Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

What better way to enjoy a chilly winter evening than with a Nutella stuffed chocolate chip skillet cookie? This is best enjoyed straight out of the pan while the cookie is still gooey and the Nutella is warm and melty. Hope you all enjoy my twist on two classic, yet delicious, sweet cravings that will hopefully satisfy any sweet tooth!



INGREDIENTS:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup Nutella, melted


DIRECTIONS:

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8” cast iron skillet (or pie dish) with baking parchment and set aside.

STEP 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter with both sugars; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low; add the salt, vanilla, and egg. Beat until well mixed, about 1 minute. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.

STEP 3
Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until it becomes a thinner consistency. 

STEP 4
Spoon half the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour the Nutella over the cookie dough evenly to 1-inch of the edges. Top with remaining cookie dough and spread evenly using the back of a metal spoon or your fingers if you need to. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

STEP 5
Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes (or until top is golden brown). Then cover with aluminium foil and bake for an extra 15 minutes. Allow the cookie to cool completely before removing from the pan onto a serving dish. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce drizzled on top.

Strawberry Coconut Banana Bread

Here's another healthy banana bread recipe for you all to try! This is such a unique twist on classic banana bread. I came across this recipe on  Ambitious Kitchen's  website and at first, was quite skeptical about it because, although I love both strawberries and coconut, I was curious to see how those two flavours work together and, more importantly, how they work in a banana bread. I made a few adjustments to the recipe according to the ingredients I had at hand and to make it healthier and the rest was a moist, fluffy, delicious slice of heaven with the perfect amount of sweetness, hint of banana flavour, chunks of juicy strawberries, and flakes of coconut speckled throughout. One of the most genius creations EVER! This banana bread is so flavourful on its own that it doesn't even need a topping, as the strawberries, once baked, are like little pockets of jam in the bread. However, if you'd like to make this a more wholesome breakfast or more filling snack, sprea...

How It All Began

It all started 5 years ago when I was 9. I still vividly remember the first treat I ever baked. It was a classic, rich, decadent chocolate fudge cupcake, from scratch. The minute I saw the spoon swirl in that smooth, dark batter I knew I had found my passion. I started off my baking journey by making a variety of cupcakes. I loved experimenting with the different flavours and get creative with the decoration. But small cupcakes started getting boring and weren't as satisfying as big cakes. I got bigger and bolder and started creating a line of delicious, indulgent cakes including cheesecakes, chocolate ganache, different flavours and various birthday cakes. All the positive feedback I was receiving really gave me more confidence to experiment an assortment of desserts that I would see michelin star chefs make on many TV shows, my favourite being MasterChef Australia. Before I knew it I found myself whipping up a collectio...

Gluten-Free Banana Bread

Now before you start to think of the dry, dense baked goods that come to your mind when you think of the word "gluten-free", let me tell you, this banana bread defies all the norms! It's moist, fluffy, lightly sweetened with honey and PACKED with flavour and nutrients! The secret? CHICKPEA FLOUR (commonly known as "besan" in urdu)! This adds a ton of protein and fibre to the banana bread making it the perfect nutritious and filling breakfast. You can customise it to your liking by throwing in your favourite add ins (I chose walnuts but chocolate chips would be divine!). Special thank you to Monique from  Ambitious Kitchen  for giving me the idea. I have adapted her recipe, making a few tweaks, to adjust it to my liking. INGREDIENTS: 4 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 heaping cup) 1/4 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour (b...
