Baked Oatmeal Cups
These gluten-free oatmeal muffins are perfect for taking breakfast on the go, or for healthy snacking at home all day long. Sweetened with mashed banana and maple syrup, and lightly spiced with cinnamon, they have all the allure of a breakfast treat, but are as substantial and hearty as a bowl of oatmeal. This recipe is endlessly customizable — use your favorite dried fruit, nut butter and milk — just be sure to keep the same ratio of wet to dry ingredients so the muffins hold their shape. These may be baked in advance and stored in the refrigerator, and are as delicious chilled as they are at room temperature.

Cardamom Coffee Banana Bread
Sheela Prakash · NYT Cooking
Adding cardamom to coffee is a well-loved practice throughout the Middle East and one that plays off each ingredient's traits. Sweet, floral cardamom mellows the acidity of coffee while coffee’s inherent bitterness keeps the peppery, menthol-like notes of the spice from overpowering. Here, the couple transforms a humble banana bread, perfuming it with extra warmth, while chopped dark chocolate adds richness. An optional coffee drizzle ensures this loaf is eye-catching but if you’d rather keep things simpler, sprinkle it with coarse turbinado sugar before baking to lend a touch of sparkle as well as pleasant crunch.

Zarela Martinez's Ropa Vieja
Regina Schrambling · NYT Cooking
Sometimes the most humble ingredients make for the finest of meals, as Regina Schrambling wrote in 1988. Growing up in a tiny Arizona town among many Mexican neighbors, Ms. Schrambling learned early on of the rich flavors that can be coaxed from the simplest food. This ropa vieja, from the chef Zarela Martinez, embodies that philosophy. Garlic and peppercorns infuse a flank steak with flavor, which is then cooked shortly with a mixture of sautéed garlic, onions and poblano peppers. Hot, tucked into a tortilla, it’s a testament to the power of a long cook. Regina Schrambling
Oaxacan Yellow Mole Filling
Molly O’Neill · NYT Cooking
Oaxaca is the place where they invented mole sauce, "that perfect specimen of Mexican cooking," according to Ana M. de Benitez in "Pre-Hispanic Cooking." This is also where the natives carve wonderful mythological creatures and eat their tamales steamed in banana leaves (unlike anywhere else in Mexico). Molly O'Neill
