Caramel Apple Cake

Jan 17, 2019 · 8 Comments

Caramel Apple Cake is a simple and delicious 3 ingredient cake perfect for a quick dessert or potluck dish.

You only need 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to get this tasty Caramel Apple Cake ready for the oven. It's a perfect quick and comforting dessert!Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing another version of a “dump cake”, which is absolutely my favorite type of quick and easy cake. I talk more about this type of cake over on my Pumpkin Dump Cake post, which is one of my most popular recipes so be sure to check that one out as well!

You only need 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to get this tasty Caramel Apple Cake ready for the oven. It's a perfect quick and comforting dessert!I love to make a homemade dessert that my family can enjoy throughout the week but unless it’s easy, it usually doesn’t happen! This cake recipe was created as a little experiment of mine to see if I could make a cake with a lot of flavors using just three ingredients. Good news: it worked! 

Easy 3 Ingredient Caramel Apple Cake - Perfect for a quick dessert or even breakfast, this versatile "dump cake" will be a hit!How to make caramel apple cake

This recipe could not be more simple! All you have to do is dump two cans of caramel apple pie filling in a greased 9×13 dish, top that layer with one box of cake mix straight out of the box, and cover with pats of butter. Bake and enjoy. That’s it!

You only need 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to get this tasty Caramel Apple Cake ready for the oven. It's a perfect quick and comforting dessert!The apple caramel combo is such a classic and the cake mix/butter topping takes it to another level. It reminds me of a crumb topping, without having to cut butter into flour and mix up a bunch of spices (although I enjoy those cakes too). It’s great for cold winter nights, apple season in the fall, Thanksgiving, or even a new take on an apple pie. I love to top it with a little whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Served with ice cream is also a winner!

You only need 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to get this tasty Caramel Apple Cake ready for the oven. It's a perfect quick and comforting dessert!Variations & Notes

If you’re looking to lighten things up, try using plain sugar free apple pie filling instead of caramel. I’ve made it this way and it’s still just as yummy. You could also follow this recipe but using different pie fillings to try out some different dump cake variations. Peach, cherry, or blueberry are all delicious. The cake mix flavor can also be switched up. For example, yellow cake mix will work if you cannot find the golden butter that I call for in this recipe. You could also use a spice cake mix with your apples for extra fall flavor (it’s amazing)! I’ve also seen versions using cherry pie filling with chocolate cake mix. The possibilities of this easy cake are endless!

You only need 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to get this tasty Caramel Apple Cake ready for the oven. It's a perfect quick and comforting dessert!I hope you’ll give my Caramel Apple Cake a try!

Mint Chocolate Matcha Smoothie

Jun 6, 2018 · 10 Comments


So it’s the end of Kindergarten for my oldest son and boy has it been a whirlwind! I’m excited to be with him all day and not have to sign so much stuff and return library books and help with homework and maybe (big maybe) sleep past 6:30am! But, I will have my hands full with two rambunctious little boys 24/7!

Speaking of being busy, smoothies have really come in handy for that. I can make them as a snack or a dessert for me and my kids and I almost always have something decent on hand to throw in there.

This week I dreamed up this mint chocolate matcha smoothie, based on a seasonal one they’re serving at the cafe in my gym right now. I love this smoothie because it’s like a healthier version of mint chocolate chip ice-cream!

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a big thing in the healthy living community right now, and for good reason. It’s packed with antioxidants and helps speed up metabolism. It also aids in the detoxification process. Matcha is a version of Japanese green tea that is grown and processed in a unique way. Before it’s harvested it’s moved to shade for about three weeks which is said to increase the amount of amino acid it contains.

The Smoothie.

I use matcha green tea latte mix from Trader Joe’s for this recipe. It’s tasty mixed with hot water or iced too. It tastes very similar to a green tea latte from Starbucks so if you like those, you will love this drink mix. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby I’ve seen several versions at the grocery store and there’s always amazon.

mint chocolate matcha smoothieThis smoothie is simple to make and contains just five ingredients:

  • bananas
  • milk
  • matcha green tea powder
  • dark chocolate chips
  • peppermint extract

All you have to do is add all the ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth. Both my kids really like this smoothie as they are both big mint chocolate fans and the taste of the green tea is not overwhelming. You could, however, add extra matcha powder if you want a stronger taste. Also, if you want your smoothie to have this pretty green color, add your chocolate chips at the end. That way they won’t start turning the smoothie brown while it’s all blending.

