Toffee Apple Pie Bars

Having raw pie pastry in the fridge could be even more dangerous for me than having raw cookie dough around. Um.. Yum. Today when I was at work at the cupcake shop, they were baking apples for their toffee apple cupcake. And the smell wafting out of the oven throughout the little shop was just ridiculously fantastic. I was like a puppy, sniffing at the oven trying catch another whiff … Continue reading →

Cinnamon Bun Muffins

Breakfast this morning was delicious. DE-licious. Quick and easy, these cinnamon bun muffins are great. They actually taste like cinnamon buns, too. And they smell FAN-tastic. I spend a lot of my spare time reading through baking blogs. Most of the time when I see recipes I like, I just bookmark them for later and make them whenever I remember. Occasionally, recipes loudly scream “Make me now!”. This was one … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’d like you to meet my peanut butter filled chocolate chip cookies. They are thick, gooey chocolate chip cookies filled with a layer of peanut butter. I was inspired after making Nutella filled cookies. Balls of cookie dough are flattened and rolled around tiny scoops of cold peanut butter. As they bake the cookies and the peanut butter spread so the peanut butter becomes a flat layer within the cookie. … Continue reading →

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies. GIANT chocolate chip cookies. These are HUGE. 100g (4 oz) of delicious dough makes up each cookie. I’ve seen versions of these cookies, which are attempts at the Levain Bakery recipe, on a few different blogs and thought I’d give them a go. Levain cookies are apparently fantastic, and I’d love to go back to New York and try them. But for now, its homemade for me. … Continue reading →

Healthy Maple Walnut Apple Crumble

I used to love breakfast. Every morning I would have two slices of white bread, toasted and slathered in butter and Vegemite. Every morning. For about 10 years. Until I realised that white bread and copious amounts of butter are the devil when it comes to my hips. Since then, I have lost interest in breakfast, purely because I don’t know what to have. All toast is boring without lots … Continue reading →

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

These are the easiest things you will ever make. Seriously. They have three ingredients. Yes, you read right. Three. You mix everything together in a bowl with a spoon, then you roll the dough into balls and 10 minutes later you have hot cookies. See? Easiest things ever. These cookies are flourless. Huh? Yeah I know. When I first saw the recipe I was like “What? How do they stick … Continue reading →

Tiramisu

I don’t like tiramisu. But that’s because I don’t really like anything cream-filled or anything that has the texture of cream. Everyone (except me) loves my mum’s tiramisu though, so it must be pretty good. It is my dad’s absolute favourite and it was his birthday the other day so we made it for him. My mum has been making this tiramisu for years. The recipe was given to her … Continue reading →

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I may have said before that it blows my mind how many different chocolate chip cookie recipes there are out there. How they all have the teeny tiniest differences between them. And how they all turn up so differently. Well, the recipe for these cookies is scarily similar to these other ones. Scarily similar. The only difference is two tablespoons of oil and a little baking powder. But the cookies … Continue reading →

Salted Chocolate Shortbread

There were a bunch of things I wanted to bake yesterday. I couldn’t decide between two of them. So I decided to bake both! I went into the kitchen, pulled out the heavy stand mixer, got out all my ingredients and went to the fridge to get some eggs. And there were no eggs. Something you may not know about me is that I’m pretty lazy. I’d rather not bake … Continue reading →

Homemade Muesli Bars

A girlfriend of mine came over for coffee yesterday and it was early enough for it to be considered breakfast time. And we are both trying to be healthy. So I made muesli (or granola) bars. They were delicious. Thick and chewy and filled with all my favourite muesli filling. Perfect with a coffee. I have great plans when I make things like muesli bars. Great plans. I plan to … Continue reading →
