Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes
Deliciously fluffy blueberry pancakes are the weekend breakfast you’ve been dreaming about. They’re light, tender, and packed with juicy berries that burst in every bite. You’ll love how simple they are to make from scratch.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups of whole milk
- 1 large farm-fresh egg
- 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup of fresh, plump blueberries
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 large farm-fresh egg lightly, then stir in 1 ¼ cups of whole milk and 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix, as a few lumps are okay for fluffier pancakes.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh, plump blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F) and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set; this visual cue means it’s time to flip.
- Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches to keep the pancakes from sticking.
- Serve the pancakes warm, stacked high on a plate.
Unbelievably tender and bursting with sweet-tart blueberries, these pancakes have a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s perfect with a drizzle of maple syrup. For a fun twist, top them with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of lemon zest to brighten up the flavors.
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
Mornings just got a whole lot cozier with this genius mashup. Imagine all the gooey, cinnamon-spiced goodness of your favorite pastry, baked right into a custardy French toast casserole that practically makes itself while you sip your coffee. You’re going to love how the house smells while it bakes.
Serving: 8 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 (12.4 oz) can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough with rich cream cheese icing
– 6 large farm-fresh eggs
– 1 cup of creamy whole milk
– 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
– 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup
– 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground cinnamon
– A pinch of flaky sea salt
– 1/2 cup of chopped, toasted pecans (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into 8 bite-sized pieces. Scatter the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the 6 farm-fresh eggs, 1 cup of creamy whole milk, and 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream until completely smooth and frothy. Tip: Whisking well here ensures a silky, uniform custard with no eggy streaks.
4. Whisk in the 1/3 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of finely ground cinnamon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt until fully combined.
5. Slowly and evenly pour the custard mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish. Gently press down on any pieces that float to the top to ensure they are submerged.
6. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of chopped, toasted pecans evenly over the top, if using.
7. Bake on the center rack of your preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Tip: The bake is done when the top is a deep, golden brown and the center is set, with no visible liquid jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
8. Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Tip: This resting time is crucial—it allows the custard to finish setting, making slicing much cleaner.
9. While the bake rests, microwave the included packet of rich cream cheese icing for 10-15 seconds until it’s a pourable consistency.
10. Drizzle the warm icing generously over the entire bake just before serving.
Just out of the oven, it’s a masterpiece of contrasts: the top is caramelized and slightly crisp, giving way to a soft, pillowy interior where the cinnamon roll pieces have soaked up all that sweet, spiced custard. Serve it warm, straight from the pan with a dusting of powdered sugar or a side of fresh berries for a bright counterpoint to all that cozy richness.
Nutella-Stuffed Crepes
Kind of magical how something so simple can feel so decadent, right? You’ve probably had crepes before, but stuffing them with warm, gooey Nutella takes them to a whole new level of cozy indulgence. Let’s make some.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 2 large farm-fresh eggs
– 1 1/4 cups of whole milk
– 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan
– A pinch of fine sea salt
– 1/2 cup of creamy Nutella hazelnut spread
– Fresh berries or sliced bananas for serving (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of fine sea salt until combined.
2. Crack 2 large farm-fresh eggs into the bowl and pour in 1 1/4 cups of whole milk.
3. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it forms a smooth, thin batter with no lumps.
4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until fully incorporated, then let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of extra unsalted butter using a paper towel.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan, then immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread it into a thin, even circle.
7. Cook the crepe for about 60-90 seconds, until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
8. Carefully flip the crepe using a spatula and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds until set, then transfer it to a plate.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on the plate, to make about 8 crepes total.
10. Warm 1/2 cup of creamy Nutella hazelnut spread in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds until slightly runny, stirring halfway through.
11. Place a cooked crepe flat on a clean surface and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the warmed Nutella onto the center.
12. Fold the crepe in half over the filling, then fold it in half again to form a triangle, gently pressing to seal.
13. Repeat steps 11-12 with the remaining crepes and Nutella until all are stuffed and folded.
14. Serve the crepes immediately while warm. Optionally, top with fresh berries or sliced bananas for a fruity contrast.
Oh, the first bite is pure bliss—the delicate, slightly crisp crepe gives way to that molten, chocolate-hazelnut center. It’s wonderfully messy and satisfying, with the optional berries adding a bright, tangy pop. Try drizzling a little extra warmed Nutella on top or dusting with powdered sugar for an even more indulgent treat.
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Tired of those overripe bananas sitting on your counter? You’re about to turn them into the most irresistible treat. These banana chocolate chip muffins are the perfect cozy bake—soft, sweet, and packed with melty chocolate in every bite.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 22 minutes
Ingredients
– 3 very ripe, spotty bananas (for maximum sweetness)
– 1/3 cup melted, creamy unsalted butter (cooled slightly)
– 1 large farm-fresh egg
– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the very ripe, spotty bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
3. Add the melted, creamy unsalted butter, large farm-fresh egg, packed light brown sugar, and pure vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk vigorously until well combined and creamy.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
5. Tip: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula—overmixing can lead to tough muffins, so stop as soon as no flour streaks remain.
6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
8. Tip: For bakery-style muffin tops, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each before baking.
9. Bake at 375°F for 20–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
10. Tip: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack—this helps them set without getting soggy.
11. Allow the muffins to cool completely on the wire rack before serving.
You’ll love the tender, moist crumb that practically melts in your mouth, with pockets of gooey chocolate in every bite. Try them warm with a pat of butter, or pack them for a sweet on-the-go snack—they’re guaranteed to disappear fast!

