30 Father’s Day Baking Recipes
Double Chocolate Muffins
Besides the deep chocolate flavor, what youโll love most about this double chocolate muffin recipe is its ease. The recipe uses common baking ingredients, doesnโt require a mixer, and is super straightforward.
Sparkling Jumbo Blueberry Muffins
This recipe yields 6 jumbo blueberry muffins that are bursting with blueberries in every bite and taste just like theyโre from the bakery.
Crumb Cake Donuts
Buttery and moist, these crumb cake donuts are comfort food at its finest. If you don’t have a donut pan, this batter makes fantastic crumb cake muffins, too.
Homemade Maple Bacon Doughnuts
Using a soft and simple yeasted dough, these doughnuts feature a sweet and creamy maple icing and salty bacon on top. This underrated flavor pairing is unapologetically indulgent and SO satisfying.
Baked Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
I’m confident that any dad would love to start his day with an extra-large serving of this baked cream cheese French toast casserole. Prep it the night before and bake it in the morning.
Everything Bagel Breakfast Casserole
Hosting Father’s Day brunch? Combining bagels, seasoning, bacon, eggs, and cream cheese, this everything bagel breakfast casserole is a savory, satisfying, and crowd-pleasing make-ahead breakfast dish.
Blackberry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake
My blackberry cream cheese crumb cake is a family-loved treat that is guaranteed to make any dad feel extra special. It’s highly adaptable to other fruits, like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
Easy Cinnamon Rolls From Scratch
These easy cinnamon rolls from scratch are perfect for yeast beginners because they only require 1 rise. Each cinnamon roll is extra soft with the most delicious cinnamon swirl!
Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
A stack of pancakes is sure to put a smile on Dadโs face, especially if they’re as fluffy and flavorful as these. A personal favorite!
Homemade Monkey Bread (aka Cinnamon Roll Bites)
You can never go wrong with a big pan of homemade monkey bread, something the whole family can enjoy. Itโs like a giant pull-apart cinnamon roll Bundt cake!
Easy Frittata Recipe (Choose Your Add-Ins)
My easy frittata recipe will be your new go-to for a healthy and egg-stra delicious (ha!) dish to serve any time of day. I include two filling variations, or get creative and use Dad’s favorite omelette add-ins.
Homemade Bagels Recipe
Easy hot and fresh bagels from the comfort of your own kitchen. Dad will be totally impressed that these didn’t come from the local bagel shop.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chewy chocolate chip cookies are the most popular cookie recipe on my website and for good reason. Sit back and watch these fly off the plateโjust make sure Dad gets one before theyโre gone!
Cream-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
These dreamy cupcakes start with a moist and deeply chocolatey cupcake, which is filled with fluffy whipped vanilla buttercream, and topped with rich chocolate ganache. Truly one of the best desserts I’ve ever baked!
One Giant Monster M&M Cookie
This recipe for one giant monster cookie is full of texture and positively packed with chocolate chips and mini M&Ms. Itโs the perfect size for sharingโor for Dad to enjoy all on his own!
Homemade Oreos
With only 10 minutes of dough chilling and no rolling pin required, making a batch of iconic Oreo cookies from scratch is quicker and easier than you think. They’re the perfect treat to celebrate any Oreo-obsessed dad.
Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies
Treat the #1 dad in your life to a batch of award-winning cookies. Stuffing these cookies is as simple as wrapping the chocolatey dough around a Rolo caramel candy.
Ice Cream Cake (Choose Your Flavor)
This crowd-pleasing, totally no-bake Dairy Queen-inspired treat has lots of layers to love, including two of your (or Dad’s!) favorite ice cream flavors, plus layers of crunchy Oreo cookies, homemade hot fudge, and whipped cream.
Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Homemade brownie ice cream sandwiches are fun kid-friendly frozen treats that are excellent for making ahead of time. Don’t worry, dads love them just as much as the kids!
Easy Key Lime Pie Bars
Or if you’re looking for an easier way to transport and share key lime pie with a crowd, try the bar version. Cream cheese adds the most delightful cheesecake flavor (and helps the bars set), and a buttery graham cracker crust is the base for the tangy filling.
Simply the Best Blueberry Pie
Paired with a deliciously flaky and buttery golden brown pie crust, my recipe for blueberry pie features a flavorful filling that is jammy and juicy yet perfectly sliceable.
Crumb-Topped Cherry Pie Bars
If you don’t feel like messing with pie crust, cherry pie bars save the day. A sweet-tart cherry pie filling made with fresh or frozen cherries plus a buttery brown sugar streusel that doubles as the crust and crumble make for an easy celebratory treat.
Perfect Peach Crisp (Egg-Free Recipe)
Crisps are another great way to enjoy seasonal fruits in less time required than traditional pie. This one showcases sweet and juicy peaches bubbling beneath a toasted pecan oat streusel.
Seriously Fudgy Homemade Brownies
This is our go-to recipe for seriously fudgy homemade brownies that are thick, dense, and intensely chocolatey with shiny crackly tops and melt-in-your-mouth centers.
Unbelievable Peanut Butter Pie
Complete with an Oreo cookie crust, Reese’s Pieces, creamy peanut butter filling, and chocolate ganache, there’s only one word to properly describe this pie: unbelievable.
Lemon Bars With Shortbread Crust
You only need 7 ingredientsย to make lemon bars with an extra thick and creamy homemade curd filling and an irresistibleย buttery shortbread crust.
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
My no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars have been a reader-favorite recipe for years, and they only require 5 simple ingredients.
Family-Favorite Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
While there are plenty of ways to make rice krispie treats, my recipe includes extra butter and marshmallows, plus a splash of vanilla, to really take this classic treat from good to great.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Dark chocolate cake layers are sandwiched with peanut butter frosting, then enrobed by rich chocolate ganache. Get ready to swoon, because this is love at first bite.
Small Chocolate Cake (6 Inch)
This recipe yields a single 6-inch chocolate cake layer, making it perfect for smaller gatherings and celebrations. Top with chocolate ganache or your favorite frosting.

3 things I dislike about North American cooking are bananas, peanut butter and oatmeal. Plus everything is too sweet. Your recipes are fab. I just tone down the sugar. Thanks

Thank you so much, Marilyn!
Great list! So many of these are my faves.
I showed this post to my husband, and he said “Would it be wrong if I asked you to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen all day? I can’t choose just one!”
But then he broke our oven by wiping down the glass door with a wet cloth right after we ran the self-cleaning cycle, so I guess he’s not getting any of them ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
This comment made me laugh but OH NO about your oven! If you reeeeeeally still wanted to make something, the peanut butter bars are no bake. ๐
I made your Herbed Tomato Flatbread earlier this week. It was delish!! Thanks for the quality recipes — keep them coming!!
Thanks for these my dad will definitely enjoy them very much.
I made the white chocolate muffins, which were actually white chocolate blueberry muffins and they were out of this wonderful world.
I tried your recipe. Itโs amazing!
