Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Holiday Molasses Spice Cookies

December 8, 2021 Cookbook Challenge

This time last year, we were in lockdown and I decided to try to find my holy grail Ginger Molasses Cookie recipe. I normally never like making the same recipe or type of recipe multiple times because I lose interest really fast, but I was bored so thought it was a good time for some […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: English Muffins

September 15, 2021 Bread

It would be impossible to power rank all the carbs that I love, but English Muffins would easily crack the Top 5. I love them toasted with peanut butter and jam or as part of a homemade breakfast sandwich. There’s just something about all those toasty nooks and crannies! I always thought it would be […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Honey Tahini Challah

August 16, 2021 Bread

I think the carby/bready recipes from Dessert Person have been my favourite so far. I loved the Soft & Crispy Focaccia and the Pecan Maple Sticky Buns; both were SO good (even if I was a little annoyed at Claire saying you need a stand mixer to make them). I was really excited when the […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Rhubarb Cake

July 21, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

For the past couple of years I’ve been saying the same thing: I’ve made every rhubarb recipe on the internet and there’s nothing new to try. I thought the exact same thing this Spring, and when my friend Erin brought me rhubarb from her garden, I made two of my faves (Stewed Rhubarb & Strawberry […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Banana Bread

July 14, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Loaded Cornbread

June 10, 2021 Bread

I love cornbread and don’t make it nearly enough. I have a go-to recipe (that I should actually elevate to My Favourite status here), and I tried Alison Roman’s version at some point during the pandemic. Both of those recipes are the style that I like: plain. Claire’s recipe for Loaded Cornbread is pretty much […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Pecan Maple Sticky Buns

June 8, 2021 Bread

I had a day off last week, so I thought it would be a fun project to tackle Claire’s Walnut Maple Sticky Buns. While I’ve made Cinnamon Buns a couple of times over the years, I’ve never made Sticky Buns. I just don’t gravitate towards treats with nuts in them, so this isn’t really something […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Chocolate Chip Cookies

May 26, 2021 Cookbook Challenge

I guess I’m in a little bit of a baking rut. I haven’t felt motivated to try any new recipes, other than what Claire posts every Thursday on her show. I know summer fruit season is coming soon, so hopefully I’ll feel a bit more excited about being in the kitchen again. While I wait […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Poppy Seed Almond Cake

May 19, 2021 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I remember thinking last year that it was such a strange and sad Mother’s Day. It was a rainy day and I dropped off this cake and a card on my Mom’s doorstep, and then we had a quick driveway visit before I went back home and watched Netflix movies all afternoon. This year was […]

Planet Byn x Dessert Person: Seedy Maple Breakfast Muffins

May 12, 2021 Cookbook Challenge

I love a carby breakfast baked good, and Claire’s got one for us that you can actually feel pretty good about eating. Her Seedy Maple Breakfast Muffins are full of healthy ingredients like whole-wheat flour, greek yogurt, coconut oil, ground flax and blueberries. This is a really simple recipe to mix up, and you just […]
