Made with whole wheat flour, a touch of honey, light olive oil, toasted walnuts and two flavors of chips, they’re good for dessert, a snack or even breakfast.

Inspiration for yesterday’s scratch best yellow cupcake recipe was Mela, who emailed me saying she was having a hard time finding a good yellow cake. I told her about this one, and after trying the recipe she emailed to say she loved it. Plus, she shared her strawberry frosting recipe! For those of you interested [...]
