]]> Muffins are one of the easiest desserts to make, but coming up with new flavor combos requires a little bit more skill. If you’re out of inspiration and looking for some new ideas, head to Cherie Tu’s food blog Thriving on Plants for some delicious muffin recipes.

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

Lemon and poppy seeds are one of those timeless flavor combos that are never going out of style. They’ll give your muffins a refreshing and juicy flavor, and if you still haven’t tried mixing them together—now’s the time!

Raspberry Lemon Muffins

Tu enjoys using lemon juice as the main ingredient in many of her recipes and this one is the case in point. Raspberries and lemons truly bring out the best in each other, and they can take pretty much any dessert to another level.

Double Choc Banana Protein Muffins

If you’re a huge fan of chocolatey desserts, these muffins will rock your world. Made with ripe bananas, cacao powder, and vegan chocolate protein, they’re delicious and gluten-free at the same time.

PB Banana Walnut Muffin Bars

Muffins come in many different shapes and forms, and if you’ve never tried making muffin bars before, it’s time to give them a shot. They may look a little bit different, but they taste just as delicious as the real thing.

Spiced Banana Berry Nut Loaf

If you’re looking for a way to put a twist on a classic banana bread recipe, Tu’s blog won’t leave you disappointed. This spiced nut loaf is one of her very best, and you can give it the irresistibly sweet taste with bananas, dates, berries, and a hint of cinnamon.

Cashew Banana Bread Loaf

Speaking of recipes that allow you to put a twist on banana bread, using cashews as a topping will allow you to take it to the next level.

Raspberry Vanilla Protein Loaf

Tu enjoys adding fresh berries to her bread loaves, and that’s exactly what she did this time around. Raspberries made this bread extra-sweet, and you’ll appreciate its taste even more if you eat it with vanilla coconut yogurt.

Blueberry Vanilla Protein Loaf

Another protein bread made with fresh berries, this moist and fluffy loaf tastes extra-refreshing thanks to blueberries, coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract.

]]> Cheesecake is a pretty straightforward dessert that comes with cookie crust, smooth cheesy layer, and fruit-covered topping – or at least it was. Australian food blogger Cherie Tu turned the recipe for this sweet treat on its head with her adorable mini cheesecakes.

She shared a series of irresistible recipes on her blog, using all sorts of ingredients that usually don’t cross our mind when we’re making cheesecake. The one we’re bringing you today is her recipe for mocha cheesecake, perfect for all coffee lovers.

Instead of making them in classic cake form, Cherie Tu scaled things down by using silicone cupcake molds. Her decorations always look picture-perfect, but even if you don’t manage to nail every detail, great taste is all that matters.
