scrambled eggs and toast. Which works fine if you’re only eating breakfast at home once or twice a week. But […]

 

Strawberry Maple Poppyseed Muffins

One last summer muffin for you all while the berries are having their last hurrah. I was inspired by strawberry pancakes, something we usually enjoy in Vermont right around this time (insert crying emojis here). This is a better-for-you muffin, made with whole grain flour and sweetened with maple syrup. […]

 

Peach Ginger Streusel Muffins

Have I mentioned how much I love summer fruit? Like, maybe the last time we made muffins together? David was so excited to see peaches in our fruit bowl this week, and then so disappointed when I told him they were for baking. But then…he got to have muffins. Also, […]

 

Peanut Butter & Banana Pancakes

Happy Father’s day all! Would you like some pancakes to celebrate? While my mom was indisputably the chef of the family when we were kids, my dad was often in charge of weekend breakfasts. Pancake days were the best-he would pour the batter out in the shape of our initials, […]

 

Raspberry Lemon Ricotta Muffins

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, which we almost forgot since all days are the same now. The unofficial kickoff of summer weather, outdoor activities, and a fruit selection consisting of more than just apples. Hurrah! Of course we won’t be going to the beach to celebrate this year, or any family […]
