This is my favorite brownie recipe, but fair warning it’s quite dark chocolatey. If you want a slightly sweeter brownie, I’d try using milk chocolate for the melted chocolate chips or adding some granulated sugar (or trying Cheesecake Marble Brownies or Almond Yogurt Chocolate Brownies). These are definitely a bake-ahead brownie too–they’re better the next…
I love Larabars, but I do feel bad about the wrappers being trash and whatnot. So I make my own version with dates, cashews, cocoa powder, and other add-ins. Awesome sources of energy during workouts and also really good snacks. For something crispier, check out my Almond Date Rice Krispies! Total time (not including 2…
Though this cake has a banana in it, it has no banana flavor. Despite this, it’s the perfect sweetness. (And if you just decided you do want some banana flavor, try the Pineapple Upside Down Cake or a Banana Bread). Total time (including baking): 1 hour. Makes 1 bundt pan cake. Materials: 1 mixing bowl;…
I didn’t used to like cheesecake, but this is so good, especially with some jam and berries. It also makes an awesome breakfast. Oh, and it inspired me to make Cheesecake Brownies for the first time! Total time (including baking and some cooling): 2 hours. Makes one 9×9″ springform pan. Materials: 1 mixing bowl; processor;…
It took me two tries to get an edible Pineapple Upside Down Cake and another two tries to get a delicious one. This is very moist and only slightly banana-y (which goes well with the pineapple in my opinion). Preparing the pan with thinly sliced pineapples is one of my favorite parts: Total time (from…
When I first made Cheesecake, I realized I was missing out big time on never having made cheesecake brownies. I also remembered I like raspberry flavor. So here’s what happened… P.S. If you’re looking for a denser, richer take on this brownie, check out my Dense Cheesecake Brownies. Total time (buttering through baking): 1 hour.…
These are good, texturally true brownies (no beans business). You can adjust the sweetness by adding dark or milk chocolate for the melted chocolate and for the additional chocolate chips, or potentially by adding more dates. Total time (buttering through baking): 45 min. Makes one 8×8″ square pan. Materials: 1 mixing bowl; processor; measuring vessels;…
These have a nice soft interior. Their texture is more of a “chocolate dessert” and somewhat mousse-like compared to a “traditional” brownie (similar to the texture of the Sweet Potato Beet Brownies). Really good right out of the refrigerator or warm with ice cream. If you’re looking for a more traditional brownie texture but a…
