It’s no secret that I love pudding cookies, so when I was deciding what to bake to take to my work’s away day – pudding cookies were at the top of my list. I just love how soft and flavourful they are, it’s the perfect kind of cookie. And they’re so versatile, you can do pretty much whatever you like with them. I work from home and although I’ve worked for this company for over a year, I had never met any of my colleagues in person before this away day. They always get mad at me for posting photos of the things I bake when they can’t try any, so I knew I had to come out with guns blazing for them! I’d recently returned from my trip to Atlanta armed with many boxes of instant pudding and one of the flavours I had was butterscotch, I also had some butterscotch chips. I adore butterscotch and I decided this could make an amazing cookie flavour – I was not wrong.

Monkey Bread – GBBO Challenge Week 3 (Bread week)
Aka pull apart brown sugar cinnamon bread! 
If you’ve never had monkey bread before, it’s gooey sticky balls of sweet, cinnamon bread topped with a sweet vanilla glaze. It’s basically like a mountain of cinnamon buns! And if that doesn’t make you drool, I don’t know what will. The dough is made from scratch and it’s definitely worth doing that way, it doesn’t take all that long and you won’t get fluffy, yummy results as good as this without it! 
Chocolate and Raspberry Truffle Pie
This rich, delicious chocolate and raspberry truffle pie recipe is perfect for the weather right now, because you don’t have to turn on an oven! Plus it’s a great dessert to take along to a BBQ or block party, it’s so rich and indulgent, a small slice will go a long way! With that in mind, I will be bringing this beauty along to Fiesta Friday this week!
Chocolate Avocado Brookies
Super moistly and chocolatey brookies – a cross between a cookie and a brownie, the best of both worlds!
Okay, I have a confession to make. These weren’t intended to be brookies, I was trying to make chocolate and avocado cookies but they turned out more like brownies. But these chocolate avocado brookies were amazing and way better than I had originally imagined, so it was definitely a successful mistake! In hindsight, the fact that the “dough” was more a batter than a dough should have been my first clue, and I should have just spread it in a brownie pan. But I do like the rustic look of these and after I baked the first tray and realised how sticky the batter was, I decided to use a mini muffin pan and make brookie cups, which are adorably bite sized.
Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Mini Muffins
Oh, what can I say about these little drops of heaven that doesn’t sound like some inappropriate love poem? They are probably some of the best things I’ve ever baked, and I’ve baked a lot of great things (who needs modesty, right?). Unfortunately I can’t claim the credit for this recipe, it’s from the wonderful Sally’s Baking Addiction. The only changes I made was I made them in mini form and used plain flour!
