1. 5 Easy Microwave Desserts

Do these desserts really take just five minutes to make? Yes, yes they do.

Okay, almost all of them. The peanut brittle does take an hour to cool (unless you want to munch on the equivalent of molten lava). But the rest should be quick! And these 5 easy microwavable desserts aren’t only ones of their kind out there. Just google “cookie in a mug” and see what you come up with—or “pie in a mug”!

10–20 minutes

2. Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip by Tasty

A divine Greek Yogurt dip you can keep cold overnight and pack in the kids’ lunches (if there’s any leftover, which we doubt).

Ingredients

• 16 oz Greek yogurt
• 3 Tbsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 Tbsp. green onions

Healthy, flavorful, fun to eat, we’d give this recipe five stars (if they wanted our opinion). You can also mix Lipton’s dry onion soup mix with sour cream for a simple alternative. Tasty also has some fantastic recipes for three different kinds of hummus!

3. Waffle S’mores by Food Steez

Pretty much exactly what they sound like: FHE-treat nirvana.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 ¾ cups milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips
• 4 graham crackers (smashed)
• ½ cup marshmallows

The great thing about these s’mores waffles is that you can use different kinds of chocolate. Ever tried a s’more with a square of Hershey’s cookies and cream bar? We highly recommend it.

4. Avocado Fries by Tasty

We’d heard of sweet potato fries and zucchini fries, but never avocado fries. Cool, huh?

Ingredients

• 3 avocados (slightly firm)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste, or substitute with garlic powder)
• Pepper

(In case you’re not already an avocado fan) avocados are great for more than just avocado french fries. Put them in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (BLT) and enjoy.

5. Grilled Cheese Roll-Ups by 12 Tomatoes

A new twist on a delicious classic. We guarantee your kids will love these!

Ingredients

• 6 slices bread
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 6 slices cheddar or American cheese

This one wins for having the smallest list of ingredients. I’d love to try this recipe for grilled cheese roll-ups with ham, chicken, or even turkey, make some “fancy” sandwich rollups and add dijon and mayo.

6. Breakfast Granola Cups by Proper Tasty

Don’t let the word “breakfast” throw you off; they make for a delicious evening snack, too.

https://youtu.be/6aHRzrXkl_4

Ingredients

2 bananas
1 cup honey
1 tsp almond extract
½ cup rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Suggested toppings: yoghurt, blueberries, and raspberries

Proper Tasty—the British version of Tasty, if you hadn’t guessed—has some pretty great recipes for FHE treats, including, of course these breakfast granola cups. The greatest thing about them is you can top them with whatever you’d like.

20–30 minutes

7. BBQ Chicken Pinwheels by Tasty

Slice ’em snack-sized, or eat ’em for dinner!

Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated pizza crust
• ½ cup BBQ sauce
• 1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken
• ½ red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• ¼ cup parsley, chopped

Now that BBQ chicken pinwheels are out there, why not try the same basic recipe with a few yummy alternatives? You can make pepperoni pizza pinwheels, for example, or Hawaiian (that’d be cool).

8. Cauliflower Fritters by Tasty

Is there even a food out there that isn’t improved by the word “fritter?”

Ingredients

• 3 cups of cauliflower
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup of chopped onions
• ¼ cup fo chopped parsley
• ½ cup of wheat flour
• ⅓ cup of grated parmesan
• 1 egg
• Additional wheat flour for coating
• Oil for frying

Although cauliflower is really good, there are other veggies you can use in place of the cauliflower. Google “pumpkin fritters” for a sweet alternative. And then, of course, there’s always tuna. MyRecipies.com has a great recipe for tuna patties.

9. Eggs Benedict Cups by Tasty

Eggcellent, eggsquisit, eggstacy: call them what you will.

Ingredients

• 6 slices of ham
• 6 eggs
• 3 egg yolks
• ½ tsp white vinegar
• ½ cup melted butter
• 4 Tbsp. lemon juice
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• 3 English muffins (6 halves)

If you’re not a fan of runny yolks in your eggs Benedict cups, never fear! Just cook the eggs for a little longer. To simplify the dish, just fry an egg, put a slice of ham over the top, flip it over and let the ham cook, then put the whole thing on an English muffin. Bahm. Breakfast.

10. Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Nuggets by Tasty

If you’re not a fan of fried, try baking them instead!

https://youtu.be/kPb5b8ZsuAI

Ingredients

• 2 cups salted pretzels
• ½ cup parmesan cheese
• ½ cup flour
• ¼ tsp pepper (optional)
• 2 eggs
• 1 lb boneless chicken breasts

These pretzel-crusted nuggets are the perfect snack food for family movie nights, and they’re an easy treat kids can help make. Start a line for dipping and mixing—just make sure to wash everyone’s hands thoroughly afterwards!

11. Mini Key Lime Pies by Tasty

So simple, so good. You can eat them out of the oven (after they cool) or stick them in the fridge for an hour, your choice.

Ingredients

Filling

• 4 ½ teaspoons grated lime zest
• ½ cup lime juice (3-4 limes)
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk

Crust

• 11 graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Whipped cream

• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Depending on how large your family is, you can split into three teams to work on the filling, the crust, and the whipped cream for these mini key lime pies.

12. Swiss Roll Pops by Proper Tasty

Proper Tasty does it again with these delightfully simple swiss roll pops.

https://youtu.be/6peCmP0BSnI

Ingredients

• ½ cup powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup plain flour (plus more for dusting)
• Vegetable oil
• Strawberry jam
• Icing sugar to dust
• Lollypop sticks

This recipe for swiss roll pops calls for a strawberry jam filling, but we wonder how other sweet spread (like Nutella) would work . . . mmmmm.

30–50 minutes

13. Spinach and Artichoke Cups by Tasty

Why does everything look that much more delicious in the shape of a cupcake?

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• ¾ cup frozen spinach, defrosted and drained of excess liquid
• ½ cup mozzarella
• ½ cup romano
• ½ cup parmesan
• 14 oz can artichoke hearts, quartered
• ¼ cup chopped bacon
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp dried basil

Spinach and artichoke cups are one thing, but have you ever tried spinach and artichoke dip? Slice up some french bread, place the slices on a cookie sheet, and brush the bread with olive oil. Then broil the slices in the oven for a minute or two (seriously, that’s it) and dip away!

14. Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Bars by Tasty

Who doesn’t love creamy, soft, cinnamon-sugar-covered goodness?

Ingredients

• 2 tubes crescent dough
• 16 oz cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 Tbsp. cinnamon

You can almost taste the cinnamon sugar cheesecake bars in your mouth, can’t you? Try topping them with your favorite berries—or just side them with a fruit salad!

15. Easy Pizza (Junior Recipe) by Tasty

These pizzas are easy to make (and easy to eat).

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 packet active yeast
• 2 ½ cups bread flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 jar marinara sauce
• Mozzarella cheese
• Additional toppings of choice

It’s true, that’s all the ingredients you need for these junior pizzas. Store-bought pizzas will also do just fine if you want to skip the dough-making step. We wonder what these look like if you took a cookie cutter to them and made pizza bites . . .

16. Easy Omelette Cups by Tasty

To make these delicious omelette cups, you’ve got to break a few eggs.

https://youtu.be/w24he-xX8Rw

Ingredients

• 36 frozen tater tots, thawed
• 8 eggs
• 3 Tbsp. milk
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Your favorite omelette fillings!

These omelette cups would be fun to make on a Saturday morning, too! For the omelette fillings, we recommend ham, cheese, tomatoes, peppers, or even mushrooms.
