These Banana Hazelnut Cupcakes are just about everything you can ask for in a cupcake–soft, moist, full of banana flavor with a bit of crunch and earthy nuttiness from the tasted hazelnuts–all topped off with a Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting that is slightly tangy, slightly sweet, and fully as addicting and eat-it-by-the-spoonful-able as Nutella itself. …
I’ve had the tendency these past few weeks to throw some of my favorite fall and winter flavors into some early spring bakes. I’m going to change that up this week though as this cake is all about fresh flavors and spring. This Almond, Raspberry, and Lemon cake is a dream come true. The cake …
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 …
This cake was a labor of love. Do you ever have something that you firmly believe will be amazing, but every attempt you make at is just isn’t quite right? For me, that was this Orange Pistachio Cake. I made this cake last year for my birthday because I couldn’t get the thought of orange, …

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 …
These cookies are magical. They’re essentially the pastry form of a time machine. From the moment I tasted the dough, I was transported back to a way simpler time in life where I could eat half a dozen cookies in a day without total judgment because a kid giving in to her sweet tooth & …
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 …
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 …
