The first time I saw these doughnut muffins in one of my favourite food magazines, BBC Good Food, my heart literally skipped a beat. I was absolutely in love and I knew I would just have to make them for my family (but mostly for me)! Their original recipe calls for Raspberry preserves which I didn’t have so I used my current ‘preserve obsession’ which is Bonne Maman’s Blueberry preserves. I love how deep and deliciously dark this jam is while the flavour is pleasantly sweet and very blueberry, just what you want right? These muffins were incredibly delicious and I didn’t have to offer them twice. Within a few…

Even though I’m not a fan of muffins, I am known to bake them at least once a month because my family, especially my kids, love them so much. I just can’t resist the way my 2-year old’s say “Mama, Want NUFFIN!” My heart just melts and only good judgment stops me from handing them the entire platter to gobble up.

The texture of this might be slightly grainy for some people as the polenta never completely softens, but I really like that about these muffins. And even though I added some chopped up chillies in my batter, next time, I’ll add more. I think the bite from the chillies along with the…
There are very few people who don’t like muffins. I am one of those people. Muffins are like cakes without icing sugar and quite honestly, I don’t get cake without icing. But I can’t deny that they are very effective snacks and great as a quick grab-and-run breakfast. As long as they are of the healthier kind. These Banana & Bran muffins are just that. Packed with wonderful bananas and bran, they hold plenty of fiber and nutrients. They are great as tea-time treats and lunchbox fillers and they keep rather well so you can make a big batch at the beginning of the week and munch on them all…
