What happens when you add granola — and this case, super-yummy Bear Naked Honey Almond Granola — to from-scratch brownies? Something totally decadent. Sort of a cross between a granola bar and a brownie. And because it has granola in it, I guess it’s healthyish, right? Brownies for breakfast!

Do you like apple crumble? How about pecan pie? Always on the go and eating stuff “out of hand” instead of with a plate and fork? Then these Apple Pecan Crumble Bars are the thing for you! Cookie-sized crumble bars with apple fruit preserves and chopped pecans. It’s all of you autumn snacking needs rolled into one!
I am calling this creation a “Olive Oil, Almond and Sweet Plum Cake” but what it actually is is what happens when you take two of Joanne Chang’s Recipes from Flour Love — the Plum Frangipane Tart (page 230) and the Olive Oil Cake with Fresh Grapes (page 297) and combine them. Turns out, it’s pretty spectacular as a combination — it’s mostly the Olive Oil Cake recipes, but instead of grapes, I used tiny sweet plums. I’m guessing it would also work really well with cherries (pitted) or gooseberries as well. At any rate, glorious inspiration for an otherwise unforgettable Monday.
This is, hands down, my new favorite bread. It’s another one of those (almost) no knead, bake-in-a-dutch-oven kind and it turned out perfect. It uses a King Arthur Harvest Grains blend (can he found here; a one bag of these grains is enough for 8 or 9 loaves). It adds a delicious nuttiness. Simply wonderful. And it looks darn right pretty.
The other day, I bought this amazing green (of course) mini-bundt pan from Ten Hands Pottery on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenHandsPottery). It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.
