Look, let’s make something super clear: You never need an excuse to eat something sweet. Hunger, boredom, and/or a global pandemic are perfectly good reasons to put your apron on and bake a dessert. But if you’re limited on time and don’t have the patience or energy to wait 45 minutes for something to bake in the oven, I totally get it.
Your solution: the microwaveable dessert.
Yup, these sweets, cakes, chocolates, and pumpkin decadences are just as yum when cooked in the microwave as they would be if they baked in the oven. Oh, and they also take way less time too.
Plus, there’s wayyyy less clean-up since most of these desserts only require one microwave-safe bowl. (Shout out to the other dirty dishes currently chillin’ in your sink, though).
So if you’re looking for a treat to whip up quickly and honestly slays, we’ve gotchu. Desserts and recipes below for whatever your sweet tooth is craving.
