Banana-walnut muffins (or banana nut muffins!) were the most popular treats during our vacation on the West Coast of the U.S. (San Francisco, the national parks, Death Valley, Las Vegas, …).
Before setting off on a long trip (the open spaces, for those who’ve never been there, are veeeery vast), we’d always stock up on provisions and water, and treat ourselves to a few sweets. The selection was vast, but in the end we always chose the banana and walnut muffins: they leave a delicious taste in your mouth,
We’re back in action after a few years’ hiatus (moving, job changes, marriage—you know, the usual stuff!). To make it up to you, we’re sharing these delicious pumpkin muffins. I recommend using “large” muffin tins or liners so the center stays a little “moist”—it’s much more satisfying that way! The recipe serves 12 people and is very easy to follow.
Fall has definitely arrived—at least here in Milan—and I’ve decided to bid a final farewell to the nice weather with these chocolate and pear muffins!
In fact, just from the cover photo, you can see that I actually made this recipe back in September. I was sure the bad weather was coming, but we were spared until early November—not bad, I must say!
So here’s the recipe for chocolate and pear muffins.
The first recipe this fall is for apple and raisin muffins—they’re delicious! We can even pretend they’re “healthy”—after all, there’s clearly fruit in them!
All joking aside, I don’t know about where you are, but here in Milan we’re having a fantastic start to fall! I hope you’re having fun and that this has helped you get over some of that so-called “back-to-school stress”! :D .
Let’s jump right into the recipe and the shopping list for apple and raisin muffins!
Happy April 25 to everyone! I hope you’ve had—and are having—some wonderful long weekends; I certainly have!
The recipe for Zucchini Tarts was created for our collaboration with our friends from MANI in Rome for a workshop on the colors of food with children!

Let’s start with the recipe—a small cake. We made a dinner for one, adding some side dishes and a piece of fruit or dessert, so you can adjust it to your liking! :)
Lemon and poppyseed muffins are one of the most traditional English desserts—along with blueberry muffins, of course!
The UK wants Brexit, and we’re going to slip them a few treats before they leave ;p.
With the arrival of summer, I got a craving for strawberries, so I tried making these muffins with strawberry chunks inside!
Then, since I was making quite a few muffins, I decided to try out some variations as I went along :) Some contain just strawberries, others strawberries and bananas, and still others strawberries and dark chocolate! I have to say, the result was truly spectacular! :D
