Jennifer Garner is no stranger to the kitchen. The award-winning actress frequently posts videos of her self-proclaimed “Pretend Cooking Show,” making everything from zoodles to coffee cakes in her stunning kitchen. Anytime she posts a new episode, we immediately want to try it.

From breakfast cookies, to the perfect scrambled eggs, to foolproof birthday cakes, to delicious pasta dishes that are ready in just 15 minutes, we’ve cooked through many of the recipes she’s cooked and shared on social media. And let’s just say, she’s got some pretty great taste. These are 17 of our favorite Jennifer Garner recipes.

Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe is a family favorite in the Garner household. Written on an old index card from a family friend, it’s admittedly technically not enchiladas, but its pretty close. It’s creamy, cheesy, rich, comforting, and a total crowd pleaser.

Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

This is actually a Pioneer Woman recipe but it’s one of Jennifer Garner’s favorites — and for good reason. It’s a no-frills, super moist and fluffy cake, and the frosting is the perfect mix of firm and smooth.

Morning Cookies

“Breakfast cookies — they just make sense,” Jennifer Garner says. We agree. Between the crushed shredded wheat cereal, lemon zest, nutmeg, and chocolate chips, these cookies are perfect for a quick breakfast or on the go snack.

Jennifer Garner’s cinnamon toast is the grown-up, more sophisticated version of your childhood cinnamon toast dreams. The thing about this recipe is that it’s ridiculously simple, (you only need five ingredients!), but it comes out looking and feeling completely elevated.

Blackberry Cobbler

This cobbler is a Garner family favorite. Her mom even made it multiple times in one week saying, “It’s easy and everyone loves it.” The blackberries cook down into a tangy, sweet jam that perfectly balances with the buttery, lightly crisp topping.

Blueberry Buckle

According to Jennifer Garner’s mom, the famous actress used to love making blueberry buckle and share it with her coworkers. It’s light and airy, and the crumb topping is just the right amount of buttery, crispy, and sugary to go with the slight tang of the cake.

Brown Butter and Sage Pasta

Jennifer Garner nailed it with this recipe that rewards you for very little effort. It only takes 15 minutes to make! The brown butter is so flavorful and the infusion of sage adds so much depth, while the sauce is creamy yet light and zesty.

Lemon Olive Oil Cake

This cake is lemony and delicious. A sprinkle of sugar on top before baking gives it a caramelized finish reminiscent of the top of a crème brûlée. Jennifer Garner recommends splurging on a high-quality oil, and we agree because the taste of the olive oil really is present with each and every bite.
