No-Bake Desserts
No-bake treats are life-savers on hot, oven-unfriendly days, or when you just can't be bothered to turn on the oven. Here are two divine, no-bake desserts to add to your repertoire.
Even better, they only require 2 or 3 basic ingredients that you likely already have at home.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
These heavenly bars are made with just three miraculous ingredients: crispy rice cereal, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Simply combine the cereal and peanut butter, press it into a pan, and top with melted chocolate. Refrigerate until set, and enjoy your no-bake, chewy, chocolate-peanut buttery bliss.
Variations? Try using almond butter instead of peanut butter, or substitute the chocolate chips with crushed pretzels for a crunchy, sweet & salty twist.
Banana "Nice Cream"
No ice cream maker? No problem! Just as the name suggests, this frozen treat is anything but 'nice'. It's absolutely fabulous – and it takes only one ingredient: ripe bananas. Freeze them, blend until smooth, and enjoy one of the best tasting and healthiest desserts ever.
To jazz up your nice cream, add a splash of vanilla extract, a tablespoon of cocoa powder for 'chocolate nice cream', or blend in some frozen berries for a refreshing fruit twist.
Baked Treats
While no-bake desserts are wonderful, sometimes you just can't beat the comforting aroma of freshly baked goods. Here are two simple, baked desserts that require only a few ingredients and minimal effort.
Trust us; your kitchen (and taste buds) will thank you.
Easy Baked Apples
Roasting apples to sweet, caramelized perfection couldn't be simpler. Core and slice apples, drizzle with honey (or maple syrup), sprinkle with cinnamon and a pinch of salt, then bake until tender. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you've got yourself a warm, cozy dessert.
For extra indulgence, stuff the apple cores with chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips before baking.
Four-Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
Yes, you read that right. These may be the easiest, tastiest, healthiest blondies ever, made with just four ingredients: canned chickpeas, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Blend all ingredients except chocolate chips, fold them in, bake, and enjoy your protein-packed, gluten-free, fudgy treats.
These Blondies are famous for their versatility too. Try different nut butters, add any favorite mix-ins, or even swap honey for maple syrup or brown sugar.
