Banana Oat Cookies
We’ll start with a recipe which could be mistaken for a magic trick. Three ingredients are all you need: bananas oats and chocolate chips. In a large bowl, mash two bananas that are ripe. Add one cup of oatmeal and a few chocolate chips. Pour the mixture onto a baking tray and mix it up. Then bake at 350degF between 12-15 minutes. These cookies are healthy-looking and perfect as a breakfast treat or guilt-free snack.
Nutella Mug Cake
You want to be fancy, but you are short of time. Your new best friend is mug cakes. All you need is a microwave and a mug. In the mug, combine two tablespoons flour, two teaspoons sugar, one spoonful of cocoa, and a dash of salt. Pour in two tablespoons Nutella and a beaten egg, along with a little vanilla extract. It should be well mixed. Microwave for 70-80 second on high. Allow it to cool down for about a minute, then enjoy. You can make magic with a single cup.
No Bake Cheesecake is the Easiest Cheesecake You’ve Ever Made
The recipe for this dessert is what you would call a lazy afternoon on a Sunday. Pre-made Graham Cracker Crust, 2 packages (softened) of Cream Cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract are all you need. Cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar are beaten until they become smooth. Spread mixture in pie crust. Refrigerate for three hours. Before serving, top it with fresh strawberries and chocolate syrup. Nobody will believe you did not spend hours on it.
Enjoy these Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats
A nostalgic twist. Stir in generous amounts of peanut butter after melting the marshmallows and butter. Mix in the Rice Krispies. Then press the mixture in a pan that has been greased. The fun part is to melt some chocolate chips, and then spread them on top. Allow it to cool down until the chocolate has hardened. You can share the squares, but you may want to save a few for yourself. Pure bliss.
Fruit Salad With Honey-Lime dressing
Desserts do not have to be heavy. Light and refreshing is sometimes the best way to go. Cut up your favorite fruit medley – think strawberries, blueberries and mango. Mix honey with a little lime zest and juice in a small dish. Dressing the fruit with the honey and lime juice. Toss lightly. This tangy sweet dressing is the perfect way to end any meal.
Brownie Sundae Delight
This recipe is almost too simple if you happen to have leftover brownies. Heat a chocolate brownie for 10-15 seconds in the micro. Sprinkle chopped nuts and some whipped cream with a cherry on top of the vanilla ice-cream. You’re eating a celebration!
Yogurt and Berry Parfaits
Mix Greek yogurt and honey for a tasty breakfast or light dessert. In a tall, wide glass, layer it with berries fresh and granola. Continue layering until the top. It’s not only beautiful, but it tastes great too.
Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
Sweet and salty is a winning combination. In the microwave, melt a bag semi-sweet chips by stirring it every 30 seconds. Let the pretzels drip in the extra chocolate. Let the chocolate harden on waxed paper. For an added touch, you can sprinkle some colored sprinkles or sea salt on top of the chocolate before it hardens.
These desserts are easier to make than a simple puzzle, and they’re tastier that anything in a patisserie. Roll up your sleeves and enjoy the sweet goodness. You’ll thank yourself for embracing your inner dessert lover.
