25 Most Popular Recipes of 2025
With the end of the year right around the corner, we’re sharing The 25 Most Popular Recipes of 2025. From sourdough discard baking and nostalgic homemade copycats to cozy desserts, simple dinners, and a little lavender here and there. This year looked a little different for us. We stepped back from posting more than usual to focus on my mom, Traci’s, health. Even so, the love and support you showed up with again and again truly meant everything.
Below are the top 25 recipes you loved most. Can you guess which one took the number one spot? What were your favorites?
We share this post every year (be sure to check out the precious years 2024, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019), and it’s always meaningful to look back and see which recipes really stood out. Sometimes you surprise us with what you make again and again — but honestly, that’s always the goal. With every recipe we share, we hope it becomes something you love and return to often.
Even with fewer new posts, it was clear how many of you continued to cook, bake, and revisit old favorites. Sourdough discard recipes stayed on repeat, nostalgic bakes made their way back into kitchens, and lemon showed up more than once (as it should). Cozy, familiar recipes really carried the year.
Scrolling back through each month is a reminder of everything we baked together in 2025 and how much it means to have such a supportive, patient community. Looking ahead, we’re excited to slowly settle back into sharing more recipes, approachable desserts, and the kind of food that feels good to make and share. Nothing overcomplicated, just really good, reliable recipes.
So tell us – what was your favorite recipe this year? Did it make the Top 25? And what would you love to see more (or less!) of in the year ahead?
We hope you’re all enjoying a cozy, peaceful end to the year and truly, thank you for being here with us. ❤️
