I’ll be the first to admit it, my baking skills are pretty atrocious. If you’re like me, don’t worry! Here are my go-to ideas when I need to bake something quick and easy.

Kraft 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

A very simple, delicious recipe for peanut butter-lovers and those just learning to bake!

Cinnamon Sugar Bites

Make the dough, bake, and add lots of cinnamon sugar! You can’t go wrong with this simple recipe.

Classic Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate must be one of the most loved desserts of all time, so of course I had to include it on this list! If you’re looking for something simple, a classic recipe for chocolate cupcakes should do the trick. Go give it a shot!

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Mixing the cookie batter yourself is completely optional when pre-made cookie dough exists – placing it in a skillet and baking it in the oven will make it feel home-made! Plus, it tastes bomb with ice cream.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Yes, we are back to the peanut butter! If you love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, then you will adore this easy, no-bake recipe! The final product tastes exactly like a peanut butter cup.

Hopefully some of these recipes will help get your creative juices flowing while also satisfying your tastebuds!
