Hi Reader!

You all were BUSY in the kitchen this month, and I love it! These are the recipes you baked, searched and couldn't stop making in September. If you haven't tried them yet, consider this your sign.

​Mega Moist Double Chocolate Banana Muffins: Rich, fudgy and secretly the best use for spotty bananas.

​Cinnamon Apple Muffins: 🍎 Mega moist, tall and packed with apples under a crunchy cinnamon streusel. Fall in muffin form.

​Pizza Focaccia: Bubbly, golden and loaded with sauce, melty mozzarella and pepperoni. Dinner, solved. Overnight + same day options!

​Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies: Chewy, toasty and a little nostalgic, with that malt flavor that keeps you reaching for one more. These are worth the extra effort!

​Soft & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies: 🥜 Soft, bendy and ready in about 30 minutes. Classic (and #1 on the site!) for a reason.

​Crowd Favorite Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies: Crisp edges, chewy centers and a fruity hint of olive oil that makes the chocolate taste even richer.

​The Best Pumpkin Cupcakes with Chai Frosting: 🎃 Warm-spiced, fluffy cupcakes under a cloud of chai frosting. Basically a latte you can eat.

​Supremely Fabulous Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies: Gooey caramel, puddles of chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky salt. Dangerous.

​Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins: 🍌 Soft, tender and dotted with melty chocolate. A lunchbox favorite. I made these this week and love this recipe so much!!

​Classic Snickerdoodles: Pillowy, tangy and rolled in cinnamon sugar. The coziest cookie there is.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you bake one of these, I'd be so grateful if you'd leave a star rating and a quick review on the recipe page. It only takes a minute, and it helps more than you'd think. Your ratings help other bakers find recipes they can trust. Your tips ("I used light brown sugar!" "Baked it in a 9x13!") help everyone get it right the first time. And for a small, independent site like DH, every review helps these recipes show up in search, which keeps this little corner of the internet going. 💛

Thank you for baking with me!
