What? We’re already almost one week into the new year? Seriously, where did 2018 go?

But since we’re already in 2019, that means that I’ve had this blog for almost one year. It’s true–the first post on Danielle’s Mixing Bowl was uploaded on February 2018! In case you’re curious, it was the . Since then, I’ve made a lot f cool treats that I’ve been honored to share with all of you. When I first started this blog, I wasn’t sure where I was going with it. All I wanted was a place to share my baking and something that would force me to try new techniques. One year later, I can still say that those are just as important as when  first started out.

So to look back, I wanted to revisit the top 5 recipes from 2018. The following recipes are the ones with with the most views, likes, and comments (spoiler alert: you all love peanut butter a lot). I have some fun things in store for 2019–a new theme, a giveaway or two–but, before we get to far ahead, let’s look back at last year’s favorites.

 

 

Number 5: Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry muffins are my favorite type of muffin, and it doesn’t look like I’m alone. Pro-tip: cut these in half, cook them in the skillet for 2 or 3 minutes, and slather them with butter. Yo won’t regret it!

Number 4: Peanut Butter Cookies

An early entry to the blog, I think the reason people like these so much is that they don’t take much time, they’re beginner friendly, and they taste amazing.

Number 3: PB&J Cupcakes

Okay, these just look impressive, right? But don’t think for a minute that impressive = difficult, because that’s not the case at all. These have a flavor that’ll transport you straight back to your childhood.

Number 2: Peanut Butter Bars

I told you–you all love your peanut butter! I mean, not that I can blame you. This is peanut butter covered in chocolate. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

And, drum roll please. The top recipe on Danielle’s Mixing Bowl for 2018 is…

Number 1: Lemon Blueberry Cookies

Honestly, I was a bit surprised by this one! But, after thinking about it, maybe, by baking a cookie with fruit in it, it automatically makes as a “healthy food.” At least, that’s what I’m telling myself!
