What could be better than chocolate chip cookies you ask ? Chocolate chip cookies full of banana flavor ! These banana chocolate chip cookies are perfect as a quick and easy snack.
Maybe I should've named this blog A Cup of Cookies. I do seem to share a lot more cookie recipes than recipes that involve sprinkles, after all. It's just that when it comes to baking, cookies are one of my favorite things to whip up. If I had to list my favorite things in baking, sprinkles and cookies would have to share the first spot. But let's talk about these chocolate chip banana cookies now.
This is another recipe I've used for years. I've made these banana cookies several times to get the perfect (for me anyway) recipe. I wouldn't even be able to tell you which recipe I used to make them in the first place, first because it's been so long I've forgotten, and second because I've changed ingredient measurements.
This is the perfect recipe to make if you want to use up that ripe banana that's been seating on the counter for a week. Now, I call these cookies chocolate chip banana cookies, but I do use chocolate chunks. I've said before in this best ever chocolate chip cookies recipe post that I cut up a block of chocolate to get chunks, because it's cheaper and it's got a way better chocolate to cookie bite ratio ;) You can obviously use either.
Now, don't expect crispy cookies. These banana cookies have a bit of a cake-like texture, and they'll stay soft and moist even after a couple days on the counter. :)

Make an easy French tart with fresh apples and applesauce.
I'm not even sure this should count as a recipe. I mean, want to know how to make an easy French apple tart ? Here's what you should do : get a pie crust (I used a puff pastry crust but you can use whichever you want), pour some applesauce in your pie crust and cover with apple slices. Bake for about 40 minutes. There. You have a French apple tart. I'm not sure what else there is to say, really.
This is my favorite cake recipe. It only requires four ingredients (plus flavoring of your choice) and it is perfect for layer cakes !
I’ve shared this cake recipe before, with this Easter cake, or this nectarine layer cake, and I thought it was time it had its own post.
You see, I’ve used this cake recipe for four years now. It’s my go-to whenever I have to make a layer cake for a birthday or another special occasion (see this other Easter cake).
This easy apple crumble requires only 4 ingredients. Plus, it's got fruit, so that means it's healthy, right ?!
Once upon a time, I hated cooked fruit. As long as the fruit in the dessert wasn't actually baked with the dessert, I was okay, but things like warm apple cake or apple tart ? Blegh.
Then one day I decided to get over my fear of warm fruit because there was an apple crumble in the oven and it made the house smell wonderful. I tried it, and ever since then, I can actually tolerate cooked fruits in desserts.

Applesauce oat bars are very easy to make. They'll be perfect as an afternoon snack or for breakfast.
Random cravings are weird. I saw the box of rolled oats in the baking cupboard and instantly wanted applesauce oatmeal squares. Having never actually made oat bars before, I went looking for a recipe and found this one that originally uses strawberry jam. I wanted applesauce though, so I used applesauce for my oat bars (but I'll have to try it with jam because yum).
These applesauce oat bars are very easy to make (and they'll be even easier to eat). They're perfect as an afternoon snack or for breakfast : they are very filling ! They only require basic ingredients and one bowl (less dishes to wash – yay !). This recipe for applesauce oat bars is also egg-free.
And another recipe from Northern France ! After tarte au sucre and coquille de Noël, let me introduce you to palets de dame.
These cookies, just like tarte au sucre, are linked to my childhood. I remember the exact taste that the palets de dame we bought (from the same bakery we bought tarte au sucre from) had. I read a lot of recipes, before finding this one. Some had ground almonds, some said to spread a layer of apricot preserves between the cookie and the icing. I don't remember the ones I ate as a child to have had an apricot preserves layer, so I didn't write those down.
