Coconut Flour Chocolate Muffins

gluten free chocolate muffins

This weekend I bought a box of coconut flour.  I hadn’t a clue as to how I’d use it, but I liked the idea of a more healthful flour infused with the lovely scent of coconut.   Whole Foods had two brands, Bob’s Red Mill and Coconut Secret.  I went with the Coconut Secret because a) [...]

Toasted Pecan Date Bread

Toasted Pecan Date Bread

This isn’t much of a Father’s Day recipe. In fact, I made it for my mother. But oddly enough, Todd really liked it even though he’s not much of a quick bread person. Or a date person. Or a pecan person. Maybe he was just really hungry?  I don’t know, but it was a surprise [...]

Not-So-Squirrely Scones

Last night while re-reading Dreena Burton’s Vive le Vegan!, I came across a recipe called Squirrely Scones. I’ve passed it up dozens of times and don’t know why, considering the ingredients are things we keep around the house and that we love scones. So this morning, thinking I’d surprise Fuzz with some scones (she’s going [...]

It tasted great, and might taste even better to you if you make it in a free ProBake loaf pan courtesy of DuPont Teflon. Just leave a comment telling me your least favorite [...]

Chocolate Muffins with Coconut Oil

Chocolate Muffins with Coconut Oil

I was in the mood for brownies, but Fuzz wanted chocolate muffins. This was our compromise — very chocolaty muffins, sweet enough for dessert, but not so sweet they’d be confused with cupcakes and rich enough not to need icing. In other words, they’re true muffins and not cupcakes. Just for fun, I used coconut [...]

Half Dozen Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins

whole wheat blueberry muffins

Last week the people at Swerve sent over a lovely sample pack of their sweetener. I’m still testing it in different things and will give you the verdict soon, but along the way I discovered a really good muffin recipe and wanted to share it. I like this one because it calls for …

Bourbon Banana Bread

Bourbon Banana Bread

There’s no shame in having a little bourbon for breakfast, right? At least in this case, where it’s baked into banana bread. Then again, you may prefer this bread for a late afternoon snack with coffee or even dessert because it’s sweet, and you can really taste the bourbon. It’s so strong …

Mary’s Rye Quick Bread

Rye Quick Bread

This has been one of those crazy, insane weeks where I barely have time to brush my teeth let alone post a cookie. Given the circumstances, I reached out to my friend Mary at Chew The Fat (creator of awesome breakfast cereal personality tests) and asked if she’d like to share a recipe here on Cookie [...]
