The only thing better than a homemade treat is a homemade treat that requires minimal effort! For those moments calling for a quick, easy and tasty dessert, these two 3-ingredient recipes from @delalhi are ready to save the day.
Whether you’re a cookie connoisseur, brownie aficionado, or an all-around sugar superfan, each recipe only calls for three common ingredients that can be found within walking distance from your oven. While most online recipes require several add-ins that increase everything from preparation to price, keeping your creations short and sweet makes all parts of life easier. Because they're ready in thirty minutes and only use one bowl, these 3-ingredient recipes are a breeze to make and just as effortless to clean up.
Let’s talk about these 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies. Held together with nothing but creamy peanut butter, sugar and an egg, these cookies come out of the oven hot and gooey and ready for action. When they cool down, they’re chewy and soft and so, so sweet. If you like them crispier, you can bake them for 3 extra minutes. If you have a peanut allergy, you can substitute the peanut butter for cashew or almond butter. Truly, however you need to work through this, make it happen. They are so worth it.
And now for the chocolatey belle of the ball: easy, 3 ingredient brownies. If we would have known that these three ingredients that we somehow always have in our pantries were capable of making something this fudgy and delicious, the world would be a different place now. Whether this becomes a new staple in your home or your go-to quick chocolate fix, this recipe is worth saving (or, let's be honest, memorizing).
From movie nights to a midnight sugar craving, homemade peanut butter cookies and brownies will be the star of the show. Grab your apron, set the oven to 350 and bake on!
