When you combine bananas with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips what else can you call them but Chunky Monkey Muffins.
(thank you Ben & Jerry’s for that)
Be honest with me.
When you see {Gluten Free} is that a turn off?

Happy National Muffin Day! We’re going to celebrate with Dutch Apple Pie Muffins that happen to also be Gluten Free!
I set a calendar reminder for this food holiday because I knew it would be an opportunity to spend some time in the kitchen with Ella, my fun-loving, bright, kind and witty bonus-daughter who can hold her own in the kitchen. She’s 11. She’s a natural. And she makes banana bread like nobody’s business!!

I struggled with what to call these heavenly bars. I kicked around a few ideas. Pretzel Toffee Bars. Chocolate Coconut Layered Love Bars. Magic Bars. Seven Layer Bars. Toothachers Met Their Match Bars. Truth be told…they are a casserole with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A dessert casserole. I’m not sure anyone would click on a recipe called dessert casserole.

I’ve been looking forward to receiving my 2015 cooking magazine subscriptions (I’m changing it up a bit this year). The first to arrive in the mailbox was BON APPETIT with a big banner across the top that read GET HEALTHY IN 2015. Right on!!
So I promptly made cookies. Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies.

I uttered the words “I have an abundance of blueberries” the other day and oh my word….you got on to me. I promise you not a single blueberry was left unturned or uneaten. The majority of them found their way into these awe-mazing Blueberry Pecan Crumble Bars.
Mercy.

My sister happened on a treasure a couple of weeks ago. She found a recipe box filled with family favorites. I was giddy, she was giddy. We spent an hour on the phone reminiscing over each one. When we got done I had written out a half a dozen that I had to make in a hurry. These Oatmeal Cookies were first up.

Scrolling through my Lemony Thyme News Feed yesterday I discovered this recipe posted by Feastie (on behalf of Two Peas and Their Pod). My first thought was YES, I do have apples and cranberries in my fridge, purchased with good intentions, yet still patiently waiting for their time to shine. My second thought was THIS is exactly the recipe that my brand new adorable mini covered baking dishes are longing for. My third (and final thought) was….oh my, forget the first two thoughts…this Apple Cranberry Crisp sounds awe-mazing and I’m making it.

Toothacher Bars. The name would indicate overly sweet and decadent, however these bars are so much more than that. Chocolate, caramel, and pecans make them decadent yes, but an oatmeal crumble base and topping is what makes them spectacular!!
