XL Banana Muffins

XL Banana Muffins

Extra large banana muffins full of mini chocolate chips – or not! A family recipe you won’t want to miss!

Do you ever have to super over ripe bananas sitting on your counter? Sometimes I do, but I mostly buy bananas, let them over ripen and shove them into the black hole which I call my freezer. I am not a fan of bananas, but throw them into a bread or muffin and I’m game. Otherwise? Not a chance.

The Best Fudge Brownies

The Best Fudge Brownies

Thick, chewy brownies loaded with plenty of chocolate-y goodness to get you through the day. 

How can you say no to these brownies? You can’t. That’s all there is to it. Now some of you may know that usualllly I’m not a chocolate person. How can it be so!? Well it’s just how its always been. For as long as I can remember I’ve always opted for vanilla over chocolate. Ice cream, milkshakes, cake, cookies. The whole sha-bang. But I can’t resist these. They are the best. And I don’t say that lightly.

These aren’t your usual dry and cakey brownies. They’re thick, chewy and fudgey. The best kind. They’re packed with real chocolate, and some cocoa powder – plus there are some extra chocolate chips in there for your real choc-a-holics. Leave em’ out if you want. But it’s worth it if they’re in there. Trust me.

Cinnamon Scones

Cinnamon Scones

Simple, tender homemade scones packed with sweet cinnamon chips, that taste just like a cinnamon roll!

Have you had a scone before? Was your experience good? I’ve had scones that are dry, and so stale, they really shouldn’t be classified as scones.  More like bricks. These are the best scones I think I’ve ever had. They’re much easier to make than you might think,

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Large bakery style muffins, dotted with plenty of mini chocolate chips. The best way to start your Monday!

Did you have a good weekend? I hope it was sunny where you live! Its been over-cast and grey here for the past few days. I mean its better than snow – sorry if you live on the east coast! But I can’t wait for sun and warm weather.

These muffins are amazing. Yep, I said it. They’re so good. Have you ever made a muffin recipe, but mixed it one too many times and ended up with a rock hard muffin? Yeah? Me too. Which sucks, because it’s just not the same as a soft, fluffy muffin. Anyways, what I’m trying to tell you is this recipe is a little more forgiving than most other muffin recipes.
