Peanut Butter S’mores Bars
Getting this one in just under the wire (before summer is over). Summer is traditionally the high season for s’mores, though I think fall, with its campfire-y vibes, is just as good a time to enjoy this iconic treat. However, I propose we make s’mores a year-long affair. These Peanut Butter S’mores Bars will help us do just that. Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Grahams, and Marshmallows = Heaven in a Bar These bars have all the elements of the campfire treat we all love: graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. But they have one more thing that really takes them over the top: peanut butter! If you’ve never had peanut butter on…

Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Consider this the chocolate chip cookie of the summer. All the things you love about a chocolate chip cookie, just…brighter. Fruitier. Dare I say…sparklier? A party of a cookie that’s just begging to be made into ice cream sandwiches and brought to the beach. Let me introduce you to Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies!

When it’s freeze-dried, the flavor of the fruit is more concentrated…

(Case in point: I have like 10 more chocolate chip cookie recipes on the site already.) This time around, though, there’s a twist: they’re vegan. I’ve been wanting to create a recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies for a while now…since last summer when I discovered the wonder of flax eggs (but more on that in a minute). And since the price of eggs makes me want to start selling my organs, it seemed like a good time. So without further ado, let’s make vegan chocolate chip cookies!…

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Helloooo fall baking season! From now through the end of the year is my FAVORITE time to bake. There are so many great flavors to play with! Right now we have apples, maple, caramel, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pumpkin. Then once the holiday season hits, we add in peppermint and a whole slew of other nostalgic flavors I look forward to all year. This pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe is one that I’ve had for years. It came to me in bread form from a previous roommate, but it’s been so long that I can’t remember who that was (if it was you, let me know!). I tweaked the recipe…
