Moist and delicious Maple Pecan Banana Muffins, so good you won’t believe they are light! These banana nut muffins are slightly adapted from my low fat banana nut bread recipe. Here I wanted to use pecans, pure maple syrup and some maple sugar I purchased, but if you don’t have maple sugar any sugar would work. What I love about making these banana muffins is that they come out so moist, and I only use 2 tablespoons of butter in the whole batch! If you prefer, you can also make them in a loaf pan to make them into a wonderful banana nut bread. (more…) from Skinnytaste https://ift.tt/2OmQJDr

Slow Cooker Swedish Meatballs braised in a rich and flavorful cream sauce. A combination of ground beef, pork, and warm spices make for a comforting and satisfying dish. Serve as an easy appetizer or heartier meal paired with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Hi there! It’s Jessica Gavin, Certified Culinary Scientist and I’m delighted to share this comforting slow cooker Swedish meatballs recipe with you. There are three key elements to tender and juicy meatballs. This includes selecting the right combination of meat, adding a panade, and simmering over a long period of time under controlled heat. I’ve tested out numerous batches so that you have just the right texture and flavor each time you make the dish. Using an electric slow cooker is the perfect vessel for braising meat over a long period of time. Compared to a stove top, the heating is more consistent and never gets above the boiling point to prevent overcooking. The spiced meatballs simmer in a lightly thickened beef brot
