Touring dozens of ACNH springtime island renovations inspired me to bring the picnic-y springcore vibes into real life with these dreamy Matcha Rolls with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting. I designed these rolls to embrace a soft color palette and fit in perfectly with a springtime picnic spread.

Fruit Butter Baked French Toast
Healthy Maple, Chia and Flax Oatmeal

This oatmeal, in particular, is the one I make time and time again. The recipe starts with a basic stovetop or microwave oatmeal. Then, you add some nuts and seeds to make it nutritious, maple syrup to boost the flavor, and milk to give it the perfect creamy texture. This oatmeal is great for a quick breakfast or even an easy and cozy lunch or dinner!

Kombucha Pancakes

Last year on the blog, I featured Jerrelle Guy's kombucha muffin recipe (from her cookbook Black Girl Baking). It is one of my favorite recipes from her book, and you all seem to love it just as much as I do. In this recipe, I've transformed those muffins into pancakes! I referenced Jerrelle's recipe and my Blueberry Buckwheat Pancake recipe to get the best of both worlds.

Braided Apple Bread

This recipe is my ode to Butter Braid, featuring much more filling and a more satisfying, breadier dough than the original. The bread’s dough is adapted from my Cinnamon Sugar Tea Ring recipe. It's a simple, soft and versatile dough that lets the cinnamon-apple filling shine. This apple bread tastes great straight out of the oven, eaten cold out of the fridge, or reheated the next day.

Ginger and Rhubarb Jam

To showcase rhubarb's long season, I combined my beloved rhuby with ginger, a very autumnal flavor. The result is a punchy, warming and lightly sweet jam that pairs perfectly with cornbread, sourdough, scones, whole grain loaves and more.

PB & J Smoothie

The jam component of this PBJ smoothie relies primarily on strawberries, but I also added blueberries and blackberries to give it wildberry jam vibes. For the peanut butter, I used a peanuts-and-salt-only jar, but feel free to use whatever peanut butter invokes nostalgia. The result tastes exactly like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread was a staple food during my childhood summers and is still one of my favorite summer treats. This recipe is sweet, moist and has a hint of cinnamon. Have a slice on a Sunday morning with a pat of butter and a cup of coffee for a real treat.

Jam-Filled Hokkaido Milk Rolls

In this recipe, I adapted Bread Illustrated's Japanese Milk Bread loaf recipe into a roll recipe and added a swirl of jam in the middle. The result is a fluffy, lightly sweet roll with a flavorful jam filling. You could make an icing to match these rolls, but I think they are plenty sweet without frosting.

Maple Broiled Grapefruit

I’m normally a grapefruit hater, but this recipe is powerful. Sugar and maple syrup are enough to cover a world of hurt, and the flaky salt just kicks the whole dish up to the next level.

100% Whole Wheat Bread

I've tested a million wheat bread recipes in my day, but I decided to post this one because it uses 100% wheat flour, rather than the 50/50 situation that is common in single-day loaves. This recipe also calls for molasses, which you know I absolutely adore. The last secret weapon in this recipe is orange juice, which mellows out the bitterness that wheat flours can create.
