Gingerbread Muffins
I had no idea how many people I know like gingerbread! Someone asked me what I had baked recently and I said, “Oh, I just made some gingerbread muffins.” And then, to my surprise, they told me how much they loved gingerbread! Others told me, “I love anything with a gingery flavor—gingerbread is the best”…

Breakfast Sausage Savory Bread Pudding
I’ve had this recipe for a loooong time—someone I used to work with gave it to me. It started out as a very bready breakfast casserole, but I made some small changes to it over time and I like it even more now.

Orange-Almond Muffins
Summer is the perfect time for making citrus-flavored muffins, like these Orange-Almond Muffins! They have a great orange flavor, and sliced almonds give them a light, nutty taste. They’re good without any toppings, but if you’re making these muffins for a brunch or tea, you may want to fancy them up a bit with the Simple…

Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins
I’m looking forward to blueberry season when I can pick my own berries! Until then, I have to settle for buying them at the store. I prefer using fresh blueberries when I bake, but the two markets I went to were totally out of them! So I had to use frozen, but this muffin recipe…

Cranberry Banana Bran Bread
After making some Apple-Bran Muffins, I wanted to use some All-Bran® cereal in a quick bread recipe to see how that would turn out. I happened to have some very ripe bananas, too, so this Cranberry Banana Bran Bread was what I ended up making! It’s a good, hearty quick bread that is moist, thanks…

It has some healthy ingredients like chia seeds, chopped nuts, honey, and dried cranberries (or cherries).

Cheesy Cornbread Muffins with Bacon
Cornbread muffins are so good with chili and soup in the cooler weather months. But when you add crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onion, it really takes them to the next level!
