Last Sunday mum and dad came around for brunch and I whipped up some Peanut Butter Banana Bread (recipe here) and Apple & Cinnamon Muffins (recipe here) for the occasion. Corey has been slowly eating away at the loaf of banana bread since and is loving it! I am not a big fan of banana's or banana bread but I tried a piece and it was quite nice. Very moist! I would prefer it without the peanut butter glaze though. I loved the muffins though! They were also super moist. I think it is because of the yoghurt in them. The bonus with these is that not only are they yummy but they are also low fat. So guilt free baking!
The weekend before I realised we had a bag of carrots in the fridge that weren't being eaten so I decided to use up a few by making some carrot cupcakes. These were delicious! Especially with the addition of maple buttercream icing. Yum!!!

It's been forever since I made carrot cake or cupcakes and you've inspired me to when I get home--thanks!
ReplyDeleteI desperately need to start baking again though it's so hard to find time with a baby in the house! Enjoy as much baking as you can before your time is fully taken up by a certain little someone..not that you'll mind, I'm sure. I also wanted to say that I spotted your wedding pic in the paper today! So excited to see you in there...you both look completely dashing!! : )
