I don’t know about you, but whenever I find a bag of cinnamon chips in the grocery store, I snatch it up, because I never know if I’ll ever see one again 👀

Why are they so rare? I don’t know. But part of me wonders if there’s a mountain of them in heaven? 🤔

Probably 😂

I’m all for pumpkin baking season, and there’s not a whole lot better, in my opinion, than these buttery baked pumpkin donuts 🎃🍩

This recipe makes about 10 soft and moist pumpkin donuts. They’re made with canned pumpkin puree and covered in a spiced sugar coating for melt-in-your mouth texture in every bite. 

Melanie said: “This is one of the BEST pumpkin recipes I’ve ever made! So moist and soft! I made a bunch for a football party and every single person went back for a second donut! Great recipe!” — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Comment sections of my videos and photos of my pie crust have historically gone NUTS over my butter chunks claiming this crust will “fall apart” or “completely melt” in the oven 🤦🏻‍♀️

The actual result?

THE FLAKIEST CRUST 🤩

Here are my best tips for getting a perfect and flaky crust every time:

1️⃣ When you’re making your pie crust, keep the big chunks of butter. They = flaky flakes!!
2️⃣ Roll from the center out rather than over top the whole thing.
3️⃣ Don’t be afraid to touch your pie crust to fix the sides, fill in holes, or press some of it together to keep it even. If it gets too warm from your fingers, see next step.
4️⃣ The refrigerator is your friend! Stop and chill any time you’re worried it’s too warm.
5️⃣ I always re-chill a pie crust once it’s in the pie plate for at LEAST 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent shrinking and encourage flakes.
6️⃣ Flip your pastry mat into the pie plate rather than try to roll the pie crust onto a rolling pin or lift it off.
7️⃣ Take your time! There is no need to rush the process.
8️⃣ Know with practice, you will get more comfortable with the process. You can do this! 🙌🏼

Take it from me, someone who has been making various flavors of small batch cinnamon rolls and buns for the last 12 years…

There’s not much better than homemade sticky buns, but the problem is that most recipes make 12 or even 18 buns 😮

Here’s the thing: unless you’re serving a large bunch of people, you likely don’t need all those buns nor the leftovers (because while leftovers are nice, they’re never as awesome as they are on day 1).

This simple swap for a smaller batch will solve more problems than you think. Guaranteed 🙌

Apple season snuck up again and honestly, I can’t wait to get them back into my kitchen! 🍎

Because for me, that means this gooey, jammy pull-apart bread will be on deck very soon!

Baking seasons change quickly, so take this as your reminder that my homemade apple butter recipe makes a LOT, and you can use it or freeze it to make it last all year long 😏

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are the GOAT. I get rave reviews from readers making them DAILY 😮

I hear it all the time: “my cookies look nothing like yours!”

Honestly, it took me YEARS to get cookies down pat and even longer to make them look beautiful. And remember… I only photograph the ones that are smiling anyway 😜

Lucky for you, I pride myself on recipes that are repeatable, reliable, and “I’m never going back to my old recipe”able 😏 so who cares what they taste like?

’Tis the season for quick football-themed treats 🏈

⭐️ BONUS: you can use any cupcake of any size to make these adorable football cupcakes for the game! And yes, you can even use STORE-BOUGHT and scrape off the frosting that’s already there and re-decorate!

Here’s how to make them:

1️⃣ fill a piping bag fitted with a #21 tip and chocolate frosting.
2️⃣ fill a piping bag fitted with a #3 tip and vanilla frosting.
3️⃣ starting at the middle of the opposite side of the cupcake from your hand, use gentle pressure on the bag to create a tight zigzag pattern, gradually getting wider, with the widest part being at the middle of the cupcake.
4️⃣ continuing in a fluid motion, gradually make the zigzag smaller after you pass the middle zigzag until you reach the middle of the side of the cupcake closest to your hand.
5️⃣ make a line across the center of the football you created with the chocolate frosting, then draw 4-5 perpendicular lines over the center line to create laces.

The kind of baking I live for…

Cozy, full of spices, and perfect for eating with some pumpkin spiced coffee (I am shamelessly basic AF, by the way).

So, this is your reminder: the chocolate chips are yours to put in or leave out, and I suggest making two separate loaves just to be sure you know which one you like best 😏

I’m just saying…

This chocolate cake isn’t any ORDINARY chocolate cake. This is a chocolate Texas sheet cake, and it’s like a giant fudgy brownie with the slightest touch of “cakey” and a crackly pecan chocolate icing on top that crackles to reveal gooey chocolate underneath 🤤

Yeah. It’s a good day for that 🥰
