Grandmas recipe

Please don't let people saying "baking is a science" keep you from doing it. Tonight I made a cake. I accidentally poured too much milk in, just used the last of the sugar I had in my cupboard which ended up being 12 grams too much, and was almost 20 grams short on cocoa powder. The cake tastes amazing and my husband inhaled his piece in under 30 seconds.

When you are SO obsessed with Good Omens that even your birthday cake must be covered with it 😍😁

See below for the inspiration for this decadent dark chocolate creation 🥰

I always have un-eaten bananas that I don’t want to go bad so I usually make banana bread out of them. And everyone loves my banana bread so it’s usually gone within a day. But I’ve made so many recently that the last couple weeks I’ve just thrown the bananas in the freezer to use some other time.

(Morgan Freeman voice over: Today was that time.)

But I didn’t make banana bread. I decided to do something different and made Banana Nut Blondies … to which I added mini choc chips.

The interesting part is you mix the mashed bananas with brown sugar and granulated sugar and CARMELIZE IT before adding the rest of the blonde ingredients. Squee! My kitchen smelled so damn good.

So I just taste tested a corner piece. Oh my god y’all! New favorite recipe!!!

He’s come so far, I’m kinda proud. 

Also, I made a transcript of the recipe for anyone who might want to try them

Ingredients

sticks of butter, browned

250g brown sugar

150g granulated sugar

2 eggs

the contents of 3 vanilla beans, or up to 3 tablespoons of vanilla extract according to taste

380g, or approx 3 cups, of plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

up to 12oz baker’s choice of chocolate

Baker’s choice of hazelnut spread

pistachio cream

Instructions

Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.

Brown the butter and pour it into a heat proof bowl, then place the bowl in an ice bath and beat it back into a slid but soft creamy form. Beat both sugars into the creamy butter until fluffy.

Beat in the 2 eggs one at a time until the batter is fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla.

Beat in the dry ingredients in 1/3 cups until smooth.

Fold in the chocolate.

Rest the cookie dough in the fridge for at least 12 hours.

Fill the bottom of a large muffin tin with pistachio cream and hazelnut spread and freeze.

After the dough has aged and the disks are solid, cove the frozen disks completely with cookie dough and cover the cookies to rest them in the fridge for another 24 hours.

If you would like taller cookies, freeze the dough portions for 6 hours before placing the frozen cookies directly into oven preheated to 375F.

Turn the trays after 8 minutes of baking for uniform baking and browning. Bake for another 7-8 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool before enjoying.

suggestion:

For best flavor balance, make 2 batches: use milk chocolate with the pistachio cream for the best match of the Dubai Chocolate flavor profile, and pair dark chocolate with the hazelnut spread to balance the sweetness of the hazelnut spread.

Both types of chocolate would probably go very well with peanut butter filling.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to pay close attention to the kind of pistachio spread you buy: if you prefer pure pistachio flavor use pistachio butter, which is essentially pure ground pistachios; if you want a sweet filling use pistachio cream, which includes added sugars, oils, and dairy.
