RECIPE BOX: A jump start on a new season
Are you looking for simple fall treats to sneak for yourself or share? This is just the place to snag a delicious and quick recipe.
We all are tempted by the crisp fall air to try to do all of the fall things. Hayride, carve pumpkins, build a scarecrow, pick apples, and the long list of ideas goes on! We just simply cannot do it all. I love to bake with my family but it isn’t always realistic to pour ourselves into elaborate concoctions. I came across pumpkin muffins that only require two things. That’s it! They are moist and refreshing. This is the perfect autumn dessert to make with a child, bake for a friend, or prepare ahead for breakfast. These also can be made, cooled, and placed in baggies for the freezer. Pop them out when you want them and within 30 minutes of sitting on your counter they will be thawed and ready to enjoy!
Do you always wonder how people get so much done around the holidays? My neighbor shows up with homemade fudge every year. Making fudge can seem time consuming and overwhelming, especially during the holiday season. With this simple two ingredient fudge recipe, you can easily make fudge for your entire neighborhood and still get the presents wrapped and placed under the Christmas tree.
Check out the pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. They are packed to the brim with the magical combination of oatmeal, pumpkin, and chocolate chips. They're perfectly chewy and deliciously flavorful and couldn't be more perfect for fall!
When it comes to cookies, you just can't beat chocolate chip. They're chewy, gooey, and so delicious and as much as I love the classic recipe, there are so many ways to jazz them up! Take, for example, these Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Because everyone loves pumpkin (especially in fall) and oatmeal cookies never go out of style. So... why not combine the three into an absolutely epic cookie. These cookies are packed with flavor and have the most delicious texture. They're dense and chewy, which I love in a cookie, and the pumpkin flavor combined with the chocolate chips is seriously the best. These easy fall recipes are sure to leave you feeling accomplished in the kitchen this fall.
