Sunflower Seed Bourbon Pumpkin Bread

cherlyn — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 22:08:45 +0000

Every year, I look for new ways to fancy up pumpkin bread. If you’ve been following me for a while now, you’ll know that pumpkin bread is one of my favorite go-to recipes. I love how versatile it is, making it into muffin form or a more decadent feeling in a loaf. Some of the easiest add-ins are nuts, but I recently found this recipe (obviously now modified) that incorporates bourbon...

Healthy Nutty Pumpkin Muffins

cherlyn — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 03:45:01 +0000

Oh heyyyy I’m back from a summer off from writing up recipes here! Mostly I didn’t create any of my own and also have been a bit basic with my baking (you can check out what I’ve been up to on Instagram if you’re really curious). But it’s now fall and it’s definitely baking season for literally everyone who’s ever been inclined to bake. I think that the cool air has got people enjoying being cozy...

Pandan Chocolate Braid

For the longest time, I refused to work with yeast. That is, until I finally clicked with yeast. Under the right conditions, yeast is beautiful and helps your breads become fluffy and light. But used incorrectly, outside the right conditions, it doesn’t quite work that way. I’ve been more eager to use yeast in recipes now. Here’s some tips right off the bat! Anyway, here’s a go at a braid! I love...

Simple Eggs Benedict

cherlyn — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 00:34:47 +0000

Whenever we go out for brunch, I go for french toast or sometimes a confit hash. But for my mom, it’s a no-brainer she’ll order an Eggs Benedict, whatever is offered. I don’t know what it is and her love affair with even just a simple eggs benny, but maybe it’s because as simple as it gets, an eggs benedict is still a wonderful concoction full with flavor, using just the simplest components.

Easy Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

cherlyn — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:26:16 +0000

As simple as it sounds, Pumpkin Cornbread is truly the easiest and yummiest recipe. Not sponsored by Trader Joe’s, but literally this is a 5 ingredient recipe made from all Trader Joe’s ingredients if you want. But highly highly highly recommend sticking to the cornbread mix from Trader Joe’s. Oh yeah, that’s right, this recipe isn’t 100% made-from-scratch like my previous recipes.

What better than Autumnal Morning Glory Muffins to start of your day as we enter the fall season?

Orange Pecan Bread

It’s occurred to me that I’ve actually made many orange muffins over the course of my college career but have yet to revive it post-college. I think it’s had a bad rap for being too dry. But learn this: use yogurt to substitute milk in quick bread recipes and you’re gonna get a perfectly moist bread. Oranges are a winter fruit, but I love the freshness of citrus for summer when it’s hot out.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Cardamom Muffins

cherlyn — Tue, 26 May 2020 17:00:51 +0000

Blueberries and almonds are probably my top go-to flavors when baking. To me, they give a nice healthy aspect to baking, offsetting the butter and sugar and processed carbs. So in true Vanilla Whisk fashion, I present my Whole Wheat Blueberry Cardamom Muffins that are healthier and still just as yummy as regular blueberry muffins. A balance of sweet, ripe blueberries with the mellow taste of whole...

Banana Crumble Muffins

cherlyn — Tue, 21 May 2019 20:05:32 +0000

Let me just tell you how much I love banana bread. In college, I’d make it probably once a month at least! But what really got me into banana bread or banana muffins was always having overripe bananas sitting around the kitchen. Some point in my youth, I stopped enjoying ripe bananas and would only eat green bananas. Well, at least ones that had barely ripened enough so you can still peel the...

Blueberry Mini Loaves

So what do you do when you have heaps of frozen blueberries sitting around? I mean, I suppose I can keep them frozen, it’s not like they’re going bad any time soon. But, what I really mean to say, is when I have berries sitting in my freezer, I still want to eat them! I’ve been in a blueberry frenzy, from blueberry smoothies to blueberry pies. But I’m a-okay with that! Let’s blueberr-ify...