2. Add the farm-fresh eggs, softened unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Whisk until smooth.
3. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Tip: The dough is ready when it springs back slowly when poked.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to ½-inch thickness.
7. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out donut shapes, re-rolling scraps as needed.
8. Place the cut donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
9. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
10. Carefully fry 2-3 donuts at a time for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pot to maintain oil temperature.
11. Transfer fried donuts to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain and cool slightly.
12. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip with the high-quality strawberry jelly.
13. Poke a hole in the side of each warm donut and gently pipe in about 1 tablespoon of jelly. Tip: Wipe the tip clean between donuts to prevent drips.

Glazed Lemon Poppyseed Scones
Haven’t you been craving something bright, buttery, and just a little bit fancy for your next lazy weekend morning? These glazed lemon poppyseed scones are exactly that—tender, flaky, and packed with sunny citrus flavor. They’re surprisingly simple to whip up and will make your kitchen smell absolutely incredible.
Serving: 8 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 18 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 cups of all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
– 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon of baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt
– 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
– 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon zest
– 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds
– 1 large egg, at room temperature
– 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream, plus 1 tablespoon for brushing
– 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup of powdered sugar, sifted
– 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt.
3. Add the 1/2 cup of cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
4. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds until evenly distributed.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg, 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until smooth.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Tip: Don’t overmix—this keeps the scones tender.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into an 8-inch circle, about 3/4-inch thick.
8. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
9. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
10. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Tip: This helps them achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
11. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown.
12. Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack and let them cool completely, about 30 minutes. Tip: Letting them cool fully prevents the glaze from melting off.
13. While the scones cool, make the glaze by whisking together the 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
14. Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled scones.
15. Allow the glaze to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
You’ll love the contrast of the crisp, sugary glaze against the soft, crumbly interior flecked with poppy seeds. The lemon flavor is vibrant but not overpowering, making these scones perfect with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a special touch, serve them with a dollop of lemon curd or a side of fresh berries.

5. Fold in the 2 medium crisp Honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced, distributing them throughout the mixture.

8. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter evenly over the top.
9. Tip: Sprinkle a pinch of extra cinnamon on top for a beautiful, aromatic crust.

Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons of baking powder
– 1 teaspoon of baking soda
– ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine sea salt, and fragrant pumpkin pie spice until fully combined.
3. In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the two large farm-fresh eggs with a fork.
4. To the eggs, add the creamy buttermilk, pure pumpkin puree, packed light brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
5. Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; a few small lumps are okay to avoid tough waffles.
6. Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron grids with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter.

8. Carefully remove the cooked waffle and place it on a wire rack instead of a plate to prevent sogginess while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve the waffles immediately while hot and crisp.
