Fudgie Brownies

We are team fudgie, center cut brownies at our house. While our favorite recipe of all time is Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies, these are a lot less work and slay those weeknight chocolate cravings. 
We swapped half the sugar for Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener - 1:1 White Sugar Substitute, Zero Calorie, Keto Diet Friendly, Zero Net Carbs, Zero Glycemic, Baking, Extract, Sugar Replacement (Classic White - 1 Pound) to save on a few calories and cut a bit of the sugar out. (It's January so we are trying to be a little healthier with our diet.) This post may contain affiliate links. See full disclosure statement here.

Makes 16 brownies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, melted

1 cup white sugar

1 c monk fruit sweetener (or use white sugar if you prefer)

2 eggs

1 tbs vanilla extract

2 tsp espresso powder

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 C chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 350. Line a 13x9 pan with parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, stir together melted butter and sugar until combined. Add in eggs, vanilla and espresso powder. Next mix in flour and cocoa powder. When almost combined add chocolate chips. You could add in some nuts here as well. Whatever your chocolate loving heart desires. 💕

Spread mixture into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes. 


Let cool 10 minutes, or more if you can control yourself. Use parchment paper to remove from pan and cut into rectangles.

Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger Cake Makeover

My grandmother made Harvey Wallbanger cake at every family function for as long as I can remember. Birthdays, holiday parties, anytime we'd all get together this cake would be at the center of the table, but after grandma passed away and I became more conscientious of the ingredients that we were eating I stopped making the cake. It her version was made with yellow cake mix vanilla pudding mix which both contained artificial colors and flavors and oftentimes palm oil which I'm allergic to. For a few years I've been trying to find a recipe that matched what I remembered from Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger cake but was unable to find it from scratch recipe that really seemed to hit the mark. Finally I've come up with a recipe that matches the taste and texture of my grandma's Harvey Wallbanger recipe but without any of the artificial ingredients that they put in cake mixes and putting mixes now. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients:  1 3/4 C Sugar 3/4 tsp Sal...

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

We had a big box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I wanted to use for a Rice Krispies treats type of dessert but hadn't gotten to it yet. The only acceptable way to eat cereal in my opinion is straight out of the box. But the others in my house like milk and cereal so I wanted to develop a cupcake with a frosting tasted like the milk, and cake that tasted like the cereal with bits of the cereal on top. I got good feedback while testing this recipe. It's overall not crazy sweet so it could be considered an acceptable breakfast. The cake itself is very dense but the frosting is very light and buttery.  Makes 16 Cake: 2 c. All-purpose Flour 1/3 c. Granulated Sugar 1/2 C Brown Sugar 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 2 tsp. ground Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Salt 3/4 c. (1 1/2 stick) softened Butter  1 c. Milk 1 large Egg 2 tsp. Vanilla extract Frosting: 1/2 C Nonfat Milk powder 1 1/2 sticks of Butter, softened 1 C Powdered Sugar 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract (don't over measure or it will tast...
