Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins with Cinnamon Crumble, Vegan & Traditional

May 23, 2014 by EmmaEats

Chocolate. Cinnamon. Banana. Delicious. The girls have been really into muffins again lately. Whether picking a treat from the bakery, at an event that has desserts or just because, muffins are in high demand here. Both girls also adore banana bread. In our house, if chocolate, cinnamon and banana are included, inevitably, a popular recipe is born. Do you have similar ingredients in your kitchen? A much beloved treat, some muffins are considered a breakfast food. These are a little sweeter and lean more to the dessert […]

Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cherry Bites

December 6, 2012 by EmmaEats

It can’t be so. Cookies with no nuts, no butter and no eggs and entirely irresistible. Well, it is indeed so. These incredibly flavourful cookies are definite crowd-pleasers and even diehard non-vegans won’t even notice that these tasty morsels are in fact without the butter, egg and nut triumvirate. Emma picked these for her school snack day awhile back and the platter came back clean. Empty. As were the bowls of them at her birthday party. As was the tray […]

Whole Wheat Banana Flax Baked Pancakes on fresh fruit skewers

I can make it on time — Whole Wheat Banana Flax Baked Pancakes

September 27, 2012 by EmmaEats

There is no longer any reason to start your morning without pancakes. Even when you’re running late. Like you, I try to do my best to provide a well-rounded healthy breakfast for my kids. Even though it only takes a few minutes to scramble an egg in the microwave/make toast/have a half a banana, somehow, that is too much to coordinate some mornings. Overhearing Emma’s teacher asking the children what they had for breakfast one morning got me thinking. Nearly […]

Summer, Summer, Summer! – S’mores Rice Krispies Squares

June 28, 2012 by EmmaEats

The first long weekend of the summer is nearly upon us. Sunshine, swimming, cottaging, fireworks, summer parties – it’s the beginning of the best season of the year. We had our first summer party last weekend for Katie’s first birthday. It turned out to be a glorious day filled with sunshine and blue skies, tiki torches and lanterns, bubbles and pinwheels, barbecued ribs and grilled vegetables, kids running and playing, and tonnes of laughter – the stuff of summer weekend barbecues. […]

Her name is Cherry – Chewy Dark Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

April 12, 2012 by EmmaEats

Originally, I had no intention of posting a dessert recipe this week. We had a big family Easter weekend where we consumed so many sinful sweets like nanaimo bars and lemon squares, chocolate cake and truffles, not to mention the many chocolate eggs from the kids’ Easter egg hunt. After “Feaster”, this week should have been a “get-back-to-healthy-eating” week. But then, as I admired the eggs in Emma and Katie’s Easter basket, I remembered these cookies. Their dark and sweet and […]

Let’s put our hearts together – Double Chocolate Brownie Cakes

February 14, 2012 by EmmaEats

Valentine’s Day is here. What are your plans? Originally, our family didn’t seem like we were up to more than helping Emma make a few cards which was a far cry from last year’s enthusiasm. We’re just back from a holiday, not quite back into our routine, the house is still in disarray and Katie’s sick. As of last night in fact, we still had the 20 Valentines for Emma to complete for her classmates. Thankfully something changed over the […]

The Sweetest Thing – Double Chocolate Blueberry Brownies

March 29, 2011 by EmmaEats

It has become increasingly noticeable that I’ve been posting a lot of dessert recipes lately on EmmaEats. It’s not been intentional, nor is the only thing Emma eats dessert. But we’ve been on a bit of a discovery of some “essentials” and this recipe is no exception. About a month or so ago, I was making pizza for dinner and noticed that next to the dog-eared page that I’ve followed for pizza dough, there was a recipe for brownies. We […]
