Iām not normally a big fan of cornbread on account of it being so crumbly and coarse. I found these muffins to keep together well and hold a nice amount of moisture. They would be lovely with a soup or stew. Ingredients 3 eggs, separated 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 cups corn meal 1 cup…

Crumb Cupcakes
I decided to adapt this crumb cake recipe into a cupcake recipe as an easy lunch box treat for my kids. These were an instant hit in our house ā old becomes new. Ingredients 3 cups flour 1 cup Earth Balance 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp salt…
Old-Fashioned Crumb Cake
This was a delightful find among Grandma Donna’s recipes. It made me think about the time, not so long ago, where housewives would be expected to have freshly baked goods in the house in case company stopped by. This would have been one of those types of recipes – easy, light, delicious. This is lovely…
Sourdough Scones with Chocolate Chips
I love when I find an unexpectedly exceptional recipe among the family collection. I had a lot of hopes for these sourdough scones (the recipe is in my mother’s handwriting) because my comfort food, growing up, was her (regular) scones. Alas, I did not love her sourdough scone recipe – no butter!? No sugar? yikes….
Sourdough Muffins
I was recently gifted some sourdough starter. I plan on baking some bread with it, but in the meantime, I have been able to try some of Grandma Donna’s other recipes that call for sourdough starter. These muffins are light (as light as a muffin can be, let’s be honest, they still aren’t low fat…

Applesauce Streusel Loaf
This delicious, understated gem of a recipe really surprised our family – in a good way! It was gone within days. Next time around I would like to experiment with pieces of fresh apple in the batter and streusel. Loaf Ingredients 3/4 cup Earth Balance 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 2 1/4 cups…
Bran and Date Muffins
My kids love these – the sweet bites with plenty of chopped dates trick us all into thinking we’re eating a treat, but are getting quite a good amount of fibre. Ingredients 1/4 cup Earth Balance, melted 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup sour soy milk 1 egg well beaten 1 cup flour 1 tsp…
Honey Gingerbread
I had never had a piece of gingerbread before making this recipe. Of course I’ve eaten gingerbread cookies of all varieties but as an actual *bread*? Never. It’s a rich, spiced bread that would be great as a morning snack and would be a great gifting loaf in the Fall. Ingredients 3/4 cup Earth Balance…
Banana Bread (dark)
This is a darker and moister banana bread that I personally think tastes best without any additions ā although you could add nuts or chocolate chips if you want. Standalone it makes a great portable snack for our family. Ingredients 3 cups mashed bananas (approx. 5-6 bananas) 1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup…
