I had a day off last week, so I thought it would be a fun project to tackle Claire’s Walnut Maple Sticky Buns. While I’ve made Cinnamon Buns a couple of times over the years, I’ve never made Sticky Buns. I just don’t gravitate towards treats with nuts in them, so this isn’t really something......
I guess I’m in a little bit of a baking rut. I haven’t felt motivated to try any new recipes, other than what Claire posts every Thursday on her show. I know summer fruit season is coming soon, so hopefully I’ll feel a bit more excited about being in the kitchen again. While I wait......
I remember thinking last year that it was such a strange and sad Mother’s Day. It was a rainy day and I dropped off this cake and a card on my Mom’s doorstep, and then we had a quick driveway visit before I went back home and watched Netflix movies all afternoon. This year was......
I love a carby breakfast baked good, and Claire’s got one for us that you can actually feel pretty good about eating. Her Seedy Maple Breakfast Muffins are full of healthy ingredients like whole-wheat flour, greek yogurt, coconut oil, ground flax and blueberries. This is a really simple recipe to mix up, and you just......
Brownies might be one of the quickest and most straightforward treats to make at home, but I have a lot of opinions about them for something so simple. It turns out that Claire and I are on the exact same page when it comes to brownies. I think I shouted “ME TOO!” no fewer than......
We’re no stranger to Rainbow Chip/Funfetti/Confetti Cakes here on Planet Byn. This cake is truly so nostalgic and fun and takes me back to being a kid. I’ve made plenty of versions of this cake over the years, but still wanted to try out Claire’s recipe. I actually make this the first time back in......
By now, we all know I’m obsessed with Claire Saffitz, but I do have one teeny tiny bone to pick with her. She is constantly saying in her videos that you need a stand mixer to make her recipes, and then sometimes she’ll reluctantly say with a sigh that you *could* use a hand mixer......
I created a poll in my Instagram stories last week to see what recipe people thought I should make next from Dessert Person. The options were: Malted “Forever” Brownies, Coffee Coffee Cake or Poppy Seed Almond Cake. I knew Kristine would vote for Coffee Coffee Cake, but so did her sister and also responded with......
I’m back with another recipe from Dessert Person! It was my Dad’s birthday last week, and his #1 fave is Carrot Cake, so I decided to test out Claire’s version. Her recipe is pretty straightforward and keeps the focus on the carrots and traditional spices like cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Her only extra addition to......
I’ve really been missing Baked Sunday Mornings lately. I would usually take a break from the group each year over the holidays because of other baking plans, and then would re-join with renewed passion and commitment every January. Because we wrapped up our journey back in May, this was the first January in 10 years......
