👋🏼 hi! Have we met yet?

I’m Lynn, and I’ve been teaching people on the internet how to bake delicious things for 12 years.

I am known for my chocolate chip cookie recipe, one that produces crisp edges, gooey centers, and converts Toll House diehards left and right 🍪

And here’s why you need them: fiber, protein, and complex carbs carbs, all wrapped up in a bite that tastes like dessert 🍨

Listen, you know I’m not about the word “healthy” when it comes to dessert, and that’s definitely not what this is. It’s truly just a recipe my family loves to have on hand for snacking and it just so happens to have some gems in it. That’s all.

And on the beach? They taste even better 🤭

When I tell you that this bread is the nearest and dearest bread recipe to me on my whole website, I truly mean it 🥹

This month’s installment of my monthly ​#fafbreadofthemonth series​ is actually the very first recipe I ever published on Fresh April Flours on April 13, 2014, and it’s also the very first yeast bread I ever learned how to make back in 2010. It came from my Italian-born paternal grandmother, was passed to my mom, and then it was taught to me 🍞

The photos, the recipe, and the post itself have come a long long longggg way since 2014, and this is actually the third iteration of this post. This is, by far, its best iteration, the most detailed instructions, and now there’s a video to help you make it perfectly ✨

AND I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING.

Anise? Like licorice? 🤮

Ok, forget that right now! Because I loathe licorice, but I adore this bread. It’s a much lighter taste, bringing along with it warm notes of spice, and if you’re willing to give it a shot, I think it might steal your heart with one bite 🫶

Here’s the deal— I’m going to Southern France, April 2027, and you’re invited! Eleven people are already in, and now we’re just waiting for YOU 🥰

We’ll be strolling cobblestone streets, dipping our toes in the Mediterranean, chasing sunsets, eating every croissant and macaron we can find… And my FAVORITE PART?

WARNING: you’ll wish you knew about this years ago! 😮

This moist and tender banana cake is topped with a fine, sandy crumb, and it’s a spot-on copycat of the beloved (and discontinued) Entenmann’s Banana Crunch Cake.

I promise, once you try this, you’ll never just jump straight to banana bread ever again 🍌

And if you’re a Whoppers fan, your mood can boost up to 80% more than the regular chocolate cake lover 😏

This chocolate malt cake is made with malted milk in the cake AND the frosting. Its flavor is complex and nutty and the perfect *something special* your next chocolate cake needs 🍰

What’s not to like? 🤔

Bread? Good.
Sauce? Good.
Cheese? GOOOOOOD.

Seriously, this pizza pull apart bread is one of my personal favorites. Every time I make it, it makes pizza feel fun again 😂

I mean… Not that I need to be convinced to eat pizza. I’m basically a ninja turtle at heart 🐢🍕

But this bread can totally serve as dinner, and I think you should test out that theory ASAP 😏

You’re going to want to save this recipe 📌

When I want to take my cinnamon rolls to the next level, I throw some pecans and a brown sugar maple syrup “sauce” in the bottom of the pan, and they’re instantly transformed into STICKY BUNS 🤤

The best part? And my FAVORITE part? This recipe makes 6 buns, but you can easily double it to make 12.

Jess said: “MAKE THIS CHEESECAKE — YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! This cheesecake is absolutely delicious!! I made it for Mother’s Day last year & everyone still raves about it. It is not overly sweet & the goat cheese adds a subtle but perfect zing to the flavor profile. The crust is so much more interesting than a regular graham cracker crust. I thought the topping was incredible, but my kids are not big on nuts & they enjoyed the cheesecake without the topping.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This creamy and tangy goat cheese cheesecake is baked on top of a buttery shortbread walnut crust and topped with a sticky and gooey honey walnut topping… And you need to make it ASAP 🍯

We all watched Monica lose her mind trying to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe 😵‍💫

Phoebe pulled out Nestle Toll House and called it a day, but Monica totally deserved better.

⭐️ THIS ⭐️ recipe is what Monica deserved. And yes, I have the Friends couch tattooed on my arm so know that I don’t make claims like this lightly 😏

Welcome to this side of Instagram where we don’t settle for mediocre chocolate chip cookies. Only THE BEST ✨

No churn ice cream was a whole vibe back in 2015, but you know what? It really earned its keep, IMO.

And you know what I love most about them? Not having to make space in my freezer for my ice cream maker or having to remember 24 hours ahead of time to bring it up from the basement in the first place 🙃

This easy, no churn ice cream is swirled with ribbons of peanut butter throughout a creamy vanilla base– no ice cream maker required.

You can stop looking for your go-to summer bake, because it’s THIS.

Seriously.

These bars are made from two layers of graham cookie bars filled with a thick and gooey layer of marshmallow creme and creamy milk chocolate chips. They’re soft, chewy, and full of all the gooeyness you love from traditional s’mores 🍫🔥

These apple cinnamon rolls take the classic base you love and give it an orchard-inspired twist with layers of thinly sliced apples baked right into the gooey cinnamon-sugar filling.

Soft, fluffy, and topped with tangy cream cheese frosting, they’re the perfect mix of cozy flavors and fresh apple sweetness 🍎

And my favorite part? My cinnamon roll recipes are always written to make SIX, so you aren’t stuck with a ton leftover OR you can choose to double the recipe (super simple— adjustments included in the recipe!) to feed a bigger crowd 🙌
