Easter Dessert Recipes

​Lemon Pound Cake​
​One of the most popular dessert recipes on the site, this soft, moist pound cake boasts a golden exterior and a tangy lemon glaze. It's an easy, scrumptious dessert that you must try this spring!

​

​One-Bowl Coconut Cupcakes​
​These easy-to-make cupcakes are extremely moist (thanks to coconut milk) and topped with tangy cream cheese frosting and sweetened coconut flakes. (And this is actually the recipe that I transform into our annual Bunny Cake tradition each Easter...directions included in the cupcake post!)

​

​Easter Bark​

How festive is this simple treat?! It showcases two kinds of chocolate swirled together and topped with mini chocolate eggs, pretzels, and pastel sprinkles. The kids will love helping with this one!

​

​Bird's Nest Mini Oreo Cheesecakes​

Oreo cheesecake filling is baked in muffin pans and decorated with chocolate eggs for a cute, yummy Easter dessert!

​

​Lemon Texas Sheet Cake​
​This super moist, homemade, lemon-infused version of a Texas sheet cake is topped with a tangy lemon glaze. Better yet, with 24 servings, it's big enough to feed a crowd...perfect for Easter gatherings!

​

​Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting​
​These amazing cupcakes are luscious, lemony, perfectly moist treats. They start with a simple one-bowl batter and end with a soaking of lemon simple syrup and a topping of fluffy frosting!

​

​Carrot Cake Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting​
​These cute little whoopie pies are an easy-to-serve, hand-held dessert, perfect for a springtime get-together or Easter celebration!

​

Easter Breakfast + Brunch Recipes

​Lemon Blueberry Overnight French Toast with Lemon Syrup​
​This recipe is my family's traditional Easter breakfast! Bursting with juicy berries and layered with lemon-infused cream cheese, you can assemble this make-ahead baked French toast the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning.

​

​Green Chile Cheddar Egg Bake​

And for a savory accompaniment to our baked French toast, I always make this quick and easy crustless quiche as well. You can leave out the green chiles if you just prefer cheesy eggs!

​

​Lemon Blueberry Muffins​
​Bake a batch of these fresh muffins ahead of time for Easter morning. They're wholesome, tender, and delicious, made with whole wheat flour and bursting with fresh lemon and juicy blueberries!

​

​French Breakfast Puffs​

These tender vanilla muffins are drenched in melted butter and dipped in cinnamon sugar for a sweet and crunchy coating that makes breakfast time a treat!

​

​Lemon Sugar Baked Donuts​
​These baked donuts are light, citrusy, and generously coated in a crunchy, lemon-zest infused sugar for the perfect sunny treat!

​

​Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal​
​This tasty, wholesome recipe features oats, carrots, coconut oil, and maple syrup...AKA, a healthy breakfast for carrot cake fans!

​

​Coconut Waffles​
​Made with whole wheat flour, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut flakes, and a touch of honey, these homemade waffles are tender, golden, and absolutely delicious!

​

​Carrot Cake Muffins​

These whole wheat muffins boast the deliciousness of carrot cake in a yummy, wholesome muffin!

​

​Creamy Grits Casserole with Ham + Cheese​
​This savory, delicious breakfast casserole features creamy grits, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and diced ham for a special breakfast that's hearty, comforting, and perfect for making ahead!

​

​Whole Wheat Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes​
​These tender, fluffy pancakes are wholesome, delicious, and drizzled with a scrumptious Lemon Poppy Seed Syrup!

​

​Cream Cheese-Filled Cinnamon Roll Cups​
​These breakfast treats are as simple as fitting refrigerated cinnamon rolls in a muffin pan, filling them with sweetened cream cheese, and baking!

​

​Ground Beef + Egg Breakfast Casserole​
​This easy breakfast casserole features lean ground beef (or turkey) that's seasoned like breakfast sausage and layered with eggs and cheese!

​
