The only State Fair category for oatmeal cookies is “Oatmeal cookies with no mix-ins.” Which seems crazy to me! Oatmeal cookies are all about the mix-ins! It’s always oatmeal raisin, and then having oatmeal chocolate chip seems so next level. But without mix-ins, you do really need to think about that dough. So, naturally… I…
Muesli Banana Bread
When I was in Iceland, I went to Brauð & co. for their world famous cinnamon rolls, and was very easily tempted by their caramel muesli bun. It was stand-out incredible. Making muesli into streusel is just one of those things that feels so obvious… Like, of course this oat-y cereal should be a streusel….
(Just a few) Black Sesame Monster Cookies
Like I said a few posts ago, I’m in black sesame mode for a few bakes here, to use up some of my black sesame butter. My sister made some delicious monster cookie bars the other day, so when I was thinking of ways to use up the black sesame butter, monster cookies were top…
Apple Butter Cheesecake Crumble Bars
Apple butter is going to be the name of the game here for a few posts. I hope you’re all okay with that. It’s an obsession of mine and I’ve been feeling inspired to use it in a few ways. For this recipe, I was thinking it might pair well with some of the miso…
Peanut Butter Maple Chip Scones
With my lifetime of baking, there are a lot of recipes that I think back on and remember loving. But also with all those memories of recipes, I sometimes second guess whether they were as good as I remember. These scones are one of those second guesses. I remember being obsessed with them when I…
Carrot Cake Smoothie
Surprise, surprise, I had to do another carrot drink, because I have these glasses, and I bought a lot of carrot juice. As much as I like carrots, I’m not drinking carrot juice plain. So why not make it in to a smoothie? That’s got the same spices as carrot cake? Delicious way to start…
Banana Cupcakes with Oatmeal Cookie Frosting
I have been posting regularly again for over a year now, and more than I ever did when we started it. (It’s amazing how much time you can find in a day when you’re not doing high school homework or trapped in LA traffic!) But I’ve gotten pretty lazy about maintenance and admin things. Molly…
PB&J Monster Cookies
Sometimes I feel like the grocery store is out of control. And I’m not just talking about prices. I’m talking about the number of items available. Companies just will not stop coming up with things. In the past week alone, I’ve seen Cinnamon Toast Crunch Hershey Kisses, Butterbeer Goldfish, bunny-shaped Reese’s Puffs, and PB&J M&Ms….
