How to use these baking keywords
- Baking pins keep working for years: a strong cookie or bread pin can bring traffic every season.
- Name the texture or the shortcut people look for: “soft”, “chewy”, “no yeast”, “one bowl”.
- Pin seasonal bakes 6–8 weeks ahead: Christmas cookies from October, pumpkin from August.
- Put the keyword at the start of your pin title and in the first line of the description, the way people type it.

Questions
Where do these baking keywords come from?
From Pinterest: we start from the main baking searches, add what Pinterest's search bar suggests for each, and keep the ones with a monthly search volume. Near-duplicates (“cookies”, “cookie recipes”) are merged into one line, with the others shown as variants.
Can I use these keywords for a blog, YouTube or Instagram?
Yes. The volumes are Pinterest searches, but they show what people want to cook: the same wording works in blog post titles, video titles and captions. For a food blog, the difficulty column tells you which ones a small site can rank for on Pinterest.
What does keyword difficulty mean?
PinExplore reads the top 20 pins of each search: their saves, the size of the accounts behind them and their age, weighed with the search volume. 0–34 is easy, 35–59 medium, 60+ hard. It is measured for the biggest keywords; the free keyword tool checks any other one.
How often is the list updated?
Once a month, with Pinterest's latest search volumes. The CSV download always holds the current list.
Every keyword, not just these 50
PinExplore gives you the volume and difficulty of any Pinterest keyword, its suggestions, and the winning pins behind it.
