The weekends are for muffins!   There was a period of time that we did over 20 different muffin recipes! I found that best base that made the perfect muffin and I just explored every flavor variety you could imagine lol.  Fast forward to today, I haven’t done a muffin recipe in ages. That being said, I wanted to revisit this comfort food staple. Muffins get a bad...

                              If you haven’t heard, I was once on a huge muffin kick! For years I never made them as I found the texture in vegan recipes just to be off. They were always too dense or didn’t cook all the way thru. A truly good muffin should be light, but not cake like, dense, but not a brick lol, and this recipe is just that!   Since finding...

                  If you know me, you know I love a fab muffin on a weekend. Even though I’ve whipped up upwards of 20 different muffin recipes, a new one always pops into my head. Lately I’ve been craving all things pistachio. I don’t know if it stems from my old affinity for ready made pistachio pudding lol (true story) or the fact that I love the color or almond extract..   ...

                        Hello & Happy Saturday!!             If there is one concept I became obsessed with the past 6 months, it’s a good vegan muffin!

                              This week was one for the books and I started breaking into Christmas concepts. I find that every year the holiday creeps up on me and there are countless recipes that I never get to. This year, I have my game face on and have some fab concepts coming your way!   When it comes to holidays, we all love them as it’s a time to get...

                            Hello & Happy Friday                 I was going to save this recipe for Friday, but I lately I’ve been getting a few random cravings and they are just too good not to share right away lol. If you know me, you know I long for all things cinnamon and sugar. I feel as though this combo is a staple,...

                                If there is one breakfast concept I crave, it’s a good muffin! I recently tested various recipes and came up with the perf texture balance. Since then I’ve done an array of options as they are just too easy and make for the perf brunch option!   When it comes to fall we typically envision all things pumpkin and apple....

        I’m currently on a vegan cinnamon roll kick after the recent pumpkin revamp, but I’m still all about an effortless vegan muffin! For the longest time I felt that vegan muffins were a complete dud. The texture was always off or the muffins didn’t cook all the way thru and were just bricks.    Once I stumbled upon the perf vegan muffin recipe, I was on a rampage to create countless concepts! To...

                          As we’re getting deeper into November, it occurred to me that we had yet to feature a staple pumpkin muffin! I don’t know about you, but I love all things pumpkin, especially a muffin! I’ve found that to perfect a vegan pumpkin muffin it’s all about balancing the moisture. Too much and it won’t cook all the way through, too...

                                Every weekend deserves a muffin and with the new spring weather arriving, it only meant one thing..    Vegan Pineapple Coconut Muffins!!   I don’t know about you, but I love anything that’s fruit forward and I’m enamored with with all things pineapple and mango. That being said, these new muffins were a no...

                                With so many recipes on the back burner and the fall weather coming taking over, I knew I had to share this classic Peach Oatmeal Muffin recipe! Last month I went thru a muffin phase as it finally occurred to me that I lacked various breakfast concepts and that muffins were amiss! Out of countless breakfast options I have to say, I...

                      If you’ve been following along I’ve been deep in a muffin obsession for weekend concepts. While many opt for pancakes, because well, who doesn’t love pancakes, I love a good muffin! I can control the sugar content better versus pancakes with syrup. I can also eat half of one and get my fill on something sweet versus pancakes where you feel like you just have to finish...

                                    If there is one concept I love on the weekends, it’s a fab muffin! I typically love just half of one warm with vegan butter, but there is nothing that compares! While I love waffles and pancakes, the texture doesn’t hold up like a muffin will and so it makes for a great treat to reach for throughout the...

                        This week I whipped up some fab dishes! Something I also do for Eat Drink Shrink is create an effortless concept for the weekend. While some of us prefer to dine out on the weekends, a lot of us take it as an opportunity to get in the kitchen, which I love!   When it comes to full proof brunch concepts, I love a good muffin. I skipped doing muffins for...

                              If there is one cake I’m forever enamored with, it’s carrot cake! While my birthday is in November, my cake was typically a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. That being said, I’ve always had an affinity for all things vanilla and cinnamon, and been less about chocolate.    Whether it’s the cinnamon, the...

      Hello & Happy Saturday!!   Throughout my childhood we always had muffins. While they weren’t homemade, the whole concept of a muffin remains nostalgic for me. A lot of times when you’re working with fruit in a baked good, you run the risk of over saturating the batter and you can be left with just a brick of mush. When it comes to vegan baking and substituting an egg for banana, you run the risk even...

                      Hello & Happy Monday!!           Since I’m one of those people who always has an avocado on hand, I typically always have one that’s on its way out too lol. That being said, I’m always looking for new ways to salvage them as I hate wasting. One of my favorite things to do is throw them in cookies or brownies, but I had yet...

                        Hello & Happy Monday!!               As soon as I heard the first mention of fall, I was instantly dreaming of all things pumpkin lol. Like most people, after a while I get maxed out on pumpkin, but I love to play around with it as the flavor profile is just so me. Long before there was even a pumpkin spice latte, I was all...

                        Hello & Happy Wednesday!!               Since the beginning of the year I’ve been producing a muffin recipe once a week. To date there has to be upwards of 30 different concepts as there is nothing quite like a fab muffin on a Saturday morning. I sometimes prefer them over the traditional pancakes as they’ll...

                              Yesterday was QUITE the day. While I’ve been running EDS since undergrad, I can confidently say that I’m not as tech savvy as I appear and learned so much yesterday. There are many aspects of running a website that go on behind the scenes and more so protecting it. EDS was unfortunately hacked yesterday and was an eye opening...

Hello & Happy Saturday!! The weekends are all about rest, catching up on real life, and if you’re me, muffins lol. I typically don’t indulge in sweets during the week or keep it to a minimum. However, once the weekend comes I’m much more flexible and love to explore brunch concepts.   My personal favorite the last few months has been, muffins!

                                Today was a busy day so I’m running a little behind, but there is always room for vegan muffins! When it comes to muffins I’m all about them. For years I steered clear of them, because the mixture just always seemed off with vegan recipes. However, once I found a recipe that works..    I went full steam ahead to explore...

It’s not like cake, it’s not like a bread, but its fluffy and just amazing with a little butter.   Let’s be honest, you shouldn’t eat an entire muffin for breakfast on the daily, but it’s a nice indulgence on a weekend and everything...

                            Hello & Happy Saturday!             if there is one brunch concept I love, its a good muffin!

                                        Hello & Happy Friday!!                 If there is one thing I can’t emphasize enough, it’s using fresh herbs. Fresh herbs versus dried have the ability to completely transform a dish. As a child, we never had fresh herbs in our home. (truth) As I got...

For the longest time I never did muffins as they can just be a complete miss when trying to create vegan versions. Once I found the right balance with ingredients, I’ve been on...

                                          Hello & Happy Thursday!!               Out of all the baked goods to create, muffins are never my go to. Perhaps because in many ways they are considered a dessert and it’s hard to create a healthy option that doesn’t compromise the whole idea of a...
