Healthy Banana Breakfast Muffins

November 27, 2017 By Emma Burton Leave a Comment

These Healthy Banana Breakfast muffins are refined sugar free and can be made vegan. Bananas really shine in these muffins are supported with the flavours of maple syrup, oats and cinnamon.

I love healthy muffin recipes (as you can see from my Paleo Apple Muffins) and I felt it was time for a new healthy muffin recipe. After all, we all need a good breakfast muffin recipe. Something you can just get up and go with or make the night before. Breakfast muffins are great for feeding a family or making a batch ahead for the week.

Cinnamon Rolls

After a little research I discovered its National Cinnamon Bun Day! In Sweden at least. I’m all for national food days so I’m hijacking Sweden’s for New Zealand! Say hello to the easiest and the best cinnamon rolls you will ever make and eat!

Cinnamon Rolls aren’t a big thing in New Zealand so I had only ever had one once as a child. With all the hype around them that I see online I just new I had to try making them for myself. I’ve seen cinnamon rolls that are more crisp and chewy with not much filling and only a light drizzle of icing and I knew without a doubt that that is NOT how I wanted my cinnamon rolls. I wanted soft, spongy rolls with lots of filling and a generous icing so they would be all warm, sticky and ooey gooey. You know I’m all about the goo!

Berry and White Chocolate Muffins

December 18, 2016 By Emma Burton 2 Comments

Only seven more sleeps until Christmas! I would lie and say I’m super excited and have been counting down the days but honestly my mind is still back in like October so to me it really doesn’t feel like Christmas should even be here yet! This year is going way too fast and needs to slow down. Like seriously, time needs to stop please.

Anyway on to today’s recipe. Berry and White Chocolate Muffins. Perfectly soft, dense and fluffy muffins with bursts of berries and white chocolate. These are amazing straight out of the oven or heated up so the white chocolate is all melty.

This is one of those recipes that I first tried years ago because I was asked to do so and I reluctantly agreed. At the time I absolutely hated even the thought of white chocolate and anything with berries was immediately deemed “healthy” in my mind so why would I want to eat that?! (I must admit, my mind still kind of works this way….)

However, everyone at the gathering these muffins were made for, absolutely adored these muffins and didn’t stop commenting on the flavours and the textures. Since I refused to try them I smiled and nodded at the compliments.

Cheesecake Stuffed Brownie Cups – Brownie Week

October 26, 2016 By Emma Burton Leave a Comment

Today marks day two of brownie week here on Lights, Camera,BAKE! and if you haven’t seen the first recipe (Brownie Mallow Balls) then please check it out! Today’s recipe is Cheesecake Stuffed Brownie Cups which, as you might expect, are cheesecake filled brownies baked in a muffin tin so they are little ‘cups’. These are inspired by the Nutella Stuffed Blondie Cups.

These are insanely delicious. I mean a rich and fudgy brownie filled with a creamy cheesecake…. What’s not to love? I used my Chewy Brownie recipe for the cups as it always turns out super fudgy, rich, dense and chewy and this richness pairs perfectly with the creamy, slightly tangy cheesecake center.

Bleeding Gooey Butter Cake Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Cups (Video)

October 17, 2016 By Emma Burton Leave a Comment

Only two weeks to go until Halloween and to celebrate I have a special treat for you. (This is not a trick I promise!). This recipe is perfect for Halloween. Bleeding Gooey Butter Cake Stuffed Chocolate Cookie Cups: A buttery, vanilla, cheesecake like center that has been encased in a soft and chewy chocolate cookie. Serve these at a party, make them to eat while watching those scary movies, or just indulge in these delicious, gooey cups.

This idea came to me when I was trying to come up with new recipes. After the success of my chocolate chip cookie cup adventure (Peanut Butter Nutella Filled Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups), I wondered how a chocolate cookie cup would go. However coming up with a filling was tough. I didn’t want a typical peanut butter or Nutella filling, I wanted different. Unique. Over-the-top. That was when I thought of the Chocolate Nougat Gooey Butter Cake recipe I posted a few months ago. That topping that is similar to a cheesecake but richer, more buttery and oh so delicious, I just knew I had to test this idea.
