Chocolate Espresso Banana Bread [Gluten Free]

Instagram is funny. You “meet” people through sharing recipes and supporting each other with a simple like and comment. And sometimes you meet people who just so happen live in your building and who you went to college with, but didn’t realize.

That was the case with Isabelle over at Good Get Feelings. I was obsessed with her health and wellness and positive energy content from the start, and became even more obsessed when I tried her Chocolate Brownie banana bread. This Chocolate espresso banana bread is my version of her recipe that I made after realizing I had way too many espresso morsels on my hand to use.

Chocolate Walnut Brownie Pie

Clearly I’ve been on a baking kick lately with all of my free time at home given the current quarantine situation due to COVID-19. I have some more new baked good recipes up my sleeve coming soon. But, in the meantime, please enjoy this SUPER easy, semi-homemade Chocolate Walnut Brownie Pie recipe that I’m realizing I have yet to make an official post for (but has been a hit on Instagram).

We get a little help from Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix for this recipe, and no I do not consider that cheating. I more so consider it just being extremely resourceful 😉

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Rice Krispie Treats

Sometimes you just want a quick treat that doesn’t require much time or ingredients. And for me, making Rice Krispies in the microwave has always been that go to treat. And yes, we use the microwave with these because it helps cut down on dishes. Win win.

And when I saw a tub of Nestle’s newest product, the edible cookie dough, I just knew that would be the perfect addition to elevate my go-to treat.

Caramelized Banana Cinnamon Chip Muffins

When it comes to baking recipe staples, banana bread is pretty high up there. We’ve all been faced at one point or another with needing to do something with some overripe bananas, or if you’re like me, buy extra bananas each week to ensure I have some leftover to bake with.

Because there are probably millions of banana bread recipes on the internet, I wanted to something slightly different to set mine apart. Taking the time to caramelize the bananas in these caramelized banana bread cinnamon chip muffins is KEY. Not only that, but I stray away from the standard chocolate chips and opt for cinnamon chips.

Iced Orange Poppy Seed Loaf

You know the iced lemon loaf from Starbucks? Well, this orange poppy seed loaf is a unique spin on that. And if I’m being honest, it’s better than the original.

I got the inspo after watching my girl Ina Garten make her lemon yogurt cake on Food Network (literally the only other channel I watch besides Bravo) and swooning over how dense and moist the result was. I couldn’t help but think of the Starbucks version, but wanted to put my own twist on it.

“Campfire Chewies” – Chewy Hot Chocolate Oat Cookies with Marshmallows and Grahams

I was on a mission to create a chewy cookie recipe, but also wanted to deviate from the classics. I mean, don’t get me wrong. There is for sure a time and place for the classics like a chocolate chip or an oatmeal raisin. But for sake of this post, I experimented with a new favorite (and possibly surprising) pantry item. Hot chocolate packets.

And not just any hot chocolate packets. I made sure I used the ones packed with mini marshmallows. That, combined with some molasses and dark brown sugar, really do make the ultimate chewy cookie.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Brownies [with a salted pretzel crust]

When I think of Valentine’s Day, I’m pretty sure I can speak for all of us when I say that chocolate covered strawberries always comes to mind.

Well, that and just chocolate in general. And, what’s more classic than a chocolate covered pretzel AND a chocolate covered strawberry? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
