Chewy Cinnamon Pecan Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies

June 10, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

Chewy Cinnamon Pecan Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies have nutty, caramel flavor notes and a lovely balance of chewy and crispy textures.

I went through a phase where I loved chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I’d add just a pinch of cinnamon (because it’s a classic addition to oatmeal cookies), and use extra brown sugar to give the cookies caramel notes. With a little flaky sea salt sprinkled on top (like my Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies), they had a balanced flavor profile and were completely addictive.…

Easter Cookies with Robin Eggs Candy and Toasted Coconut

April 8, 2019 by Faith Leave a Comment

Easter Cookies with Robin Eggs Candy and Toasted Coconut are crispy outside and chewy inside. They have delicious malted chocolate, toasted coconut, vanilla sugar cookie flavor. Just like candy canes at Christmas, after Easter you’ll probably have leftover Robin Eggs candy. This easy drop cookie recipe puts it to good use! Paired with toasted coconut and vanilla sugar cookies, the malted chocolate flavor of Robin Eggs is delicious here. But you don’t have to wait until after Easter to make them. These cookies are a lovely addition to your springtime holiday dessert table....

March 4, 2019 by Faith 2 Comments

This Fudgy Guinness Brownies with Dark Chocolate Ganache Recipe features rich, honey-sweetened chocolate brownies to balance out the flavor of stout. They’re topped with a velvety layer of dark chocolate ganache to take them to the next level. Guinness isn’t just for drinking, and it’s not only for savory soups and stews! Guinness is a dry Irish stout that has rich brown color and coffee and caramel flavor notes thanks to roasted barley. It pairs really beautifully with a lot of baked goods, especially chocolate cakes and brownies....

Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

February 4, 2019 by Faith 5 Comments

My Small Batch Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick and chewy with rich buttery flavor, hints of caramel and vanilla, and topped with a touch of flaky sea salt to create a balanced flavor profile. And they were made with love to support a very important cause: Good Cookies Food Bloggers’ Valentines Event organized by Julie! I’m pretty excited about today’s post, not only because of the cookies (that goes without saying), but mostly because of what these cookies are supporting. My dear friend Julie from The Little Kitchen (check out her blog because it’s absolutely beautiful!) organized an event called the Good Cookies […]...

Gingerbread Caramel Candy (Homemade Chewy Caramel Recipe No Corn Syrup)

December 17, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Gingerbread Caramel Candy is a fun festive spin on soft and chewy caramel candy. If you’re looking for homemade soft and chewy caramel recipe with no corn syrup, this is the recipe for you and it’s easier to make than you might think! I have a family member who is absolutely crazy about my homemade soft and chewy caramels (I won’t mention names to protect the innocent, but she’s a certain 15-year-old sugar fiend, lol), which I usually only make during the holidays as a special treat. This year I decided to spice things up with Gingerbread Caramel Candy! This aromatic soft and chewy caramel […]...

Healthy Snickers Protein Bars (Low Carb)

December 3, 2018 by Faith 6 Comments

My low carb Healthy Snickers Protein Bars feature a protein-rich nougat layer topped with homemade keto caramel (don’t worry, it’s easy to make!) and peanuts, and are coated in rich, dark chocolate. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who hasn’t tried a Snickers candy bar. Further, I can’t remember anyone telling me that they didn’t like Snickers! It’s a great combination of flavors and textures, which is why it was a top choice for me when I was trying to decide what kind of homemade protein bar I wanted to make....

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (Tastes Like Healthy Peanut Butter Pie!)

September 10, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding tastes like healthy peanut butter pie, but is nourishing enough to enjoy for breakfast. I still remember the first time I had peanut butter pie; truthfully, it was by no means healthy peanut butter pie! This wasn’t a pie I grew up with; my mom was an apple and pumpkin pie maker, so I was an adult the first time I had it. I was in college at the time, and it was at a chain diner, I think Perkins, if I’m not mistaken, or maybe it was Denny’s. I remember thinking, Oh wow, that’s what I’ve been missing […]...

Healthy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe (No Ice Cream Maker)

August 27, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

This Healthy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe puts summer cherries to perfect use when you want a nourishing sweet treat. The best part is, no ice cream maker required! I’ve always been a chocolate girl when it comes to dessert. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that my usual motto is that if a sweet treat doesn’t have chocolate, it just isn’t worth it. I have branched out a little, realizing the deliciousness in things like a creamy coconut custard, butter toffee shortbread cookies, and classic flavor combinations like peanut butter and jelly made into crumble bars....

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake

May 7, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Strawberry Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake features rich and buttery cake with a hint of vanilla aroma and strawberry flavor; you can customize it with any kind of fruit jam you like! Even though I eat low-carb most of the time, I always enjoy baking. Spending an afternoon in the kitchen watching ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs cohesively meld into something beautiful and delicious is like magic (or if you want to realistic, it’s chemistry, lol). When I have houseguests I always try to get in as much baking as I can, not only to feed them well (I’ve been told I feed people […]...
