It seems that sometimes, a blondie is just all you need. I would argue that blondies are far more versatile than brownies. While brownies are delicious, it’s unchangeable that the dominant flavor will be chocolate, and any flavor pairings must be willing to let chocolate take center stage. But with blondies, you can do so…
Rye Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently saw some Rye Chocolate Chip cookies at a bakery, and was reminded how much I enjoy them when I’ve had them in the past. So I impulse bought some rye flour and decided I would make some myself. I got one once or twice from the coffee shop down the street from my…
GF Banana Blueberry Muffins
These Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Muffins with coffee cake topping are a perfect brunch crowd pleaser. There’s something for everyone – a banana bread base, blueberries for people who like fruit, and the coffee cake crumble topping for those who want something a bit sweeter. I suppose they don’t appease the crowd who like double…
GF Brown Butter Blondies (with chocolate and peanut butter chips!)
I recently start a full-time bootcamp, studying UX Design. I’ve been going downtown every day as if it were going into an office, and have been learning a lot and doing lots of work (we’ve just started working with clients!). My class is pretty small, with only 6 of us. It’s a great size to…
Cinnamon Roll Blondies
I had the idea for these cinnamon roll blondies recently, but they were such a good idea that I had to check and see whether I had had the idea before. It turns out, I had! But, I made them in my brother’s kitchen during my freshman year of college and didn’t have the best…
Banana Chocolate Swirl Blondies
So these Banana Chocolate Swirl Blondies were sort of an accident/experiment, and they turned out better than I expected. I made some “banana fudge cookies” that were supposed to be healthy – they were just almond butter, banana, and cocoa powder- and they were delicious. But not super satisfying as a dessert, you know? Like,…
Brown Butter S’mores Bars
September is a tough month for me. Not to be dramatic, but it’s basically a month of disappointed dreams. The onset of September conjures up visions of pristinely sharped pencils and unmarked new notebooks, walking home from the bus stop in shoes that are still being broken in while a few stray golden-orange leaves blow…
Brownie Doctor: Brown Butter Frosting Brownies
One of Audrey and my favorite shows is Parks and Recreation. (Fitting since we’re from Indiana, where the show takes place!) Two of the characters in the show spend one day every year treating themselves. They treat themselves to mimosas, massages, shopping, cupcakes… If you spend much time on the Internet, you’ve probably encountered their…
