Monkey Muffin for One… and CCK is Moving!


Chocolate-Chip Monkey Muffin is the Single Lady Cupcake flavor of the day.

But I don’t really know why I decided to call this a monkey muffin. It’s not in any way reminiscent to monkey bread. For some reason, monkeys just came to mind as I peeled the banana. So “monkey muffin” it was.

I used spelt flour as the base. For the “monkey” part: I simply added a little mashed banana, as well as a few chocolate chips. Then I jumped around the house, making monkey noises. Okay, scratch that last sentence. But the other parts are true!

Speaking of monkeys… I’ve been monkeying around lately.

I’m talking about my blog. Today is moving day for CCK! I’m moving to a new server today, which means that—during the day—some of you will see the new site while others still see the old one. But by tomorrow, you should all be seeing the new site. I’m excited… but also nervous. If the site happens to go down for a day (or—yipes—more), please check back. It’s just temporary.

    Hi Katie,
    This has nothing to do with today’s post, but it has finally hit me! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Anne Hathaway? Everytime i see Anne in the news (like today on Yahoo) or on TV i kept thinking she reminds me of someone and it has hit me, that someone is you! I think that both of you are beautiful!! Good luck with the move.

    I need to know what kind of chocolate chips you used, they look really good! Also, I tried your veggie lentil mash for supper last night–YUM! I added sun-dried tomatoes and a few artichoke hearts on top, super good! And, this morning my 6 yr old and I made oat bran with your vegan whipped cream and raspberries–who knew oat bran tasted so good, or was it the whipped cream? Probably the whipped cream, which, by the way, my 6 yr old begged me to make. She kept saying yesterday, ‘Can you make that foamy, creamy stuff in the blender again?’. Now you know you have tiny followers as well as grown ups! Thanks for sharing!

      Sarah! Your comment made me so so happy, basically because it was so sweet (and cute!).
