Salted Coconut Caramels
I have been off work, on maternity leave, for two weeks now, and I must tell you I’m not all that good at having nothing to do. Ok, it’s not like I actually have *nothing* to do, I’ve been keeping busy fielding all kinds of amusing emails and text messages from well-meaning people coming out…
no sugar banana bran muffins
Five years ago, almost to the day, I published a recipe for a bran muffin sweetened with only dates and bananas. To this day it remains the recipe on this site that I am most proud of, and probably the most Muffin Mythiest muffin recipe there is, so I thought it was high time I…

This spiced vegan friendly applesauce cake is tender, moist, and studded with raisins. Made healthier with oat flour and maple sugar, it’s an afternoon treat you can feel good about. I’m excited to announce that I recently became a member of a community of like-minded health focused bloggers called The Recipe Redux. Started by registered dietitians, The…
wholegrain rhubarb muffins with apricot and ginger
Wholegrain muffins with fresh spring rhubarb, apricot, and ginger two ways – a Throwback Thursday post from The Muffin Myth archives. Since finishing my last exam nearly a month ago I’ve been working a tonne, often teaching two different courses in the same day. On the days when I do end up with a block…
make and freeze breakfast bars
I learned something shocking recently. Not everyone loves overnight oats as much as I do. I know. It’s crazy, right? For one thing, the texture, which I find magically creamy and delicious, is not for everyone. Also, being the winter and all, not everyone is into the idea of a cold breakfast. And perhaps most…
single serving chocolate cake
Sometimes portion control is the easiest path to moderation, so today I’m sharing a single serving chocolate cake. Because everyone deserves a little cake sometimes! I’ve been going grey since my early 20’s. I think at around 22 I found my first grey hair and though they slowly trickled in, in the last few years…
pumpkin millet muffins
Whole wheat pumpkin muffins with a healthy dose of toasted millet, studded with raisins and toasted pumpkin seeds, sweetened with date syrup, and spiced with ginger. Recently I was chatting with a friend about how the kale scene in Stockholm has really improved over the last year. It used to be basically impossible to…
peaches and cream muffins
I don’t know about you guys, but I am clinging to this summer like my life depends on it. This time of year seems fleeting and fragile, and I want to hold on to it for as long as possible. Peaches are one of my favourite summer fruits. I believe their lusciousness and fragility warrants…
chocolate and olive oil zucchini cupcakes with salted honey mascarpone
Today is a big day on The Muffin Myth! Exactly four years ago today I hit publish on my first post with absolutely no idea what would happen next. And what a four years it has been! There have been ups and downs. Celebrations and frustrations. New jobs, and new friends. Broken ankles and broken dishes….
almond-pulp muffins with cherries and chia
Remember when we made our own almond milk? Mmmmm, home made almond milk is sooooo good! That pulp though! What do we do with the leftover pulp?! I hate wasting food, so I was determined to come up with a recipe that not only used the almond pulp, but used the whole batch. 1 batch…
coco cocoa banana bread
I read something recently about the relationships between mothers and children, about how children know deeply who their mothers are because they are the only ones who know what their hearts sound like on the inside. Isn’t that just the loveliest thing? You know what else is lovely? Chocolate coconut banana bread. This recipe has…
fudgy adzuki bean brownies
One time while I was at a party that I had made most of the food for, including a few chocolate cakes (this cake, to be specific), a girl came up to me and asked if there was sugar in the cakes. I told her of course there was sugar in the cakes. They’re cakes! Chocolate cakes!…
roasted strawberries + yoghurt cake
Last time we spoke we talked about time and now it flies. Indeed it does. How crazy is it that The Muffin Myth was launched three years ago today?! When I started this blog it was because I wanted to write about food, share what I know about nutrition, and connect with people. I also…
spicy chocolate snickerdoodles
I’ve officially reached the time of year when my diet consists of more cookie dough than not cookie dough. I’ll tell ya, I feel pretty gross. The problem is that last week I baked 500 scones and at least as many cookies for a holiday open house, and there was a lot of, err, sampling…
Lucia buns
Dark. Darkity dark dark. I know I sound like a broken record. Although I do find the darkness overwhelming at times, one of the things I love about winter in Sweden is how the people here answer the darkness with an onslaught of lights. At this time of year, pretty much every window has some…
100% whole wheat bread
I am an eater of wheat and a lover of bread. I’ve dabbled with eating gluten free a few times, mostly because I get a lot of emails and questions from people who are, for various reasons, eating gluten free, and I want to better understand it. Every time I eat gluten free the same…
raspberry cornbread
It’s hard to get any work done on these lazy summer days. What’s occupying your time is driving through a small coastal town on a warm afternoon with one of your favourite people (who, just the night before, surprised you with their presence at your family beach fire), and you pull over because you see…
