Last summer, I fell in love with smoothie bowls. Every Saturday as soon we we were released from media and cleaning duties, my camp compadre drove us to Nekter Juice Bar for acai bowls piled high with strawberries, granola, and bananas. She always purchased a berry-laden bowl, but I sampled every option.
Is it any surprise that National Doughnut Day makes me think of camp? My first summer working at Pine Cove’s Camp in the City, there was a boy on our team nicknamed “Dunks.” National Doughnut Day fell during our first week of camp in Marietta, GA. A camper decided to bring Dunkin’ Donuts for Dunks in honor of his personal holiday.
Today, I am sharing with you an easy recipe for baked doughnuts. If you have a doughnut pan, this batter is perfect for beautiful circular doughnuts.
If you don’t have a doughnut pan, I recommend baking the batter in a muffin tin. Once the doughnuts have cooled, scoop a shallow hole into the top of the muffin, and fill it with jelly.
Yield: 12 donuts

If you give me a coupon, I am more likely to buy something. If you give me a coupon and put the item on sale, it’s a done deal. The product is in my cart.
That’s how I found myself with a box of these chocolate-covered banana slices. I became an immediate fan. The packaged treat was just so convenient as a snack around the house.
…But I wasn’t about to buy another box without a coupon, especially since I knew I could make an enhanced, decorated version at home.
You really only need 2 ingredients for this recipe: bananas and chocolate. If you are feeling festive or fancy, add some crushed nuts, shredded coconut, granola, candy pieces, sprinkles, butterscotch chips, or anything else that would taste good with bananas and chocolate.

Now that you are considering all sorts of crazy feats, let’s switch gears and chat about the great month of March. I love March for several reasons.
It’s no secret that I LOVE nut butter. I like nut butter with bananas. I like nut butter with oatmeal. I like nut butter with pretzels. I like nut butter with carrots. And I really like nut butter with chocolate.
It’s January, which means three things:
Although there is nothing I can do to bring warmer weather or expel a few Resolutioners from the gym, I can continue to help you celebrate National Oatmeal Month.
Lemon poppy seed is one of my favorite muffin flavors. Lemon is light, and happy, and the taste of summer. Maybe these muffins will provide enough sunshine to last me to June.
