Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

September 24, 2015 ·

Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins are a simple cornbread made with pumpkin and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. {dairy free}

Football season is upon us…or so I’m told. I am not much of a football fan, but I am a football food fan! Chili, chips, dips, whatever is in the slow cooker and more…it’s all good. I usually make this Three Bean Vegetarian Chili – it is quick to make, hearty and delicious – so much so that even meat-eaters go back for seconds! So as I was planning the menu, I got to thinking where there is chili, there better be cornbread! Inspired by football season and all things fall, are these Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins….

Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

February 14, 2015 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins are a lighter buttermilk cornbread muffin made delicious with the additions of cheddar cheese and garlic.

When in doubt, add cheese. This so true when it comes to many recipes, like baked chicken, quinoa bites, even scrambled eggs. We always keep of plenty of cheese on hand. No matter the variety, cheese just makes everything extra delicious! So when my family was craving cornbread (Rosemary Cornbread to be specific) and our rosemary plant happens to be currently buried under snow outside on the deck,…it was time to come up with something new. After using the Rosemary Cornbread recipe as a starting point, and of course adding cheese and other tasty goodness, I present to you an easy recipe for Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins!…

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

September 17, 2014 ·

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins are a wholesome snack, or breakfast on-the-go, made delicious with raisins, oats, buttermilk and brown sugar.

The other day after school, while Greta was napping, Adam presented me with a cookbook. A cookbook that was all about muffins. That’s my kind of cookbook! He proceeded to point out several recipes that we should make…now! I was inspired by an Oatmeal Breakfast Muffin, but needed to switch up the ingredients to use up what we had on hand (no way am I waking the baby to go to the store!) After a quick peek in the pantry, I found oatmeal, brown sugar, buttermilk and California Raisins. Sounds like the makings of a tasty Oatmeal Raisin Muffin!…
