Banana cakes can come in many forms, from the humble banana bread reworked as a cake, to lovely cakes layered with cream and sliced banana. These little Banana Cakes are soft buttery banana sponge cake formed in mini bundt cake pans, and topped with an easy Vanilla Caramel glaze. Baby Banana Cakes, the Origin [...]
These Dark Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes have a texture more akin to a muffin, hence the title. They aren’t what I had originally had in mind. I was attempting to see if I could get a cake red enough naturally colored with cherry juice to pass as red velvet. It quickly became apparent, that was just [...]
This Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread is a gluten-free recipe, but is made entirely with common ingredients found in most kitchens. So many gluten-free dessert recipes have a daunting list of ingredients that are often expensive and difficult to find. With the holidays coming up, I thought an easy gluten-free dessert that used standard pantry items [...]

My latest creation is this Gluten Free Maple Coconut Veggie Muffins recipe. I used a combination of coconut flour, along with millet and corn flours that I ground in my Wondermill Grainmill. The muffins are also dairy free. One of the challenges of gluten-free baking (besides the obvious lack of gluten) is replicating the weight [...]
This Orange-Walnut Oatmeal Mini Muffin recipe is a marriage of the Orange Cake my grandmother had in her handwritten cookbook (with notes that it was my grandfather’s favorite), and an Oatmeal Muffin Recipe I found in a vintage McCall’s cookbook. The “zippy” flavor of the orange zest used in this recipe, along with the richness [...]
