The New Year is nearly upon us, so it’s time for my annual round up of the best things I’ve made this year. When I went through my records, I realized I made a lot of amazing things that I had forgotten about. Get your oven ready, because things are about to get pretty delicious!
The Best Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
It’s my New Year’s Day tradition to make some kind of super yummy cinnamon roll and these definitely fit the bill. They are huge, soft and pillowy, and smothered in cream cheese frosting.
Use carob, use chocolate, whatever. Just make sure you make this cake. It’s rich cake with fluffy buttercream, pudding, and cake crumbs. Is your mouth watering yet???
It’s rare to have a brownie recipe that doesn’t include chocolate that really provides that dense, gooey texture, but these brownies do it with flair and a punch of citrus.
These gems are easy to make and gluten free. They melt in your mouth and combine two of my favorite ingredients: peanut butter and marshmallow.
These super fudgy cookies are loaded with chips and practically the size of my head.
Full of bing, sour, and rainier cherries and topped with an irresistible oatmeal topping, I may or may not have eaten this for breakfast more than once. Hey, I said it had oatmeal. Top it with ice cream … it’s just like milk 🙂
Call it a pie or a cookie or a cobbler. I don’t care. I just want it again with juicy peaches and a gooey cookie like topping.
This may be super healthy and gluten and dairy free, but it’s also amazing. It’s my favorite breakfast and I’ve made it more times than I can count.
I had never made a crumb pie and this recipe made me ask myself one thing: why did I wait this long? With flaky crust and a buttery crumb, this pie has the best of both worlds.
Not only do I love this cake and frosting, but it was so creative and so much fun to make. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and got me excited to draw on another cake. Any requests?
Now I’m ready to get baking for 2016!
