Prior to trying the millet muffins in Mollie Katzen’s Sunlight Café, I thought millet was just for birds, literally. We had been buying millet sprays for our lovebirds and cockatiels for ages. I was a little dubious about trying this grain myself, but the muffins were delicious. As an added bonus, it turns out that …
Sweetened primarily with apple juice, these 5-ingredient treats are all natural and packed with fruit, fiber, nuts and flavor. They are easy to mix and bake, and you don’t have to “sacrifice” your favorite homemade granola as a main ingredient.

The pineapple juice concentrate in this granola would be well accompanied by almost any combination of coconut and dried tropical fruit, including bananas, pineapple, papaya or mango. I opted for dates and …
Part Power Bar® and part granola bar, these were inspired by a recipe in The Ultimate Peanut Butter Book by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough.
