If you thought the Protein Powered Peanut Butter Granola I posted last week would be too rich for your palate, this recipe might be just what you’re looking for. It is high in protein but does not have added sugar or honey. Unlike most of the recipes I’ve tried, this scrumptious granola forms crunchy-chewy clumps for …
I was skeptical about these at first, and my fears were somewhat well founded. Don’t get me wrong; I typically love banana-nut combos in baked goods. The problem is that bananas not only add sweetness and flavor but also moisture to such treats. Muffins, quick breads and cakes should be moist; biscotti shouldn’t. Of course, …

Our son insists he doesn’t like peanut butter, but he really enjoys this bread. Sliced, toasted, and lightly buttered, it delivers a nice dose of fruit and protein for breakfast. For a tasty afternoon snack, substitute chocolate chips for the dried cranberries. Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bread Adapted from The Bread Machine Cookbook II by …
Until looking through Olwen Woodier’s Apple Cookbook, it had never occurred to me that I could bake apples into banana bread. As a mom, I loved the idea that I could serve even more fruit to my children by offering another slice of bread at breakfast or snack time. The original recipe is delicious, and I think …
