Try making a loaf of delicious banana bread for dessert. It has a dense, slightly moist texture. Slightly overripe bananas are ideal for baking, as they are the most fragrant and sweet. With just a few essential ingredients you probably already have at home, you can make a delicious treat for the whole family. These pastries are perfect as a dessert with a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon snack, or a picnic treat.
Cauliflower makes a perfect substitute for golden chicken wings in this healthier version of an all-time favorite. You get that unique balance of crispness, sweetness, tanginess, and spice in a sticky, finger-licking glaze. Buffalo wings are an ideal snack for any time of the day, having all the goodness of less fat but with more fiber. Fans of this American cocktail classic will love this indulgence without guilt. Cauliflower may be our star for now, but other foods would serve just as well. These could include zucchini sticks, onion rings, green tomato slices, eggplant wedges and mushroom pieces. Actually, any sturdy vegetables that can be fried are suitable. Using the same batter and glaze from this recipe, prepare a large platter of assorted meat and vegetables for your next party. This secret of the dish is its crisp and flavorful beer batter. Don’t settle for a batter that is dense and soggy. Equal parts of all-purpose flour and cornstarch give your cauliflower a good crispness after soaking up all those delicious flavors from the glaze. The dark lager gives the batter a distinct flavor while making it light and airy. As for the glaze, different blends are popular but my favorite is Sir Racha. In fact, I use this for most recipes where hot sauce is called for. I even use sesame oil in place of butter whenever I get a craving for something Asian, and finish off with a sprinkling of spring onions and sesame seeds. Be creative! These cauliflower buffalo bites team up well with your favorite dip, whether it’s garlic, aioli, blue cheese, mayo, or even the good old tartar sauce. Time to get those napkins dirty!

These incredibly moist and pretty muffins are a delicious treat at any time of the year. They can be served as a dessert, but can also be eaten as a healthy and filling snack. Frosty citrus icing adds a great contrast to the cinnamon flavored butternut squash muffins. However, it is entirely up to you whether you want to ice your muffins or not, these butternut muffins would taste equally nice with a spread of butter or even peanut or almond butter. We used a silicone muffin pan to make this recipe but you are welcome to use paper liners if preferred. The recipe makes about 20 medium sized muffins. We hope you give these lovely butternut squash muffins a try!
