Quarantine is getting so boring, and finding activities to do inside seems to be getting harder and harder. But, if you love to experiment with food and don’t mind heating your house up a bit, baking is a great way to pass the time. You’ve probably already tried some recipe and some of you might’ve loved it and some of you might’ve sworn off baking altogether.
Don’t turn away just yet, because once you see these baking recipes, you’ll be in the kitchen in a minute rolling up your sleeves to get your baking on! And if you really do hate baking, get someone in your house to do it for you. That’s what I do!
Most of these baking recipes are for the people who have a sweet tooth and can’t keep their hands off the stuff, but I have sprinkled a few savory baking recipes throughout to get some variety. So, turn up your AC and get to baking!
These ooey-gooey, yummy cookies are for the chocolate lovers out there as this cookie has cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and chunks, and chocolate pudding mix to really pack the chocolate flavor in this bad boy. It is definitely one cookie a day kind of treat and you’ll need a full glass of milk to follow this down.
Though this cookie contains a lot of chocolate ingredients, there are not any other ingredients that are out of the ordinary so it makes these cookies pretty easy to make.

Beignets are usually deep-fried, however, I have found an easy recipe to bake beignets instead so you don’t have to go through the hassle of frying them. Beignets are a popular dessert and many people know them from the Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. I have tried this amazing dessert in the shape of Mickey Mouse ears in Disneyland. If you’re a fan of Disney, you’ll have also noticed beignets being served in the Disney movie Princess and the Frog.

Out of all the baking recipes, everyone should learn how to make homemade biscuits. Biscuits go with so many different foods, they are the perfect baking recipe to learn so if you ever need an extra side for a meal, biscuits can be your go-to. Pair it with sausage gravy, or bacon, egg, and cheese for breakfast meals. Make it a side dish to any dinner with a little butter and jam. Or maybe chow down on one for a yummy afternoon snack.

My younger sister is the baker in the family, and one of the best baking recipes she does is banana bread. This recipe has you making banana bread muffins instead of bread, which I think is super cool since it makes it easier to take for a snack at lunch and it isn’t as messy. I am not a super big fan of bananas, but I could eat banana bread until it made me pass out. I love it and so will you!

Apple turnovers are a classic when it comes to baking recipes. I always feel a bit cheated when I get a Mcdonald’s apple turnover. Freshly baked ones are so much better! Most people eat these baked treats for dessert, however, if I can eat a donut or sugary scone for breakfast, I can also eat an apple turnover! Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Another one of my favorite desserts, and a dessert I might prefer to have on my birthday instead of a birthday cake. This strawberry rhubarb pie will blow your mind with how good it is! It is, in my opinion, a best when it comes to baking recipes. Don’t forget to add the sugar on top of the crust for added sweetness. This is definitely a summer pie as it holds some amazing summer flavors. You’ll want to revisit this recipe every year.
