I’ve been really into cashews again lately for making basically ANY dish turn creamy & delicious. They’re the best for dairy-free swaps like cheesecakes & creamy sauces. But, I was craving something a little different- something even more savory. And the thought of that cheesy cashew creaminess paired with somethin’ spicy… just sounded too good!

Anyone else a once-fan (or current… no judgement) of those giant poppyseed muffins at Costco? There was a time in my childhood where those big guys were a breakfast staple.

Most mornings, I like my breakfast prepped, easy, and in my stomach in 10 minutes or less (closer to 5 minutes, actually). Other mornings, I’ll spend an hour whisking & mixing & waiting for puffed up golden brown perfection… Anyone else?
