Walnut Recipes

These moist banana muffins are studded with crunchy walnuts—and serve up almost 8 grams of protein each!

Supreme Banana Muffins... sugar free and so healthy you wonder why they taste so good.

A delicious salad that brings together many flavors.

adapted f/ Simply in Season Cookbook. A rich cake--great for special occasions. Please note that this recipe makes 16 servings--this is a very rich cake, so a small slice is totally satisfying (I've even cut it into 24 servings before with no complaints). It's a rich, satisfying dessert despite it's simplicity (or maybe because it's so simple!). Of course, the ganache filling can be skipped, if you prefer another. I generally frost the cake with a simple cream cheese frosting (recipe not included). Depending on how thick you make the filling layer, you may have extra ganache, which can either be drizzled over the cake OR you can let it chill till almost hard, roll it into balls, roll in cocoa powder, and viola! you have truffles.

best banana nut muffins I've ever had.

These cookies are best made on a cool, dry, day. They spread quite a bit as they bake, forming lacy wafers.

filling and tasty breakfast

This is absolutely fabulous!

Homemade Enegy Bars withh all whole non processed foods.

This salad was inspired by a wonderful meal at a French bistro; it's fresh, bright and perfectly suited to wintertime.

started with a dream of sugar free chocolate chip cookies...then for sf version of the double tree cookies...then protein found its way into the bowl too...


i adapted the recipe from the back of the sf chocolate chip bag.

Sounds like an odd combo, but amazingly delicious!!

A simple recipe for about two dozen chocolate-chip and walnut cookies augmented by a few warm spices.

A yummy chocolate fix without making a whole tempting pan.

This one tastes like fall in a bowl! If you don’t have maple extract, just use maple syrup as your sweetener to add that maple flavor. The maple really makes you think of the autumn leaves, the pear adds a little tart and a little sweet, and the walnuts add just the right amount of crunch.

Yummy Vegetarian Mushroom Walnut Loaf. This recipe is adapted from "The Spot" located in Hermosa Beach, CA.

Taken from fANNEtasticfood.com : One bite into this bread and you will swoon. A crisp, slightly sweet crust, crunchy walnuts, and hot, fresh cranberries that explode in your mouth as you bite into them. Oh, and pumpkin. Yes please. Did I mention there’s no butter or oil and that this pumpkin bread is 100% whole wheat?

A delicious entree or side salad.

This is an exquisite Persian food that can be made with poultry or beef. I like to use it to use up my leftover holiday turkey, The prep is fairly simple, but it takes a long time to cook and can scorch so I recommend doing it in a slow cooker. If the sauce gets to thick before it gets to a dark rich brown color, add more water. It should be the consistency of a thick gravey. The meat can be cooked in the sauce, but start it earlier in the process. Raw beef cubes (1.5 x 1.5 Inches) or chicken pieces should be browned and should cook for several hours, to be very tender. Add the sweetener a bit at a time and add more or less to taste. The pomegranate molasses is quite tart and more or less can be used to taste. Adjust the sugar and pomegranate before adding any partially cooked meat or poultry. Serve over rice (not included in nutritional information).

A delightful no-cook strawberry dessert almost calorie free. Enjoy! You could substitute blueberry yogurt and blueberries if you wanted or any other fruit.
