3 Tips to Make the BEST Pancake Recipes for Breakfast & Brunch
- Cook the pancakes in melted butter (not cooking spray).

Liege Waffles Recipe Hack
Need Liege waffles in a hurry? I got you! This Liege Waffles Recipe Hack is the perfect shortcut recipe to make an extra special breakfast (or treat) when you don't have time to make the dough from scratch.
Churro Waffles
These waffles are so easy to make and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth incredible. My favorite Belgian Waffles dipped in butter and coated in cinnamon sugar.
Multigrain Waffles
These multigrain waffles are as soft and fluffy as my favorite Belgian waffles-- but a lot more nutritious!
Gingerbread Waffles Recipe
Turn your regular waffle recipe up a notch and try these gingerbread waffles instead. The subtle hint of warm spices paired with sweet molasses and brown sugar is both aromatic and delicious. Try topping these with cookie butter, whipped cream, and pomegranate arils.
Apple Cider Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup
Here is a recipe for the perfect Fall weekend breakfast or brunch: Apple Cider Waffles with an amazing homemade Caramel Apple Cider Syrup.
Homemade Liege Waffles
These waffles have a soft center like brioche and and sugary, crispy outside. They are delicious fresh and warm or even served at room temperature.
These are our family's very favorite homemade belgian waffles. Crispy on the outside, soft and steamy on the inside.
French Toast
How to keep French toast from becoming soggy:
- The most important first step in preventing soggy French toast is to make sure that you are using the right kind of bread. Thick-sliced brioche and French bread are wonderful for French toast.
- Dry out the slices of bread in the oven before dipping them in the custard. Set the oven for 300ºF and place the slices of bread directly on the racks. Allow them to bake for several minutes until quite dry to the touch.
- Let excess liquid drain from the bread before cooking. Once you dip the bread in the custard mixture, place it on a cooling rack for a few minutes and allow the excess liquid to drip into another pan.

Muffins
How to Make Really Moist Muffins that Won’t Dry Out
- Use oil instead of butter (or a combination of oilandbutter). A lot of muffin recipes call for all butter, but this will 100% for sure create to dry, crumbly muffins. I love using coconut oil in my muffins!
- Everyone knows the number one rule of muffin-making is to not overmix your batter! If there are some streaks of flour or lumps, that’s just fine.
- Just as important as #2 is this: use room temperature ingredients. You will be amazed at how soft and moist your muffins will be if you bring the cold ingredients to room temperature first.

Donuts
How to Make the Perfect Baked Donuts
- Snag an affordable donut pan on Amazon! Go ahead and get this 2-pack. Every recipe I’ve ever used makes at least a dozen cookies, and it’s such a pain to only have one 6-donut pan (speaking from experience)!
- Pipe the batter into the donut pan rather than spooning it in. This ensures even baking throughout all the donuts. You can use a gallon size zipper bag to do this– just fill it and snip the corner. But I always have piping bags on hand, so I usually use those.
- Generously grease the pan!!! This is so important for two reasons: 1) you want the donuts to release easily from the pan for obvious reasons. And 2) the oil from the cooking spray will get hot quickly and create an almost-fried exterior, mimicking an actual fried donut!
- Glaze the donut. No matter what kind of frosting or topping you’re adding, always glaze the donut first. This will also give it that bakery-style donut taste and texture.

Sweet Rolls & Cinnamon Rolls
3 Ways to Upgrade Cinnamon Roll Recipes for Breakfast & Brunch
- Mix sprinkles into the dough before it rises, add sprinkles to the filling, and then spread this Rainbow Chip frosting on top of the cinnamon rolls while they’re still warm.
- Start with this Funfetti Oreo cake mix and my Cake Mix Cinnamon Roll recipe. Crush Oreo cookies in a blender or food processor to make superfine crumbs (not chunky crumbles), and replace the cinnamon sugar in the filling with the cookie crumbs.
- Skip the rolls altogether and make a cinnamon roll cake instead. It’s SO GOOD!
