Recipe: Dark Chocolate Walnut Cookies — Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn

Five years ago, we hosted our 10 full-time staff members for a weekend retreat in the country, and I was in charge of the cooking. We were hungry worker bees, stretching our brains all day, decoding the secrets of site design, traffic analytics, and reader satisfaction.

Recipe: Blueberry Pie Overnight Oats — Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn

As someone who consumes far too much muesli with yogurt, it's not surprising that bircher muesli (or "overnight oats," as it has popularly become known) is also a favorite of mine. Overnight oats are incredibly easy to make ahead of time, and they're perfect for on-the-go breakfasts.

This particular recipe is a fun variation on my usual overnight oats. It takes a bit of extra time to make the crumbly streusel topping but it's definitely worth it. Dessert for breakfast? Oh, yes.
