Lightly sweet with a nutty toasted oat and brown sugar topping and banana slices layered in the center, these Banana Oat Bars are perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or snack. Despite the fact that I’ve been making a conscious effort this past week (albeit, not a fully successful one) to get to bed earlier and …
Ingredient: light brown sugar
Espresso Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie
The ever timeless pairing of coffee and chocolate come together in this supersized Espresso Chocolate Chunk Skillet Cookie. With a layer of whiskey caramel in the center (optional, but highly recommended–you can also always just use a layer of store-bought caramel sauce if you don’t want to make your own), this skillet cookie is impossible …
Chocolate Chunk Biscotti
Chocolate chip cookies are just about as classic as a bake can get. They are just about everywhere you turn. Sometimes, you want to take those classic flavors and fold them into something just a little less common, something that doesn’t try too hard but is worth all the attention that it will get. These …
Carrot and Apple Muffins
If there is one thing that every baker should have a recipe for, it’s a good muffin. Something light and fresh that’s packed with flavor and texture. For me, these Carrot and Apple Muffins fit the bill. They’re perfect for a spring morning or a fall afternoon. The moistness from the carrot and the apple …
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts
Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts (Donuts).
Skip my rambling and just go straight to the recipe at the bottom. It speaks for itself!
Raspberry & Nutella Cookie Bars
You know what flavors go really well together? Raspberry, chocolate, and hazelnut. And when I say this, I mean really really well. Nutella has that sweet, milk chocolate flavor mixed with a bit of hazelnut. But what happens when you take that, add some extra toasted hazelnuts to amplify the nuttiness of the spread, and …
Blueberry Balsamic Muffins
I have had blueberry and balsamic vinegar on my mind for years. No joke. A few years ago, I made a blueberry pie for my friend Sara’s birthday with a brown sugar and oat crumble topping. I never got a bite of it, but have been obsessed with the way the blueberries and balsamic vinegar …
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Blondies
Yep. You read that right: Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Blondies. I also like to call these Koopa Troopa Blondies. Why is that? Because these blondies were made with my favorite coffee shop in mind: The Wormhole–an amazing place full of ’80s nostalgia (so much Winona Ryder, including a Heathers poster), floppy disks, the original Nintendo …
Puppy Chow Cookies
Okay. Okay okay okay. I know I said that I was done with the cookie project after last year, but I can’t just abandon cookies completely! They’re usually pretty quick to throw together (unless you’re making my Snickers Cookies or Coffee, Sage, and Maple Millionaire’s Shortbread–those both take a bit of prep but are totally …
Elvis Puppy Chow
This recipe has me All Shook Up. And you know what? That’s All Right. I can guarantee that, pretty soon, this recipe will be Stuck on You as well. All right, all right. Done with the Elvis puns for now. Let’s get down to business. This puppy chow is addictive. Now, that’s not hard to believe when you take into account how …
