Banoffee banana bundt cakes
Adorable banana bundt cakes topped with creamy caramel, sliced bananas and hazelnuts. These were so cute, cute enough that I never even got to taste one!!! They were all gone within a few minutes so I guess they were pretty good. I’m always looking for new ways to re-invent the classic banana loaf and so […]
Chocolate Brownie Almond Chunk Cookies
Another week, another scrumptious cookie recipe. In all honesty I actually made these cookies a month ago and freezed the remaining dough so I’d have a fresh batch whenever the craving came about.
