Brown Butter Pecan Pie Bars

I love pecan desserts and so naturally these pecan pie bars caught my attention. The crust reminds me a lot of a shortbread. You start by browning the butter, mixing it with the other crust ingredients, pressing it into the bottom of the pan, and baking. For the topping, you’ll mix together the butter, brown…

Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies

This recipe reminded me of a Kentucky Derby Pie (one of my favorites!) so I knew I wanted to try it. This recipe is a little time consuming to keep that in mind. First you’ll want to brown the pecans. We only have whole pecans so we had to chop those and then brown them.…

Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins

I think blueberry muffins are one of my favorites and I’m always looking to try new recipes. This one looked good because it uses brown butter, which is always yummy! First you need to brown the butter as it needs to sit in the fridge for 20 minutes. While the steps don’t mention how to…

Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookie

It’s been a while since I made something gluten-free, so I found these flourless brownie cookies and thought I’d give them a shot. Gluten-free baking has gotten easier, but it’s always nice (in my opinion) when you can find naturally gluten-free recipes. This recipe is super simple and you basically just throw together all of…

Pumpkin Roll

I have not been having good luck with these jellyroll cakes. I had a whole other recipe I was going to make that didn’t work. When I pulled the cake out you could see chunks of flour that never got mixed (likely due to me being too gentle in folding) and I had to dump…

Chocolate Swiss Roll

I have never been good at making jellyroll cakes, but figured I should try a few more just to see if it gets better. First up on the list, this Chocolate Swiss Roll cake! The cake takes a few steps starting with melting the chocolate, oil, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt. I don’t really have…

Lemon Blueberry Cake Roll

Jelly roll cakes look so fun, but they make me nervous because there’s quite a few things that can go wrong. I don’t know if it’s just self punishment or what, but I decided to do a whole month of jelly roll cakes so here goes…. The cake itself was easy to make and one…

Banana Pudding Cheesecake

I love banana pudding and I love cheesecake; but I wasn’t sure what to expect with this Banana Pudding Cheesecake. The recipe itself isn’t necessarily difficult, but it is quite time consuming. You’ll start by making your own vanilla wafer crust. Crush some vanilla wafers and mix in butter and sugar – then bake. As…

Bananas Foster

I’ve actually never had Bananas Foster before and since I enjoy setting desserts on fire I thought it might be fun to try. Plus, it’s super easy and quick! Basically you just cook the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt – cooking this until the butter melts. Then you’ll add the bananas and banana liquor…

Peanut Butter Banana Icebox Pie

I am not normally a peanut butter dessert fan, but I’ve been trying to find banana recipes so this one fit the bill. The crust is easy to make as it’s just crushed graham crackers, crushed honey roasted peanuts, and melted butter. I like the just crush my graham crackers in the sleeve so it’s…
