Peanutbutter and Chocolate Biscotti

By melanie

What to do with all those bananas that are becoming to ripe to eat?  In my mind, the obvious, and often first option, that pops into my head is banana bread.  But, this time I wanted to bake something else and was in the mood for something sweet but not too sweet.  I found a recipe for some chocolate and banana biscotti -yum!  The biscotti turned out to have just enough sweetness when paired with your coffee, or tea.  Delicious.  I hope you enjoy this little treat.

Cranberry & Orange Muffins

By melanie

I find cranberry and orange muffins a bit difficult to master, as the cranberry is very bold and has great potential to hide any of the orange flavors.  However, with this recipe you could taste the orange flavor just as much as the cranberry.  There was a very nice balance.  These muffins are perfectly moist and great for breakfast or lunches.  Enjoy!

Cloud Topped Pumpkin Loaf

By melanie

We spent some time scouring through tastespotting a few weeks ago and compiled a list of recipes we wanted to try.  This is the second in our list, and as a pumpkin dessert fan, this was a rather new and unique twist on what people usually simply toss into a pie.  The cream cheese cloud topping added a freshness to the entire loaf.

Be sure to enjoy it with a nice warm cup of tea!

Vegan Apple Toasty

So, I’ve been on this vegan kick lately.   (Really, since I bought the Babycakes cookbook.) When I’m baking now, my thinking process goes sometime like this: if the baked goods are vegan, I can eat more of it and not feel guilty.  And, I like that.   Just because I’m saying that I eat more of vegan baked goods, I don’t want you to conger up this image of me eating the entire loaf within two days.  I live with my partner, which means I have to share my baked goods.  Right away, I only get to eat half of the loaf and it lasts for a week.  In all seriousness, this apple toasty loaf is a delicious breakfast idea.  Enjoy!!

Not going to lie, we’re probably the worst banana bread bakers in the world.  I’ve tried countless recipes over the past years, heck, I think there’s like already 4 banana bread recipes on this blog! Well, I can finally say that I have found the perfect recipe for banana bread.  We’ve never had any bread come out this moist and still retain its shape!  Don’t let the fact it’s Vegan turn you off, it’s so delicious you’ll quickly forget all about that.

Read on for the recipe!

When you think of Banana Bread, you automatically assume that this is one of the simplest baking recipes a baker could tackle, right?   Sadly, I must admit that many, and I mean many, of my Banana Bread attempts have been a disaster – until today.  I was skimming through the Tastespotting website and found a collection of banana bread recipes.  I thought that it was about time I master the art of baking Banana Bread.  Let me tell you that today, I was a success story.   I had redeemed myself as a baker because my Banana Bread turned out wonderfully moist and delicious!  Read on for the wonderful recipe.
