In Austin, these are affectionately called "Golden Eggs," but the blogging world knows them better as Doughnut Muffins. They live up to their name by delivering the cakey, sweet goodness you expect from a doughnut but without being fried! 

And, I couldn't stop at just one topping... The classic cinnamon sugar is delicious and perfect for fall, but the glazed ones with sprinkles are absolutely adorable - "doughnut cupcakes" if you will.

How cute and fun are these?! Super-sweet baker-babe and awesome mom Brooke reveals their appeal: "Of course, they aren't really muffins at all. They are actually kinda healthy-ish cupcakes that hide a bundle of ripe bananas, whole wheat flour, and a handful of chocolate chips inside. Perfect for afterschool snacks, lunchtime snacks, or anytime you feel like snacking on something deliciously fun, moist, and full of incredible banana and chocolate flavor."

Make this superbly dense and moist cake even more special by picking your own apples straight from the tree!

(Ah, to have an apple tree in the backyard and to get so much fruit from it you end up not even knowing what to do with it sounds like quite the dream life, indeed.)

I adore mint and chocolate together. When I lived in Houston, my favorite bakery made a mint chocolate brownie - they only made them on Wednesdays, and I used to drive (out of my way) to pick one up.

The sight of these brownies takes me right back. Warm chocolate brownies, filled with bittersweet chocolate chips, topped with chocolate ganache and mint chips. Box one up for me!
