French-style raspberry tartlets with a buttery crust, a soft almond cream filling, and bright raspberries on top. Most of the work can be done a day or two ahead, so the final bake is nearly an afterthought.
Buttery, moist muffins with a swirl of fresh blueberry compote and a crunchy crumb topping. I found this one over 15 years ago and it still outbakes everything in my kitchen.
I used to think a s'more without a campfire was just a sad graham cracker. These smashed date s'mores fixed that — 5 ingredients, no oven, 94 calories a bite, and ready in 25 minutes start to finish.
Crisp, crumbly edges, soft fudgy centers, melty chocolate pockets, a vanilla glaze, then a chocolate drizzle. Eight scones, one batch, and a make-ahead trick that means they're ready before the house is.
Three ingredients, one food processor, 10 minutes start to finish. This blueberry sorbet is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, needs no ice cream maker, and tastes like summer in a bowl.
I flubbed these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies a few times before a melted-butter trick fixed them. 30 minutes start to finish, no chilling, no mixer — soft, chewy, and the good kind of simple.
I used to think homemade ice cream meant a machine, a recipe with a dozen steps, and a kitchen I'd have to rebuild the next day. Then I met the no churn base: three ingredients, one bowl, and a freezer. Here are 31 flavors built on it, from classic vanilla to the weird ones I actually want to eat.
I used to think hotel cookie recipes were for other people. This Ritz-Carlton chocolate chunk pecan cookie turns out chewy, loaded with chocolate and pecans — and it's the good kind of simple.
Two containers of vegan cream cheese were about to expire, so I turned them into these vegan cinnamon cookie cheesecake crumb bars — soft cookie base, creamy filling, golden crumble, no refined sugar.
A moist, fluffy loaf you can make with zero baking experience. Real pistachios ground in a food processor, almond flour, and a sweetener of your choice — 1 hour 20 minutes start to finish.
