S'mores Cupcakes, Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, and Chocolate Banana Pudding Cups
"I don’t usually go to the trouble of rating recipes but I had to for this one. First off, the chocolate cupcake is the best I’ve ever tasted, fluffy, light and good flavor" -overhead s'mores cupcakes
Overheard Kitchen-by-the-Sea:
"I don’t usually go to the trouble of rating recipes but I had to for this one. I came across the video on TikTok and I finally made them last night. At first glance, these cupcakes look so intimidating, but once I read through the instructions and seeing the photos associated, it was super simple. First off, I have to say that the chocolate cupcake alone is the best I’ve ever tasted, very fluffy, light and good flavor. I also want to say that the ganache is also the best I’ve tasted." -Overhead about our s’mores cupcakes
The recipe recap:
S’mores Cupcakes: These are one of the most popular recipes on the blog. They are chocolate cake with a melted chocolate core and toasted marshmallow icing. The perfect way to celebrate s’mores season. Recipe here.
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins: If you grew up loving the Costco poppy seed muffins, you have to try this homemade recipe. Although they are not Costco-sized, we add a bunch of flavorful lemon zest and a creamy glaze. They are our new favorite (and that’s saying a lot). Recipe here.
Chocolate Banana Pudding Cups: Chocolate banana pudding cups are a delicious twist on classic banana pudding. Although we are huge banana pudding fans, this chocolate version is our new favorite because what doesn’t chocolate make better? The chocolate banana pudding cups are layered with chocolate pudding followed by a layer of sea salt caramel then sliced bananas and chocolate wafers. Recipe here.
Some things we loved this week:
We played pickle ball for the first time this week and since we grew up playing tennis, we naturally did not look up the rules but instead abided by the rules of tennis. So if you have any pickle ball tips, please send them our way! Until then, we will keep playing by our rules…or lack thereof :)
