Today’s recipe is actually thanks to a request from the lovely Ingrid of IngStyle who, after thoroughly enjoying a banana date muffin in a cafe, asked if I had a recipe for some she could make at home! It’s a combo I’ve enjoyed before but never made myself, so I did some playing around and here we are – my banana date muffins! Hopefully they’re as good as your cafe experience Ingrid!
Berry season is one of my favourite times of the year and when I saw strawberries for 99 cents a punnet at my local fruit & vege shop I knew I needed to pick up a few quick smart – some for eating, some for smoothies and some for these strawberry oat muffins!
Whenever my folks come over they look to see if there’s any baked goods in my kitchen, and they’re always disappointed if they come up short. So the next time I was heading out to visit them I knew I better not show up empty handed so whipped up these coconut, almond & date cookies which were definitely well received!
Even after making (and eating!) my Lemon & Coconut Cake I found myself with still quite a few lemons to use up so decided I would expand my lemon baking repertoire from cakes and slices to include some cookies as well!
One of my work colleagues has a farm in country Victoria and every so often will arrive at the office with bags full of herbs or citrus for us to help ourselves to. The other day it was lemons and I happily helped myself to a rather large armful (or two!) of them to bring home with me.
