Read MoreHalloween Amaretti Cookies
I’ve taken Amaretti cookies and turned them into a lightened up version that also happens to be seasonal to Fall! They’re lightened up easily with a simple swap of half of the sugar for natural sweetener. I prefer to use a stevia or monk fruit sweetener. The important thing here is that the sweetener should measure cup-for-cup like sugar. Other than that, feel free to use whichever you prefer.
The only real thing I did here to make them ‘Halloween’ was the sprinkles that I used. So honestly, you could swap out sprinkles for other seasonal colors and themes to change these cookies up! These also call for cake batter extract, which can be tricky to find in some places. If you don’t have it and can’t find it, no big deal, just use some vanilla extract instead!…
Read MoreLightened-Up Giant Cookie Cake
Back when I started all this 'Skinny Fork' madness, my kiddo was just a little 3-year-old tot. Now she's at the end of 6th grade. One thing that hasn't changed through the years, has been that I always, every year for her birthday, make some sort of rainbow funfetti style magic treat.
Yep! It's true. I've made birthday cake cinnamon rolls, fairy bites, and cake batter cookies. Just to name a few. This year though? She's all about chocolate chip cookies and cookie cakes. So, when I saw this chocolate chip cookie pizza, I knew I had to healthify that bad boy up as much as I could for the big weekend ahead of us!…
Read MoreBirthday Cake 'Cake Batter' Waffles
To say that these waffles were a hit this week would be a vast understatement. I had originally made these waffles some years ago and just this week decided that it was high time to revisit them with my new waffle maker, and I was not disappointed - and neither was my daughter. She’s been a bit of a waffle fiend lately, and being as she’s one of the most picky eaters I’ve ever known, I was a little concerned that she would turn her nose up at these. But, she didn’t!
These waffles turn out light and fluffy and perfectly soft. The batter makes quite a few waffles, even with using a full cup of batter for these with my giant Belgian waffles, I got 7 of these bad boys…
Read MoreHealthified Cosmic Brownies
So… I’ve been missing for 3 days now. I live in Texas and in case you didn’t hear the news, the entire state was basically without power for the most of this past week - during some of the coldest weather we’ve had in decades. It wasn’t fun. On top of being without power, we were also put on a ‘boil water’ notice. Anyone know how to boil water when you don’t have power? It’s tricky.
Thankfully, my home got it’s power back yesterday morning. And we’re (so far) one of the few houses to have both heat AND running water for the time being. I’m still being cautious with how much electricity being used as we try and keep the grid stable, but as soon as the lights and heat came on, I was ready to get baking. Nothing much is more comforting than chocolate. And these Healthified Cosmic Brownies are chocolate on top of chocolate and rainbow bits!…
Read MoreCircus Animal Cookie Blondies
If you love blondies and you love circus animal cookies then you are going to go nuts over these Circus Animal Cookie Blondies! Blondies are basically a vanilla (non-chocolate) version of brownies. So they’re a bit more dense and moist than cake.
These blondies are super easy to make and are whipped up all in one bowl. Plus, look at how colorful they are! With circus animal cookies baked right in, they have that frosted cookie crunch among the sprinkles and blondie. It’s basically heaven on a plate for me since circus animal cookies are one of my favorite guilty pleasures…
