Vanilla Bean Cake Doughnuts with Chocolate and Toasted Coconut

 

As I was watching the news the other night they began to speak about cravings.

Oh, cravings.

And what to do about cravings…how do you supress them?

Well, I have just the solution for ya – eat what you’re craving. Easy. They should’ve had me on the news to solve their “issue”, sheesh.

I however, see no issue here. We can all treat ourselves to a little somethin-somethin here and there. It’s not like we’re eating this stuff for breakfast. Err…okay, not always.

Cranberry Orange Bliss Bars

Pin It

I am begging you to make these.

You’re simply missing out if you don’t.

These were heavenly. Decadent. Outstanding.

I stumbled across them on Recipe Girl’s blog…

This is what happened after I read her post:

I bee-lined it to Target for cream cheese and eggs.

Don’t you hate when you have almost all the ingredients to a recipe!? That’s how I end up at the store, daily.

They are basically a blondie bar topped with an amazing white chocolate cream cheese (with a hint of orange zest) frosting.

Banana-nana-Bread

  

 

 

Well…here we go again, another awesome recipe. Ever since the creation of this blog – with all the ideas being shared and published, my official new nicknames are either Sara Lee or Betty Crocker…I guess that’s not a bad thing, right!?  

As this bread was baking, the smell that filled the air was unbelievable…I experienced insta-hunger! I couldn’t even wait for the bread to completely cool (ok…or cool at all) before I stuffed a piece down. And another one after that… I think I may have a problem. An addiction – or better yet, let’s just call it an appreciation.

 Yes – I realize this isn’t a traditional “banana bread loaf” shape – but it worked! And very well at that…

2 1/4 cups Flour

1 package (16oz) Vanilla CANDIQUIK

3 ripe bananas

½ cup butter

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

2 eggs

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

        

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Grease a 9×5 loaf pan

In a large bowl mix flour, baking soda, and salt together

In another bowl mix melted CANDIQUIK, butter, eggs, and mashed bananas

Stir banana mixture into the flour mix until moistened (add nuts if desired) and pour the batter into the loaf pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean

Allow bread to cool slightly before serving… if you can wait!
