Our Most Popular Recipes of October 2025

Recipes

There’s a chill in the air; it’s time to cocoon yourself in a blanket, sip on hot apple cider, and turn on the oven. The most popular recipes of the month followed these orders, centering around baked goods. Take, for example, these Chocolate Chip Cookies With Olive Oil and Sea Salt, our newest drop from the Bon Appétit Bake Club. The cookies are accidentally vegan, but—I never thought I’d say this—the dairy isn’t missed thanks to fruity, rich olive oil. Or make this Pumpkin Flan de Queso, a warming spin on a Puerto Rican delicacy.

Pumpkin also showed up in recipes that skewed savory, like this Weeknight Pumpkin Chili. Cumin, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire, create a depth of flavor that tastes like the chili’s been simmering for hours. But if you’ve got a couple of hours to spare, consider making this Mushroom Bourguignon. Made with a medley of creamy and frilly shrooms, tender pearl onions, and red wine, it’s a luxe showstopper.
