What is the one thing that our most popular new recipes this month proved? That baking season is officially in full swing. The majority of our top recipes in October were sweets, although they varied widely, from playful Banana Pudding Cookies and tender Buttermilk Pie to buttery Cranberry Orange Scones and decadent Millionaire’s Shortbread. Of course, there were a few savory hits, too. Miso Butter Chicken, anyone?

These were the most popular recipes of October 2022.
