Dark Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

dark chocolate zucchini muffins // my bacon-wrapped life

HI!! I’m back!

After a crazy amazing summer that involved one very special day, I am so happy to be back in the swing of things! Something about Fall just makes me feel so excited to get back to business and get organized, even though I am definitely not a student anymore. I missed this blog and I missed you all!!

I know I am just catching the tail end of summer, but I couldn’t let the season pass by without sharing an awesome zucchini recipe. I am still seeing tons of zucchini at the Oakland farmers market, so I’m hoping you still have it readily available where you are, too. Can we hold off on the pumpkin spice and butternut squash for a little bit longer? I can’t handle it yet!

Coconut Oil Banana Bread

categories: Breads, Breakfast, Recipes, Whole Grains

Do you ever see a recipe (in a cookbook, online, on a menu, wherever) and you just absolutely have to drop everything and make it RIGHT THEN?

This is a result of one of those moments.

OK fine, I saw this beauty a few weeks ago, but this was the very first opportunity I had to bake something, so for me, that’s a pretty darn quick turn-around. As a food blogger, I have a looooong list of recipe ideas and a significant backlog of things I want to make. But I wasn’t feeling inspired for my post this week until I started thinking about exactly what I really wanted to eat. I was craving something cozy and sweet but not overly indulgent, something that I wouldn’t feel terrible about eating (especially before the pending Thanksgiving onslaught) but also would satisfy me and make me feel warm and fuzzy inside the way really only a fantastic baked treat can. I wanted this coconut oil banana bread and, backlog be damned, I was going to make it!

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pancakes

categories: Breakfast, Recipes

Guys, I played it so cool this year. I patiently waited all the way until OCTOBER to post a pumpkin recipe.

Not going to lie – this would not have been possible if it wasn’t for San Francisco’s Indian summers. The daily 75-and-sunny forecast hasn’t really made me want to cozy up with chili and Oktoberfest beers and pumpkin everything as much as I usually do. But I’m craving Fall in a big way, so although the weather might not be cooperating, I’ve been determined to make it feel like Fall in our house ever since the calendar crept over into October. And what better way to do that than with dark chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes?
