Once I tried this combination of savory, smoky tahini paste and sweet, creamy milk chocolate, my life was changed for the better! They are as picture perfect as they are satisfying, so you can feel confident serving them for an afterschool snack and at the local bake sale. Plus, everyone will want to know what that incredible secret ingredient is. (I tell them “love” of course!)
Bakery muffins have such an appeal. The exotic flavor combinations, the giant proportions in pretty papers, the streusel or sugar covered domes... I decided to step up my muffin game and create a bakery worthy muffin for my loved ones right here at home! A sweet and lemony batter studded with white chocolate chunks and crunchy turbinado topping make a perfect excuse to stay in and linger at the breakfast table just a little longer.
Chocolate & peanut butter: undoubtedly one of the best duos EVER! This cookie has a soft, peanut butter-based dough, rich cocoa powder, crispy peanut butter candies and is dotted with sweet mini peanut butter cups. All that goodness, yet it’s not too sweet! Perfect with a cold glass of milk, after school or after dinner. Or for breakfast, if I’m being honest!
Light and cake-like, but not too sweet; perfumed with bright orange zest, warm nutmeg and spicy cardamom... this is a welcome upgrade to a worthy classic!
This old fashioned standard has all the flavor you'd expect to find in a quick bread but is just as tender and satisfying as the best layer cakes. It's packed with four bananas, ensuring that unmistakable flavor, then slathered with a luxurious but classic cream cheese frosting. This dessert doesn't need any frills delivered by decorations or piping bags; the cake really just speaks for itself.
After indulging in so many wonderful treats on our vacation, I wanted to make something just as fantastic for my family once we returned home (and back to reality). We didn't have much on hand but I knew I could whip up a batch of yummy scones by the time a pot of coffee finished brewing. The freshly squeezed lemon juice in both the batter and glaze make these light and tender scones remarkable!
These butterscotch oatmeal cookies win over just about any cookie lover with its crispy exterior and chewy inside; without a raisin, nut or chocolate chip in sight. Plus, they have a little added crunch and caramel flavor from the toffee bits. It's the sprinkling of sea salt on top that really seals the deal though!
Perfection in pie form! We ate slice after slice for three days; every bite was as delightful as the first. Velvety tart filling on a mildly sweet shortbread crust that made everyone smile with satisfaction. Meyer Lemons are truly the star of the citrus family!
