I can’t remember the last time I baked. Seriously, it’s been months. During the holidays I think I baked maybe one thing which is completely unlike me.
After day’s of major chocolate cravings I found myself in the kitchen whipping up the most intense chocolate muffins. They are simple, easy, and made with just a handful of ingredients.
Here’s what you need:
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup dutch processed cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cup natural unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup dark chocolate morsels
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Combine your flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, & brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together your applesauce, canola oil, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined. Stir in your chocolate chips. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
Let cool & enjoy! These muffins will quickly become the answer to all of your chocolate cravings

Warning.
Just cause you make this for your kid doesn’t mean you won’t eat most of them.
Warning.
This has that killer combo. You know, that PB & chocolate combo that no one can turn down.
Warning.
The fact that these contain fruit, plus that killer combo I just mentioned makes you wanna eat more. Because it doesn’t count if it has fruit… right?
I have something very simple, yet incredibly delicious for you today. These Granola Apple Moons are the perfect snack for kids of all ages. I have to say ‘kids of all ages’ to justify eating most of them.
These are even a great snack for your kids to help put together. It may be a little messy, but I bet they have fun doing it
Here’s everything you need:

Try to leave at least one slice for your kid 
You can bet I’ll be making these for the next play date I host. I’m not sure these will top the Nutella Cream Soda, but it’ll be close

That magical smell of chocolate and cinnamon always brings me back to my childhood.
Every time I drink this I make sure I have on my fuzzy slippers, comfy pajama pants, and my big fluffy robe. For a more picturesque moment, it would be snowing outside…
My mom use to make this all the time when we were little. Thats when we officially knew the holidays were here. She would stand at the kitchen stove stirring a small pot of evaporated milk with a cinnamon stick floating in it.
Yes… you read that correctly… we drank our hot chocolate with evaporated milk. It was rich and delicious!
Here’s what you need for this rich & creamy drink:
- 12 oz 2% milk (or evaporated milk if your feeling a little wild)
- 1 disk of Abuelita chocolate
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp chili powder (optional)
In a small pot, combine chocolate, chili powder, and cinnamon stick.
Add milk and bring to medium heat. Stir constantly until chocolate is completely dissolved.
Once chocolate is dissolved, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for additional 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally.
The longer this cooks, the more cinnamon and chili flavor you’ll taste.
Trust me when I tell you these flavors are magical! Be prepared to feel warm and fuzzy inside
What’s your favorite childhood drink?
