The BEST Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Bars

Posted on May 1, 2023May 1, 2023by wallflourgirl

These are possibly THE most requested dessert that I now bring to parties, gatherings, and potlucks galore! Stuffed with a rich layer of salted caramel, these perfectly chewy snickerdoodle bars are made with oil instead of butter and come together in just 20 minutes.

Here you are, scrolling idly on your internet browser, and you catch a startling flash of these salted caramel snickerdoodle bars. For a moment, your finger pauses as you consider swiping past. You can almost feel the caramel oozing off the screen, a crystal mess of cinnamon-sugar showering your plate as you sink your teeth into … Read more

This Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Frosting is much easier to make than it looks! Featuring a springy, spiced pumpkin cake filled with sweet cream cheese frosting, it’s the perfect dessert to impress during any season.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it is absolutely acceptable to make pumpkin desserts in March.

You will not descend into Dante’s Sixth Circle of Hell.

You will not be smitten (smited? smote?) by the wrath of fifteen angry pagan gods.

You will not have to go to jail without passing GO and collecting $200.

Drama-Free Cinnamon Rolls {Using a Bread Maker!}

Posted on January 9, 2020December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

It’s a new year featuring dramatic lighting, dramatic photos, and–you got it–these absolutely drama-free cinnamon rolls (made with a bread maker)!

Whether or not you own a bread machine, the only thing you need to know about them is this: they are legally, certifiably authentic products of WITCHCRAFT AND SORCERY. If there’s one thing I always dread making from scratch, it’s bread–in small part because the zombie toast in the video game Overcooked 2 is really terrifying, but mostly because I suck at it. Overkneading, underkneading…Every crime against dough that you can ever imagine has been committed in my … Read more

Bakery-Style Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted on December 29, 2017December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

These bakery-style pumpkin cupcakes remind me of all the fresh pastries I saw on display in Parisienne bakeries when I visited France this past summer. This recipe features a moist crumb and warm spices that serve as the perfect foil for a tangy cream cheese frosting. (You can catch up on my latest Europe travel stories & recipes here and here.)

While the pumpkin cupcakes that I’m sharing today are by no means Parisienne, making them transported me back instantly to the days that I spent in the heart of France at the end of July. Freshly-baked pastries filled … Read more

Mini Churro Donut Muffins

Posted on April 20, 2016December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

If you love churros, donuts, and the excuse to justifiably eat them both for breakfast–trust me, these sugary babies are for you.

Mini Churro Donut Muffins are, as their name implies–ahem–the perfect balanced breakfast food. Okay, so they’re rolled in glorious cinnamon sugar post-baking, and maaaaybe they’re more like a donut/cake than a muffin–but they’re baked instead of fried, which has got to count for something…right?

And that makes them okay to consume for breakfast.

And lunch.

And dinner.

And maybe dessert, if your stretchy pants are feeling particularly stretchy.

We’ve been having a lot of sweets around here lately…and … Read more

Golden Oreo-Stuffed Snickerdoodle Blondie Cheesecake Bars

Posted on December 13, 2015December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

I’ve just started reading Morton N. Cohen’s edition of Lewis Carroll’s collected letters and the pitter-patter of rain outside seems bent on creating the perfect England-esque backdrop for my rambles into this bizarre British author’s mind. I’ve reached a sort of rut as far as my dissertation writing is concerned, so after rereading what I had written so far, I’m taking a step back this week and trying to focus on gathering as many clues as I can around the creation of the Alice stories. It’s kind of like playing a game of Clue, only you’re the only one … Read more

Healthy Spiced Apple Granola

Posted on September 30, 2015December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

Whenever I get stressed, I go on these epic grocery store raids. They wouldn’t really be a problem, either–I mean, who doesn’t need 15 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch sitting around, right?–…IF I had a car for transporting all of my crazy impulse buys back to my place.

As it turns out, I don’t have a car, and with the first week of school upon us (FINALLY) stress levels are at simmering somewhere around a pleasant 7 out of 10. Apart from spending way too … Read more

Homemade Snickerdoodle Peanut Butter for #SundaySupper

Posted on January 4, 2015December 29, 2020by wallflourgirl

Last year was the year of the spoon.

I had my spoon in everything and anything delicious that could be spread, dipped, or straight-up eaten. Hummus, jelly, cookie butter, sweetened condensed milk, ice cream, and of course…

Peanut butter. Did I mention that the bottom of my mouth and the sides of my tongue have started swelling a bit when I eat peanut butter too many days in a row now? Because they do. I get the vague feeling (as I sit here with my spoonful of peanut butter hanging out of my mouth) I should be cutting back. Three … Read more
