by Stephanie Simmons

Overview

Ditch the Boxed Mixes for Simpler, Better Baked Goods From Scratch

Baking all your favorite desserts just got one step simpler with Stephanie Simmons’s recipes, which are faster, easier and don’t leave you with a pile of dirty dishes to wash when you’re done. These recipes are ideal for bakers with limited time or counter space, since there’s no need for fussy extra steps like separating wet and dry ingredients.

Throw together a quick and easy everyday dessert like Gooey S’mores Brownies with Toasted Marshmallows. Impress your guests while still getting to spend quality time together with spectacular sweets like Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart or Brown Sugar and Bourbon Cherry Crisp, and homey holiday bakes like Pumpkin Pie with Gingersnap Press-In Crust. And don’t forget to try one-bowl savory options like No-Knead Cheddar and Thyme Bread or Tomato Galette with Asiago and Gouda.

You can also whip up one-bowl toppings like 10-Minute Salted Caramel Sauce, Chocolate Ganache Two Ways and Infinitely Adaptable Glaze to take your treats to the next level. With Stephanie’s time-saving tips and tricks, making desserts from scratch will be as breezy and low-effort as any boxed mix—but much more delicious.