Chocolate Banana Granola

May 22, 2018 · 8 Comments

chocolate banana granolaAh, granola! You’re so very versatile and make my mornings easier. My husband grew up having granola with milk for breakfast and I mainly like it as a topping on yogurt or a bowl of oatmeal. The kids love it too, but I had never actually made it myself at home…until now! Meet my version: chocolate banana granola!

chocolate banana granolaWhen thinking about a recipe, I knew wanted to combine some flavors we all really love, like chocolate and bananas, but I also wanted to include some extra good for you stuff, like almonds, raw honey, and chia seeds.

chocolate banana granolaThe result is a really flavorful batch of crunchy, chocolatey granola that my kids immediately stuck their hands in. The ingredients are few and simple:

  • rolled oats
  • slivered almonds
  • chocolate almond butter
  • almond butter
  • raw honey
  • coconut oil
  • chia seeds
  • salt
  • banana chips
  • chocolate chips or sweetened cacao nibs

chocolate banana granolaMaking homemade granola turned out to be even easier than I imagined. The first eight ingredients get mixed up in a bowl and then baked (everything except the banana chips and chocolate chips) and that makes for your base recipe. After it comes out of the oven you can really make it your own by mixing in additional ingredients. In this case I chose banana chips and chocolate chips but you could add dried fruits, coconut, etc. Feel free to make it your own!

chocolate banana granolaGranola also smells amazing while it’s baking! One thing I learned is that it can quickly go from smelling awesome to smelling burnt! I recommend checking it every 10 minutes to make sure it’s not getting too done.

Chocolate Oat Bites

Sep 18, 2017 · 2 Comments

chocolate oat bitesHowdy everyone! Who loves chocolate? And who loves chocolate that’s acceptable to eat for snacks and not just dessert? Look no further than Chocolate Oat Bites!

chocolate oat bitesBut before I get into the recipe, I have some exciting news to share with you. Today is my first day of school! I am studying nutrition in a year-long program at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I have been wanting to do the program for several years now and I’m so excited that it worked out for me to start in the same month my oldest son started Kindergarten. Everyone that I’ve known to complete this program says it is a life-changing experience. And just from diving into the orientation materials I can see how that is going to be true! I’ll keep you updated on my new knowledge here on the blog.

chocolate oat bitesOK, now back to chocolate! Does anyone remember those no bake cookies with chocolate, peanut butter, and oats? I had them all the time growing up and still make them regularly today. The recipe I use is from an old church cookbook, which is my absolute favorite kind of book. I have a bit of an addiction and love to collect them. Seriously…if you have any you are looking to get rid of send them my way!

chocolate oat bitesSo these Chocolate Oat Bites are a take on the classic no bake cookies but with some healthy substitutions. You can throw these together in about 10 minutes and they only require 7 ingredients to make:

  • peanut butter
  • maple syrup
  • butter
  • vanilla extract
  • salt
  • unsweetened cocoa powder
  • quick cook oats




chocolate oat bitesThese little bites are perfect for lunch boxes or after school snacks. My kids love them! They’re also great when you’re running out the door and realize you fed your family and forgot to feed yourself. #momlife

chocolate oat bitesSpeaking of healthy substitutions, I have seen people make their no bake cookies and other recipes with coconut oil instead of butter. This is totally fine and you could do this to make the recipe vegan. I happen to think a high quality butter is good for you (and delicious) so I use it! It’s all about what works for you and your family.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Sep 6, 2017 · 4 Comments

You only need three ingredients to make the most easy and delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. Everyone will think they’re made from scratch!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Who else loves pumpkin everything during the fall? These easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are moist and fluffy with pumpkin and all the flavors of fall, with extra sweetness thanks to the melty chocolate chips. They’re a portable sweet treat that’s perfect anytime and the best part is they only contain 3 simple ingredients!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins could not be any easier to make. All you need is:

  • Spice Cake Mix
  • Canned Pumpkin
  • Chocolate Chips
  • Optional: coarse sugar or additional chocolate chips for topping
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

To make the muffins, you simply dump the ingredients into a bowl and mix. You don’t even need to use a mixer. Just a wooden spoon works great. But don’t over mix because I find that pumpkin, much like banana, can get a little gummy if mixed too much. Then just spoon the mixture into a muffin pan (can be lined with muffin/cupcake tins or not), and fill each cup to the top. You can swirl the top with a spoon to make it prettier if you like. The way they look going in is pretty much how they will look coming out. If you like, sprinkle the tops with some coarse sugar or a few extra chocolate chips to make them look fresh from the bakery. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool. It’s that simple. Your family will thank you for these! 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

I make these muffins several times every fall season, and I’ve been asked for the recipe so many times that I’ve started writing it on the container when I take them somewhere. They are delicious and taste like they must be from scratch, but no. That’s just not how I roll!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are an ooey, gooey taste of the pumpkin season! This is also the perfect recipe to let the kids help with. I hope you love them as much as we do!
