This date cake recipe and my family go way back. I don’t even know where it came from; it just appeared one day scrawled on a pink Post-it. We’ve been making it for years and kids always think it’s chocolate cake. Not only is it good enough to be considered chocolate, this moist cake is […]

Chocolate and Cranberry Scones
I realize I’ve tagged this as “American cuisine” even though scones are a reputed British Thing. But after a bit of research I think I can certify these are American scones. (In short, Brits make them plainer and then add toppings.) No matter the nationality, these chocolate and cranberry scones are moist, buttery, soft, lightly […]
Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Give your favorite loaf bread a run for its cinna-money with this cinnamon swirl bread. It features a crunchy exterior which is satisfying to slice and a beautiful swirl of cinnamon sugar inside.

Espresso Brownies
I will never create a different brownie recipe in my life. No egg replacements, no butter shortcuts, no substitutions can compare. These brownies already have everything I would want. The smooth top and moist interior. The thick texture. The hint of coffee. These brownies are indulgent, and when I’m making brownies, that’s exactly what I’m […]
Chocolate Zucchini Bread
It’s no secret that I’m a zucchini fiend. It’s just so versatile, so useful, and it hides away so well among other flavors that you can turn it into dessert and not taste it at all. That’s a superpower, and this is hands down my favorite sweet bread. Moist, rich, indulgent, and sweetened with honey, […]
Vegan Spiced Apple Muffins
If these muffins were in hotels’ continental breakfast selections, the world would benefit. Just sweet enough, with warm pumpkin spice and chunks of apple throughout, and the base made with oats! You’d never guess from the moist texture of these apple muffins. They also contain not one but two fruits, and add-ons like chopped nuts […]
Vegan Blueberry Cobbler
Cobbler is one of the few desserts that manages to be an effortlessly simple comfort food as well as a dish worth serving when you have guests over. Short on time? Short on supplies and bowls and fancy ingredients? You can still whip together something warm and hearty with some fruit, flour, and milk. It […]
Creamy Zucchini Bread
Fun fact: this recipe for zucchini bread was created by accident. It contains double the zucchini it was supposed to. But luckily for you, zucchini has basically no taste and creates a really nice moist texture when used in baking. As a result, this is one of my and Baariki’s (and soon your) favorite breads, […]
Blueberry Muffins
These blueberry muffins were a childhood staple, and for good reason. Moist and flavorful, they’re easy to make and use up sour or frozen blueberries. The recipe is also pretty forgiving, and thus kid-friendly. So you can make lots of modifications by adding cinnamon or tweaking the wet to dry ingredient ratio. Enjoy! This recipe […]
White Chocolate Coconut Cookies
White chocolate and coconut are a power couple in themselves. But add in lemon, and they’re unbeatable. Vibrant flavor wrapped up in a crunchy, gorgeous exterior is half of the reason why these cookies are the best. (The other half is definitely because there’s no mixer and no eggs involved.) The amount of coconut within […]
