Think carrot muffins with a unique twist. These muffins are moist and delicious, the perfect treat with a spot of afternoon tea.

Lemon-Ginger Streusel Bread

Use this same batter to make smaller loaves for gift-giving, if you like. For an extra treat, toast slices and serve for breakfast or an afternoon snack with cream cheese for spreading.

Yogurt Honey Health Muffins

This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. The addition of yogurt not only makes these muffins moist, but helps them stay fresh in an airtight container for up to three days and still taste wonderful. If cake flour is not readily available, all-purpose flour can be substituted. The muffins will be slightly denser, but will taste just as good.

Zucchini Bread

For a special treat or quick breakfast snack, toast slices of this fragrant quick bread and spread with apple butter or Neufchâtel cheese.

Roasted Anaheim Chile Cornbread

Although Gail in Dallas makes her version of this cornbread with jalapeños, we’ve fallen in love with gently spicy Anaheim chiles, at their best during summer months. Use them to make this rich cornbread and eat it like Gail does, smeared with butter and served alongside bowls of hearty chili.
