Having a serious sweet tooth AND an immense love for baking/cooking can be a very dangerous combination most of the time for me.
More than often, I get an idea in my head and before I can even think things through thoroughly (or even check to make sure I have everything I need), I’m already in the kitchen preheating the oven and making a mess! This happened just the other day when I looked at the big bowl of freshly picked oranges I had sitting on the counter. Nothing goes with orange quite like almond and chocolate so that’s the route I took. Luckily, I had everything I needed this time and didn’t have to make a dash to the store first! I had planned on making regular old cupcakes with a protein frosting, but as I went to grab my cupcake pan I saw a set of sweet little bundt pans I stole from my mother a few years ago. I figured these would be much cuter and fancier than a regular old cupcake.
I was right…
Be careful if you make these… it’s far too easy to just keep popping them in your mouth anytime you pass by the batch!
