These pumpkin swirl brownies are just as outrageously rich as you’d expect thanks to pumpkin spice cheesecake colliding with a pan of fudgy brownies.

A list of all the recipes Hillary Hawkins has tested.
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread
Our testers universally loved this quick bread that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo friendly. And no one will ever know the difference. Swear.
Vegan Walnut Fig Bars
A quick, healthy, vegan, fruit and nut-filled snack. Not too sweet but still good when you’re craving something less granola and more like dessert.
Apple Cider Caramels
The 8th wonder of the world? These insanely satiating caramels are made simply with apple cider, sugar, and spice.
S’mores Cake
A campfire classic elevated to proper dessert status. The parts you know and love are here, but now they’re covering a lush brown sugar cake. And no mosquitos!
Spaghetti Primavera Pie
Essentially spaghetti casserole with veggies smothered with cheese. Sounds like supper to us.
Milk Rye Bread
A pleasing rye flavor. A subtle sweetness. A dough that’s exceptionally easy to handle. That whole-grain goodness thing. Just a few of the many things this rye bread has going for it.
Kentucky Bourbon Cake
This Southern classic is like a pound cake given its decadent amount of butter and its tender crumb. But oh, baby, wait’ll you taste the bourbon glaze.
Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Everything you would imagine in a pound cake. Buttery. Indulgent. Moist. Rich. And with a perfectly balanced and ever so slightly puckery lemon glaze.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie
Perhaps the sneakiest way ever to get kids–of all ages–to slurp something relatively nutritious for breakfast.
Orange Madeleines
Tender, buttery, and enhanced with a subtle citrus lilt. Just as Proust would have wanted. (No madeleine tin? No worries. They’re just as lovely when made in a mini-muffin pan.)
Glazed Pumpkin Pound Cake
If you’ve been thinking maybe you’re done with pumpkin everything, wait’ll you experience this aromatic pound cake that boasts the perfect balance of sweet and spice.
Gluten-Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies with Pecans and Chocolate
Think the spirit of granola. But in a satisfying cookie shape that’s crisp at the edges, chewy at the center, and oh so satisfying through and through
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins
The perfect answer for anyone who may feel a touch sheepish about indulging in pumpkin pie for breakfast.
How to Make Cinnamon Sugar
Yes, a recipe for cinnamon sugar. Because so often life leaves us wanting to be a kid again. And this proportion of cinnamon to sugar is the bomb.
Sourdough Rye Bread
It’s no longer difficult to find a decent loaf of proper rye bread. This homemade beauty is surprisingly easy to make, milder than most, and doesn’t require any yeast.
Rye Sourdough Starter
This rye sourdough starter doesn’t require any yeast yet creates a better-than-bakery loaf of proper sourdough rye. You’re welcome.
Vegan Fudge Brownies
Proof that spectacularly fudgy, messily gooey, intensely chocolatey brownies can be made without butter or eggs.
Blood Orange Pound Cake
Buttery, rich pound cake is ribboned with a marmalade layer, steeped in blood orange syrup, and finished off with a tartly sweet orange glaze. Sigh.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
We pinky swear these whole wheat chocolate chip cookies don’t taste healthy. Not even remotely. Quite the contrary. Experience why folks are calling this their new go-to cookie recipe.
