If you are an overachieving go-getting person like me you have probably signed up for your fair share of clubs and groups on campus, and with all of those extracurricular activities comes a fair amount of bake sales. So today I thought I would share the 5 recipes that saved my life the night before a bake sale. Now for these recipes to be truly lifesaving it is important that you plan a shopping trip at the very latest the night before you bake. Personally, when I make my shopping list I make sure to write how much of each ingredient I need so that I buy enough, as well as raid my pantry to make sure I actually have what I think I have (and enough of it to make the recipe). Another tip is to buy any dry ingredients at the Bulk Barn, filling a bag (or a container you brought from home), is much cheaper than buying a bag at the grocery store that will inevitably have way more then you need.
3 Ingredient Vegan Brownies
A new take on a bake sale staple, these vegan brownies are not only delicious but vegan – offering an option for those usually unable to contribute to more traditional bake sales. Note with this recipe – while delicious the batch size is pretty small so you may want to double it.
