I made this creamy pumpkin oatmeal because I was in the mood for something warm and comforting for breakfast, and needed to use up some leftover pumpkin puree in the fridge. I wound up saving some to reheat later in the week. Feel free to use whatever milk you prefer, I chose almond milk since …
When I picked up a half-gallon of apple cider I had 2 recipes in mind: these apple cider mini muffins and my Fall apple risotto. I’ve seen some mini-muffin recipes bake in as little as 11-15 minutes, but mine needed a little more time. These came in at the 20-minute mark, although I probably could …
Pumpkin spice coffee cake is perfect for dessert or breakfast (I’ve done the legwork!). I’ve been looking to add a pumpkin twist on a sour cream coffee cake I’ve been making for almost 15 years. I picked up my first can of pumpkin puree of the season this past week with half going towards this …
This baked pumpkin french toast is absolutely perfect on a chilly Fall Sunday. This recipe came about because I love sweet breakfasts on the weekend and french toast is usually my first go-to. I snagged my first can of pumpkin puree at the grocery store this past week with half going towards this french toast …

Since I had two pretty big bananas that were overripe and rapidly declining, I figured I’d throw my hat into the banana bread ring! This is meant to be a very simple recipe, but if you want …
I first made this creamy banana oatmeal on a cold winter morning, but I also make this when I (1) have a little extra time, and (2) need a little self-care. I tend to use a 65/35 mix of water to milk when preparing this breakfast, but if you prefer 50/50, go with it. I’m …
This big cinnamon applesauce muffins were the culmination of (1) not wanting to go to the grocery store, (2) I had about a cup of applesauce left in my baking pantry, and (3) I wanted to play with my new giant muffin pan! As an added bonus, I love the fragrance of cinnamon wafting from …
These basic vanilla muffins are the most simple muffins I’ve ever made. One quick tip if you’re pressed for time: to get your milk to room temperature quickly, measure the milk into a Pyrex measuring cup, then microwave it for roughly 20 seconds. From there I added my butter, eggs, and vanilla bean paste to …
I was looking for easy breakfasts that I could take on my morning commute. Something that (1) won’t fall apart in my work bag, (2) won’t take up too much space, and (3) can be eaten using one hand. These peanut butter oatmeal energy bites are great for a quick grab-and-go breakfast with your morning …
