    Morning folks!

     

    Is it getting chilly in your neck of the woods? It's been a nice transition into Fall here with sunny and slightly cool days. Yet my house feels more like a meat freezer, forcing me to snuggle up in some hoodies and plant a heater fan 2 inches from my body. Because I REFUSE to turn on the heat before mid-October.

    I also ventured off to the library to get out of the house for a while. Being able to work from home has it's perks, but sometimes I need to get out and pretend to socialize. Just me and Kelly getting our read on.

    And finally got my hands on a copy of this after hearing many rave reviews. Who knows, maybe it will inspire me to do something crazy like travel the world, eat a bunch of pizza, and have a movie made after me where James Franco plays my Italian lover. Either way if Oprah approves I'm sold.

    And in case you didn't get the memo it's THURSDAY! And better yet, it's my second recipe of the week! Just call me Paula buttah, cause I'm on a roll 😉

    Is there more of a warm fuzzy feeling spice than cinnamon? Sure, an apple is deliciously reminescent of Fall, but slice it up, sprinkle with some cinnamon and ..BOOM! I'm taken back to childhood memories of afternoon snacks, Rugrats, jumping in leaves, and scarecrow jamborees.

    Or an innocent trip to the mall to cash in those coupons for a free trial size hand sanitizer and pair of cotton panties when all of a sudden you're strike with not just a want but a NEED for the most warm, gooey and cream cheese frosted cinnamon bun that would make even the Pillsbury dough boy curse your name for.

    So maybe I'm partial to cinnamon in a sense that I put it on as many foods as peanut butter. But one taste and you'll be hitting up Costco for those industrial-sized canisters of the stuff.

     

    And cinnamon raisin toast with a smother of melty butter is no exception to this cinnamon comfort rule. While it may stand up to par with satisfying my soul, that's about where it stops.

     

    "That piece of cinnamon raisin toast sure filled me up!"

                                                               -No one ever.

     

    So instead I sought out to take the filling power of pb and oats to bring you a flourless, and refined sugar-less version combined with yet another comfort-filled treat. Banana bread!

    I adapted Amanda's recipe for flourless banana bread muffins.

     

    Where was I before I  went off personifying peanut butter? Let's just get to the recipe, shall we?

    So I say the cinnamon sugar is optional, but let's face it, the ¼ of a teaspoon of added sugar to these otherwise naturally sweetened muffins is necessarily worth it. And a schmear of melty butter sure wouldn't ruin these either.

      Seriously I could eat 5 pieces of cinnamon toast and still be hungry. Can't wait to give your muffins a try! Also, Cheryl's hometown where she had the horse...only about 40 miles from my house!
