37 Easy Stress-Baking Recipes With 5 Ingredients or Less
These yummy baking recipes keep things refreshingly uncomplicated: They all call for no more than five ingredients. (Full disclosure: A few provide optional add-ins or variations that would take the count over five.) And most of the ingredients called for are staples that you’re likely to have on-hand already: flour, eggs, sugar, butter, peanut butter, chocolate chips—like, a lot of PB and chocolate chips—oatmeal, and bananas. (A handful of the recipes call for less ubiquitous but still relatively common ingredients, like almond flour, shredded coconut, and dates.)
Importantly, these 37 easy baking recipes are also hard to mess up, since there aren’t finicky techniques or tedious steps involved. Oh, and there are a number of vegan and gluten-free options. So whatever oven-fresh deliciousness you’re in the mood to make—cookies, cakes, muffins, macaroons, brownies, breads—you can find a simplified recipe for it here.
