Desserts, Baked Treats & Sweet Breakfasts

Hundreds of recipes by Mia Nguyen – cakes, cookies, muffins and sweet breakfasts.

Profile:

Mia Nguyen's recipes center on the sweet side of the kitchen: tender cinnamon rolls, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, cranberry apple muffins with streusel, cherry cobbler, butter cookies and layered cakes. Most of them are desserts, with a smaller group of sweet-leaning breakfast bakes such as oat muffins and almond butter breakfast cookies.

The recipes follow the seasons and the fruit that goes with them. Fresh cherries and strawberries appear in summer, while pumpkin and cranberry take over in fall. Alongside the oven-baked recipes, you'll find easy dessert dips, bars and other quick sweets for days when a full baking project feels like too much.

What ties the collection together is a practical approach: familiar ingredients, clearly laid-out steps, serving sizes stated up front, and simple swaps where they make sense. Whether you're baking for a birthday, a holiday table or a weekday craving, start with a category page or browse the latest recipes below and pick something to bake this week.
