Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Muffins

December 15, 2013 by Cate 23 Comments

Chocolate Chip Cinnamon muffins are so light and fluffy thanks to buttermilk. The flavor combo of the warm cinnamon with the chocolate chips is incredible!

Happy Sunday! It is bright and sunny here in NYC, a nice change from yesterday when it snowed literally the entire day. But I didn’t mind – it gave me an excuse to bake the day away, starting with these chocolate chip cinnamon muffins. Not that I need an excuse to bake all day 🙂 Plus when you’re all warm and cozy inside, the snow is so pretty. It made the city look so calm and peaceful. It wasn’t quite as pretty and peaceful when I left to go out to dinner. The streets were not plowed, so let’s just say our cab did not have the easiest time driving! Ah the joys of city living….

Pumpkin Crumb Coffee Cake

November 12, 2013 by Cate 13 Comments

Cinnamon crumbs are piled high on top of moist and flavorful pumpkin cake – this Pumpkin Crumb Coffee Cake is the perfect fall breakfast!

I’m back with another pumpkin recipe. I just can’t stay away! For some reason this time of year all I want to eat is pumpkin! Like these pumpkin doughnuts, or these pumpkin doughnuts, or these pumpkin muffins. I can’t believe I am about to say this, but I like it even more than chocolate right now. Pretty sure that will change in a month or so, but for now I’m embracing pumpkin everything! …

Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies

August 22, 2013 by Cate 16 Comments

These Skinny Peanut Butter Brownies have no flour, no butter, and no oil – but they still taste absolutely amazing!! Chocolate peanut butter lovers will go crazy for them!

After the not-so-light recipe I posted earlier this week, I have something a little bit healthier for you today. But I promise, these skinny brownies taste amazing!! I was skeptical when I first saw this recipe – I mean how can you make a brownie without oil or butter? But I was intrigued so decided to try it out. And wow, am I glad I did. These brownies are amazing!! They are so moist and fudgy – and the peanut butter swirl just puts them over the top! As a bonus, they are so pretty! I felt like a kid in art class making the marble swirl of PB on top of the batter. …

Chocolate Chip Cookies – made using cornstarch

July 29, 2013 by Cate 8 Comments

This is not the first chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have posted on ChezCateyLou, and it certainly won’t be the last. There are just so many recipes out there for this classic cookie, and I love trying different versions! It also helps that TheBetterHalf loves chocolate chip cookies – have to keep him happy! I have made the Jacques Torres recipe and a recipe using browned butter, and I really love them both. But when I saw this recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction, I wanted to try them because one of the ingredients intrigued me – cornstarch! I have never used cornstarch in my baking. The cornstarch makes the cookies light and fluffy, always a good thing in my book! And wow, these cookies were so soft and fluffy! The recipe uses dark brown sugar, which I love for chocolate chip cookies because it gives the cookie a caramel-y flavor that works so well with the chocolate chips. I can’t wait to try cornstarch in other cookies recipes! …
