• pig biscotti (pigscotti)

  

  Greetings! Happy Almost Spring! I love this time of year, mainly because the weather is really mild here in the Pacific Northwest; the heat is not here yet, but the days are not too short, either. I had just a handful of hazelnuts left (I seem to always have just a handful of them left, […]

• chocolate hazelnut nutella muffins 

  

  I decided to keep things simple, as a muffin recipe should be. So that’s the rationale for keeping this blog post short too. You know what to do when mixing a muffin recipe. You mix the wet and the dry separately, then combine them. Easy-peasy, right? 🙂 Plus, even when I messed up prior workings […]

• pear hazelnut and chocolate muffins

  

  Just a simple muffin recipe to showcase the wonderful combination of pear, hazelnuts, and chocolate! Feel free to use larger chocolate chips. I can’t even remember what I made last that necessitated buying a bag of these mini chocolate chips, but I think they work very well here; the smaller chips get distributed more evenly […]

• hazelnut candy cap sandies

  

  We recently made a trip to the Oregon Coast. Over the last few years, except for 2020, we’ve been consistently only going to two cities along the coast–Astoria and Seaside.  One of the things I noticed this time around was a tourist shop that sells dried mushrooms, among the usual touristy stuff like t-shirts and […]

• malted hazelnut coffee cake

  

  The brown butter, hazelnuts, and coffee extract all complement the malted milk flavor very well in both the cake and the streusel topping. This can be enjoyed by itself as a snack, or if you want to get real decadent, top with a scoop of French vanilla bean ice cream. I made this for Ben […]

• no bake coffee nutella pie!

  

  What business does a baking blog have making “no bake” items? Well, it has nutella and coffee, so…does anyone really care? 😉 It’s no bake, except for the crust, but no big deal. 10 minutes in the oven is all you need for the crust. You can probably even skip that, but putting it in […]

• brown butter pear hazelnut cakelets

  

  Bosc Pears!!! Bosc pears are….well…hard to transport in a backpack. Especially when they are perfectly ripe. Don’t. Unless you don’t mind the skins of the particularly ripe ones coming off and causing some of the flesh and juices to seep out into your backpack! I speak from experience. Still, once I got home, I ate […]
