End of the Week Treat! V-day themed!

Happy Friday!

This week's End of the week treat = cookies!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip M&M Peanut Butter Cookies, to be exact!!

With Valentine's Day M&Ms of course, because, well, you can never have too much love...right?

The base is made up of about half flour and half oats, and I decided to use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. Why? Why not?! Certainly can't call them healthy cookies, but might as well add nutritional benefits where I can!

High in protein and fiber, soft, chewy, and chocolaty! I'll take it! :)

Banana Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting!!

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!

Which for me is basically just an excuse to make baked goods that are heart shaped, love-themed, or red & pink!

So these cupcakes aren't actually very Valentine's Day-y, BUT I happened to have a lot of bananas that were in need of being used in some sort of baking. So why not try out some banana cupcakes?! Frosted with honey cinnamon cream cheese frosting (which is as decadent as it sounds), and topped with a conversation heart, of course, to make it festive :)

^^I'm bringing this dozen to work... ^^

...giving some to friends for their birthdays....

...and keeping some for me and my roommates!

Perfect!

I'll be doing some more baking in the spirit of V-day, so stay tuned!!

YUM cookies. warning, they are addicitive.

Soo I've definitely made these before, but they are SO good I had to post again. Chocolate peanut butter cookies with peanut m&ms. Last time I made 'em with peanut butter m&ms. I loveee them both! and they disappear literally in the blink of an eye when I leave them out!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

fantastic, homemade, from scratch (duh) Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Personally, I think they are far better than any of those you'd get at the expensive cupcake places (I'll leave names out), but you should try for yourself :)
