The Most Incredible Banana Bread Muffins Ever!
One of the very first recipes I ever learned to make was banana bread. My mom used to buy bananas and set them on the counter, but my siblings and I would turn our noses up if there were ANY brown spots at all on the bananas, so inevitably we had the perfect bananas for banana bread every week! Which was totally fine with me since I LOVE banana bread! Then, I had kids, and my banana bread recipe had to be transformed. My kids prefer muffins to slices of crumbly bread, and quite honestly, I prefer them eating muffins too so there aren’t tiny crumbs all over the house!…

I learned about celebrating Passover in college (eons ago!), and this recipe for Matzah Crack has stuck with our family through the years.

The magical part of this dessert…

Imagine my surprise when I cracked open my trusty old BHG Cookbook to make a pumpkin spice loaf and found out it is probably the EXACT SAME RECIPE that Starbucks uses! It tastes literally the same, but I’ve made it a lot better for your digestive system by switching out the regular flour with Einkorn flour and upping the spice content. I feel like my reliable BHG is a bit…
