Pretzel, Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

Chocolate and peanut butter is one of the ultimate flavour combinations. Whoever invented Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups is amazing and will have my love forever. But I was never really into peanut butter (crazy, I know) until I went to visit some relatives in the States a few years ago. It was fall and the trees were amazing shades of red and orange and Halloween was around the corner My … Continue reading →

Easy Nutella Cookies

So I’m really sorry for the recent slow down in my posts. It’s not that I haven’t been baking, necessarily, but more that I seem lost for words. Life the last several weeks has been busy, and when I sit down to write a post, the words just don’t seem to want come out. And I don’t have the time to wait for them, so I close my laptop and … Continue reading →

Walnut Chocolate Chip Bean Brownie Cake

So I fell so absolutely, head over heels in love with these healthy cookie dough balls, that I have since baked them three times, and would happily eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hey, the main ingredients are like, chickpeas and peanuts, so they are like, a healthy protein snack, right? Never mind all the chocolate that’s in there, it gets cancelled out by all the chickpeas. Anyway, so … Continue reading →

Mars Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

My brother is the brain behind these babies. I think I have a new found love for him now. He’s a kid, only 13, in his first year of high school. He has a massive sweet tooth, loves his chocolate and is always asking me to bake him these. Sometimes, he comes up with a brilliant baking idea of his own, like this one. On a recent Sunday afternoon, I … Continue reading →

Chocolate Chip Biscoff Streusel Muffins

I’m well and truly back from my holiday now. Solidly settled in. Which means work. And 5am wake ups. And culinary school. And my bosses (they are identical twins!) have gone overseas, so I have been baking the cupcakes at work every morning. Which means long days. And tiredness. And the snooze button. And a massive morning rush. And no time for breakfast. Or for much at all, really. Not … Continue reading →

Blueberry Custard Pie Bars

Can I tell you a secret? When I first made these bars, I ate a large amount of the unbaked graham cracker crust mixture with a spoon. So the second time I made these bars (because my family and friends ate them so fast the first time I didn’t have time to take any photos), I made extra graham cracker crust mixture just so I could eat it with a … Continue reading →

Biscoff Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

Biscoff Spread. I know I’m a little bit late to jump on the Biscoff bandwagon. But it’s not that I didn’t want to be on the Biscoff bandwagon, it was simply that I can’t buy Biscoff spread in Australia. Because we are at the end of the world, quite literally, so we get everything last. And pay more for it. I eventually found Biscoff cookies here at home, but my … Continue reading →

Brown Butter Lemon Bars

All you Americans out there, especially all those who live in San Francisco, have you been to Tartine? I have been to SF. And the most heartbreaking thing for me is that (as it was pre my “all I want to do is bake” days) I didn’t go to Tartine. I went to some fantastic places like Nopa and Dottie Blue’s, but I was yet to hear about Tartine at … Continue reading →

Brownie Cupcakes with Chocolate Hazelnut Frosting

Cupcakes. I made these a couple of weeks ago. I was feeling like I hadn’t baked anything in ages. And when I did bake, it was a failure (like forgetting half the flour in the filling for a chocolate chip cookie pie. How does that even happen?).  Or it was something I had already made before and couldn’t really blog about again, like these cookies. So it was time to … Continue reading →

Cookie Cake

I love lists. To-do lists, mostly. I write them all the time. They get me through busy times, my day, all my homework and the prep for a trip overseas. I love ticking off the things I need to do, one by one, and watching the list get shorter and shorter, as my freedom gets closer. The satisfaction of finishing everything you needed to do on a list, and then … Continue reading →
