Blueberry Muffins made with Frozen Blueberries

January 16, 2014 by Cate 25 Comments

These blueberry muffins are so light thanks to Greek yogurt. Frozen blueberries work so well in muffins, and make these easy to whip up any time of year!

Good morning! Anyone in the mood for a muffin this morning? I don’t know about you, but I am in the mood for a muffin just about every morning. And while I would like chocolate chip or cookie butter to be a part of breakfast every day, my jeans disagree. So instead, let’s have blueberry muffins! I used frozen blueberries to make these because the fresh ones are looking pretty weak these days. But frozen blueberries are good year round, and they actually work better than fresh ones in some recipes. I like to use these frozen wild blueberries when I make muffins because they are smaller, but full of great flavor….

Happy new year! How are everyone’s new year’s resolutions going so far? I don’t know about you, but I took yesterday off from any kind of resolution. January 1 is a holiday, a day of rest – right? So the healthy eating starts today for me! I have a few healthy recipes to share with you over the next few days to start the year off right. The first is one of my favorites – kale salad…

No-Knead Cranberry Walnut Bread

October 18, 2013 by Cate 22 Comments

The first recipe that I posted on my blog was no-knead bread, and it is still one of my absolute favorite things to bake. I just love that with very little effort, I can have an amazing loaf of freshly baked bread any time that I want it! And there are so many different varieties, the possibilities are endless. I’ve shared bacon and carrot with you, and today I have a recipe for cranberry walnut bread. This might be my new favorite. The tart, sweet cranberries pair so nicely with the toasty walnuts. And it makes the best toast!!…

Peachberry Buckle (Peach Blueberry Coffee Cake)

August 13, 2013 by Cate 8 Comments

My absolute favorite fruit to eat in the summertime is a ripe peach (or nectarine – to me they are interchangeable!). They are so sweet and juicy – I just can’t get enough of them. And berries are a close second, so when I saw a recipe for a peachberry buckle on King Arthur Flour, I just knew I had to make it! They made up a word that fuses together my two favorite fruits, how could I not try it?! If you are wondering what the heck a buckle is, it is just a coffee cake made with fresh fruit. This version has a very light and fluffy cake layered with sweet peaches and berries and topped with a delicious cinnamon crumb topping. It is heavenly! The fruit keeps the cake moist and gives it an amazing flavor. You can use any kind of berry that you want. I used blueberries in mine and it turned out really well. The crumb topping has a splash of almond extract – you can omit this if you aren’t a fan of that flavor. This buckle / coffee cake is a perfect way to highlight summer’s delicious fruits! …

Raspberry preserves are swirled into a cream cheese muffin batter. These Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins are so tender and have an amazing flavor!

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week. TheBetterHalf and I were on vacation in Italy! If you follow me on Instagram, you can see some pictures from the trip. I can’t wait to share more details from the trip with you, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I have a delicious breakfast recipe for you – Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins. I had a block of cream cheese to use up before we left , so I decided to make this recipe from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook. The book calls them breakfast buns, but they are really more like a muffin so I changed the name! My mom bought this cookbook for me after our first trip to the bakery 8 years ago! …
