Here are a few One Hot Oven favorites to get you started

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies are just the thing when you are in the mood for something extra chocolatey.

Orange Cranberry Bread is one of my longtime favorites and an easy loaf to bake at home.
The trick to being a good baker is to turn your oven on and bake
Start with cookies or muffins, expect a few flops along the way, and keep going. Every batch teaches you something. I still occasionally pull burnt bread or a lackluster cake from my oven, but that’s part of baking. The more you bake, the more you learn what works.
How One Hot Oven® Started
One Hot Oven began in 2012 after I finished culinary school.
I quickly learned that restaurant life wasn’t where I wanted to be, but my love of cooking and baking wasn’t going anywhere. Starting a blog gave me a place to keep creating recipes, keep learning, and share what I knew with other home cooks.
The name came from my husband, Paul, who joked that our oven seemed to be on all the time.
He wasn’t wrong.
The name One Hot Oven stuck, and all these years later, the oven still gets quite a workout.
