Soft pumpkin pudding cookies are packed with sweet butterscotch and cinnamon chips to make these easy cookies a fall favorite!
Hello there friends! This is Zainab again from Blahnik Baker. It’s been a while since I shared a recipe with you so I brought these pumpkin butterscotch pudding cookies! Nothing says “Hello! I’m here!” better than a plate of warm spiced pumpkin cookies in my books. Am I right?
Hello OSSS readers, this is Zainab from Blahnik Baker stopping in with another recipe today! I hope you all had a great summer. I can’t believe we are saying that already meaning summer is winding down. I’m sure most of you already have kids that are back in school and the new school year schedule is just starting to kick in. Or they are about to start next week after Labor Day weekend. Unbelievable how this particular summer flew by. I hope you got to do everything on your summer bucket list!!
I’m trying to get used to the new rhythm of school too as I start my last year of graduate school. It’s called fast-paced life and now more than ever I am in dire need of quick, nutritious and energy boosting breakfasts to keep up with my demanding days. I am sure most of you can relate to this. That’s why I always love reaching for smoothies. They are one of my favorite ways to get more fruits in my diet but with so many add-in possibilities, I can increase the nutritious value beyond just fresh fruits.
This black raspberry smoothie has a secret ingredient high in protein but low in fat. Can you guess what it is??
Hello OSSS friends…it’s Zainab from Blahnik Baker here again to share with you a delicious, sweet, raspberry lemon bread recipe.
This raspberry lemon bread is made with white whole wheat flour and hazelnut flour. The nutty flavor and texture of hazelnuts are incredible with fresh raspberries. The amount of oil used is less than most recipes out there and this uses Greek yogurt for added moisture. This summer bread is everything a great sweet bread should be; so moist, crumbly and delicious. The lemon glaze to go with it is just the perfect added tang.
Hello again!! Zainab here from Blahnik Baker. I am so happy to be back to share a recipe with you guys since it’s been a while! These coconut lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting were the talk of our last BBQ and I couldn’t wait to bring them to you hoping you will give them a try!
Since it is officially summer now (yay!!!), how is your summer going? I hope you are enjoying it! I decided this summer to try to do new things and I’ve been exploring our city in new ways. No more malls and shopping trips to run away from the heat. Instead, we are doing more outdoor activities like visiting the zoo that don’t always require an entire day out in the sun. Or visiting a nearby waterfall park that will involve playing in the water to cool down. What are some of your summer plans? Any bucket list activities?
We are also attending a lot of barbeques and picnics with friends and family. For some reason, everyone seems to be throwing a picnic but it’s fun to attend these parties especially to catch up with people you haven’t seen in a while. Being the baker in the family, I am always bringing some sort of baked treat and these cupcakes were my last creation.
Hi everyone! This is Zainab from Blahnik Baker. I am so happy to be sharing another fun recipe with you today. How’s your April been? I hope you are having a great start of spring as we welcome the warm weather finally. It’s been a little busy with the end of the school year for me but I am very excited for summer to come! Today, I am bringing you a new favorite spring-inspired, yet classic cake. Coconut is my all time favorite flavor but if we are being honest here, I am a fan of all things tropical; mango, coconut, pineapple, kiwi you name it. So whenever spring rolls around and the weather starts warming up, I start craving these flavors, especially coconut. If you look at my recipe index over at Blahnik Baker, you will see this slight obsession 🙂 But I can’t help it. I blame coconut for being a perfect match for so many things. Like this chocolate coconut pound cake that highlights the wonderful combination of creamy coconut with the decadence of chocolate.
Hi everyone!! This is Zainab from Blahnik Baker again. I’m very excited to be back here sharing another recipe with you. Happy Spring!! Is it Spring where you are yet? I am in Upstate NY, meaning it’s going to be a few more weeks before we get there. But that is not stopping me from enjoying everything lemon already.
I love making cupcakes and experimenting with new flavors. Today, I brought with me my new favorite cupcakes; caramel brulée latte cupcakes!! I’m sure most of you are familiar with the Starbucks holiday favorite Caramel Brulée Latte. Like many people, I really look forward to its arrival and it is one of my favorite holiday drinks (the peppermint mocha holds first place!). However, these lattes are only here for a few short weeks. It’s been my mission to recreate them into cupcakes so I can enjoy them year round. I shared my peppermint mocha cupcakes a few months ago and today I’ve created a cupcake with all the delicious flavors that make the caramel brulee latte everyone’s favorite.
Hi everyone, I’m Zainab the baker behind Blahnik Baker. I’m so excited to be sharing with you this peanut butter chocolate banana chip granola recipe as a new contributor here on OSSS! But before we talk about food, I should probably tell you a little bit about myself.
I’m a newly wed graduate student who is teaching herself her way around making delicious desserts and treats! I didn’t grow up baking like most people and had never baked before attempting to make a V-day cake for my then-fiance a few years ago. It was not the prettiest but he loved it 🙂 Since that disastrous first cake making experience, I’ve been on a mission to teach myself the basics of baking and decorating. That’s how I fell in love with baking and making special treats for my friends and family.
During the day, I work on my PhD in Neuroscience and in my spare time/weekends, I’m a bake-a-holic and shoe-a-holic! I love making easy, simple to assemble yet beautiful everyday desserts. But why am I telling you about all the desserts I make and here sharing a healthy granola? Well, while I would love to be eating cupcakes and cakes for every meal, I don’t. I try to balance my diet with healthier recipes, like this peanut butter granola, for most meals so I can indulge later.
