Apple Pie Streusel Muffins

September 25, 2018 by healthienut 2 Comments

I am officially moved into my dorm! I am both excited, nervous, and still adjusting, but I think I am getting the hang of things. Of course the foodie in me couldn’t wait to bake in the dorms/dorm kitchens…so on the second day I whipped out some ingredients and made a bomb recipe. Don’t worry you can still bake in college you just have to find simple recipes and have the patience!

These super fluffy and moist muffins are embedded with chunks of soft apples and topped with a caramely and crunchy struesal topping. I can say that it is definitely approved by my roomate and floormates.

My number one tip for baking in your dorm halls? Prep ALL the ingredients in your dorm and only go into the kitchen to bake them in the oven. This way you don’t have to haul over all your ingredients and equipment down to the kitchen.

This recipe is both delicious and simple. The perfect duo for college. …

I know I know…It is after Easter and I should probably slow down on the treats, but you can’t say no to chewy peanut butter cookies?

I have been dying to recreate my peanut butter cookie recipe that I posted about a year ago, as I know I can make some changes to them and make them even better. So what did I do? Filled them with a delicious coconut cashew frosting and drizzled on a bit of dark chocolate. Pass me the whole plate please! 😉…

Almond Bear Claws | Vegan

Not going to lie I have been on a roll with recipe testing and posting on my blog, but this last weekend I felt stumped because I couldn’t think of anything new that would require time and some creativity. I then turned to Facebook and asked for recipe suggestions. Well, thanks to my lovely friend Trisha she suggested I veganize almond bear claws. Thank the Lord she did, because they turned out amazing! As always…keep reading to get this life changing recipe.

The dough came out so flaky and buttery, just like how laminated dough should be. Filled with a rich and delicious almond paste (or marzipan), sprinkled with crunchy slivered almonds, and dusted with powdered sugar. It is like bringing an artisan bakery to your home. …

Lemon Blueberry Muffin Cake

I just celebrated my birthday yesterday, August 19th! It was a blast. I visited the farmers market, and enjoyed a delicious dinner at Plum Bistro (my favorite vegan restaurant in Seattle…highly recommend).

I started off my birthday with a homemade ice cream cake made by my lovely mom. I then of course had to make my own bday breakfast…I simply couldn’t resist. I made a huge batch of french toast topped with an assortment of berries (ft. on my instagram Healthienut). One of the berries being blueberries. We had so many leftovers that I had to create a recipe with them!

I have been craving muffins lately, but wanted to twist it up a bit. So this super fluffy, moist, and sweet Lemon Blueberry Muffin Cake was made!…
