If you love brownie batter, this is the recipe for you!

This is one of my favorite recipes. It’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s really, really good.

I imagine if Chris and I were big party-goers, this is something I would probably bring with me. But since we’re voluntary recluses (read: exhausted parents), here are some of the occasions I make this dip for:

Friday nights at home. Or Sunday afternoons at home. Really… anytime at home.

Some “light” ???? snacking while I read my book during nap time.

Annnnnnnnnnd that’s pretty much it.If you love brownie batter, this is the recipe for you!

But for those of you out there who lead a more exciting life than mine and are in need of a good dip recipe to take to a party, this is it.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like brownie batter. And if you’re friends with people who don’t, I feel obligated to suggest you remove that negativity from your life. No one can live like that.

But assuming your friends are all normal human beings who love peanut butter and brownie batter and all things that are delicious, this dip will be an instant hit wherever you bring it!

If you love brownie batter, this is the recipe for you!

Plus, did I mention easy to make? SO EASY! It’s a dream. Literall.

Happy Monday everyone! It’s finally starting to (maybe?) cool down around here and feel just a little bit like Fall. Which means we should all head inside, don our fuzzy sweaters, and turn on the oven!

Because the arrival Fall necessitates cookies. Obvs.

And it just so happens that I have a fabulous Fall cookie to share with you today. Cream Cheese (think cheesecake) Filled Snickerdoodles ????.

The ingredients for these Snickerdoodles are fairly standard. I’m using my favorite snickerdoodle cookie dough as the base of course. These snickerdoodles turn out famously soft and dreamy every single time.

The sweet cream cheese filling in the center of these cookies is incredibly simple with only two ingredients: cream cheese and sugar. To get the cream cheese filling inside, all you’ll need to do is scoop about a teaspoon onto a flattened bit of dough. Place another flattened piece of dough on top and pinch the sides together to seal it up nice and tight. After that, roll it into a ball, and you’re ready to continue. Easy!

Enjoy, and Happy Fall, ya’ll!

You guys. This butterscotch caramel sauce is basically heaven on earth. I’ve been eating it on everything lately– apples, ice cream, straight outta the jar. It’s SO GOOD.

So don’t judge me too harshly for not whipping up a batch from scratch. I just figure, why fix what’s not broken, right? Plus…. it just makes things that much easier. Which is always A-Okay in my book.

Ok, so I am being 1000000000% for real when I promise you: this cake is SO EASY. Here’s the basic breakdown:

Both cakes are overly simple using just cake mix, pumpkin, and a little milk. You’ll need a yellow cake mix, a chocolate cake mix, and two cans of pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling).

Next, you’ll make my favorite cream cheese frosting. It’s easy. You can do it.

Last, you’ll buy that amazing butterscotch caramel sauce. I found it at Target near the ice cream. You could also use my other favorite– Smuckers Caramel Delight Sundae Sauce (which I also usually buy at Target).

And voila! You’ll have one incredibly moist, flavorful, and beautiful cake perfect for ushering in pumpkin everything season Fall.

We always, always have old bananas on the counter. Mostly because every time I go to the grocery store, I get all fired up about eating more fruits and vegetables and buy out the produce department. And then, I’m ashamed to admit, a lot of it just sits around for the rest of the week… not getting eaten. Oops!

Thank goodness, old bananas are a LOT easier to rescue than, say, slimy old green beans. ????

I’ve been wanting to make a banana cake that starts with a cake mix. I love the concept of just throwing a few ingredients into the bowl and whipping up a perfectly soft and fluffy cake. I’ve never been one to shy away from a cake mix, and I’ll say it again: I love that you know what you’re getting with a mix.

You know the cake is going to be soft, fluffy, moist, and flavorful. It’s just so reliable! You know the texture is going to be good and that it’s going to bake up just right. I’ve yet to use a cake mix and be disappointed.

So it’s no surprise that this recipe ended up being a slam dunk.

All you need is a yellow cake mix, a 2-3 bananas, and a few other simple ingredients. It bakes up beautifully in less than 30 minutes, and it tastes AMAZING. Perfectly sweet with a serious banana flavor.

And the chocolate cream cheese frosting... omg.

I almost made just a regular cream cheese frosting. Which would have been good, I’m sure. But chocolate was for sure the right call to go with banana. Although… isn’t chocolate always the right call??

Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe

Classic, creamy, EASY Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. This frosting is SO good on banana bread, pumpkin cupcakes, red velvet cake, and so much more!

My favorite topping on just about anything is cream cheese frosting. I use it on banana bread, cinnamon rolls, cookie bars, and cupcakes just to name a few things.

This particular recipe is my very favorite, and with only 4 simple ingredients!! Fewer ingredients = always better in my book.

But don’t be fooled into thinking that such a simple recipe produces a subpar frosting. This is pure cream cheese deliciousness. It’s smooth and creamy, sweet and tart, everything that you ever want your cream cheese frosting to be.
