The 5 Most Popular Recipes of 2021

5. Lactose-Free No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

This is the only No-bake popular recipe of 2021. This is a lactose-free dessert which I wanted to add to my collection because I am slightly lactose intolerant.

Lactose-Free No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

Silky smooth is what I would describe this Lactose-Free No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake. This recipe is lactose-free with no baking required. The tart blueberries balance the sweet cream cheese mixture to create perfection.

4. Cranberry White Chocolate Scones

Cranberry White Chocolate Scones recipe released for the Holidays. I’m not surprised this recipe is popular for 2021. The flavour profile is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Tart cranberries, sweet white chocolate chips and tang of buttermilk. It truly is the perfect Holiday scone.

Cranberry white chocolate scones is the best breakfast or dessert for the Holidays. The tart cranberries, the sweet white chocolate, the tang of the buttermilk all comes together for a perfect combination of flavours. A bit of cinnamon and nutmeg also compliments the flavour profile to create the perfect Holiday scone.

3. Cinnamon and Nutmeg Apple Crisp

Cinnamon and Nutmeg is my favourite spice combination of all time! You may notice that I use these 2 spices in a lot of my desserts. I just love that spicy and sweet profile, but it amps up any dessert. This apple crisp is another Fall dessert that is easy to make and feeds a crowd. Its no wonder why this a popular recipe of 2021.

Cinnamon and Nutmeg Apple Crisp

Cinnamon and Nutmeg Apple Crisp is here to start the Fall season. Simple ingredients like ground cinnamon and nutmeg, Granny Smith apples and a crumbly topping create this perfect apple crisp.

2. Pumpkin Pie Spice Scones

Fall baking is very popular due to Thanksgiving for Canada and the USA. Pumpkin spice is probably the “spice of the season” because of the very trendy Starbucks drink “Pumpkin Spice Latte”. This recipe was tricky to create because pumpkin puree adds so much moisture to scone dough. However, the end result is a soft yet flaky scone with classic Fall flavours.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Scones

Pumpkin Pie Spice Scones with Buttermilk is a perfect treat with your morning coffee. With added pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice this will be your new favourite fall recipe.

If you have never tried a Butterscotch Oatmeal cookie – I recommend trying this out!
