Starting off October right with this autumn-inspired breakfast treat: Sourdough Hazelnut Swirls aka Filbert and Alice’s Nußschnecken. Sourdough (although you could also make this with a yeast brioche dough) and a caramelly-nutty (hazelnuts, but you could also use walnuts) filling. Not too sweet, a little bit of honey inspired. Delicious straight out of the oven. These are definitely on repeat!

As you might know, I am a huge fan of Burlap & Barrel, the purveyors of single origin spices. They are unique, they are ethical and, hand down, make my food taste a million times better. I went on a small (only 10) spice shopping spree the other day and when planning out what to make this weekend as a sweet treat, I decided to incorporate cinnamon, clove and chili powder into these from-scratch brownies. They are delicious and the warm spices add that “wow” factor!
I’ve been meaning to make this Monkey Bread for a whole long time, and a wet and yucky Thursday seemed to be a decent opportunity. They are perfect. They are addictive and I might just fall into a sugar coma later. It’s like a cake-sized cinnamon roll.
At the end of this recipe is also a quick note if you want to make a yeasted, not sourdough version, and a “store bought option” if you are really short on time.
