It’s super easy to get in over your head when you’re figuring out how to bake, so here’s some ideas for simple things to try out. Feel free to add on :)

•Mug Cakes/ Ramekin Cakes🍰

Mug cakes tend to come out a little spongy so I’m not a fan but they were the first thing I learned to do by myself when I was little! Ramekin cakes are just lil cakes you pop in the oven; less daunting than a ‘real’ cake and you don’t need a mixer

•Chocolate Chip Cookies🍪

Easiest cookie imo, try some variations! When done, the edge along the bottom will be visibly browning and the top will not be shiny. Once you’ve got this, try: oatmeal raisin, crinkle cookies, gingersnaps, peanut butter cookies, etc etc

•Brownies🍫

Use a mixer or your arm will fall off. Trust me. Put in chocolate chips or nuts, icing on top or just plain icing sugar. When done, they’ll pull away from the edge of the pan and your toothpick should be clean

•Apple Crisp🍎

Or strawberry rhubarb, blueberry, whatever floats your boat. It’s literally fruit, sugar, spices, and then the topping of oats, spices, butter, etc. On that note: apple pie filling is ridiculously easy, just buy a crust if pastry seems too difficult!

•Banana Bread🍞

Or zucchini bread. Or pumpkin loaf. Takes longer to bake, but still easy to put together. Add in literally anything you want

•Muffins, Cupcakes🧁

Like cake but less scary. Don’t overfill your cups, and don’t leave any batter on the pan outside of the cups, it’ll burn on. Toothpick it, or gently press on the top: a cake-thing should bounce back when you put your thumb on it, if there’s a dent left it’s not done.

•Coffee Cake☕️

Like a dense cake, generally with some crumble topping. It’s so good. Very simple.

•Drop Sugar Cookies✨

Simple recipe BUT be careful; if you work the dough too much it’ll stiffen! Drop cookies are way easier than chilling dough and rolling it even.
