1. Mini Apple Pies
What’s better than homemade apple pie? Single-serving portions of homemade apple pie! When you make these mini pies in the Brownie Pan, everyone gets a right-size piece with the perfect crust-to-filling ratio.
2. 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cakes
Talk about quick and easy dessert! As the name might suggest, this recipe is about as easy as it gets. You can whip it up quickly if unexpected company arrives…or when you’re just in the mood for a sweet treat. You just need a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin.
3. Mini Mummy Pizzas
How cute are these mummy pizzas? They’re a fun Halloween snack when the kids are done trick-or-treating. And don’t feel like you have to reserve this recipe for October only; modify it with your favorite toppings for fun snacking any time of year.
4. Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake Squares
If you avoid making cheesecake because you don’t like how time-consuming or finicky it is, this recipe is the answer. It comes together in about 30 minutes, start to finish! To make things even easier—and more delicious—this cheesecake recipe uses pecan shortbread cookies as a base instead of a traditional crust. Say hello to your go-to treat for fall.
5. Stuffing Portions
Prepare your favorite stuffing recipe and bake it in a Brownie Pan. This way, everyone gets a proper portion (or two!). Plus it cooks faster in the pan, and each serving ends up with a delicious crispy edge. One of our favorite stuffing recipes is Sausage and Apple Herbed Stuffing…maybe it will become your favorite, too!
6. Frittatas
Having a quick and easy breakfast recipe in your back pocket ensures you’re always prepared for company, especially around the holidays. This frittata recipe is great to have prepped and ready to bake when visitors come to town. Or make a batch at the beginning of the week and take a portion to work each day. Try one (or all) of our three easy frittata recipes.
7. Mini Spinach Lasagna Squares
Keep portion size in mind by preparing your favorite food—like lasagna—in a Brownie Pan. This spinach lasagna recipe uses cheese ravioli instead of traditional lasagna noodles for super easy and quick prep. And two squares make one portion, so make a pan of these and you have enough dinner for the whole family and then some.
8. Mini Cheeseburger Pies
The beauty of this burger recipe is that you do 90% of the assembly right in the Brownie Pan before baking—the “bun” and meat cook simultaneously. Then just add the cool veggie toppings and condiments before serving. This is burger making at its finest.
9. Fresh Blueberries & Cream Cakes
Who doesn’t love the ease and tastiness of a semi-homemade dessert? Layers of pound cake, sweet cream cheese, warm blueberry compote and crispy crumbles total up to one delicious recipe. Try making a batch or two for a brunch or party.
10. Flourless Oatmeal Bars
This protein- and fiber-packed treat gets lots of nutrients from processed chickpeas, which take the place of flour in this recipe. These make for a great healthy snack alternative, but the flavors work well for breakfast, too…kind of like a homemade soft granola bar!
11. Veggie Quesadilla Cups
Here’s a fresh take on a quesadilla recipe that works great as an appetizer or as a main meal. All the ingredients are held within a cute little cup—very convenient for the kiddos!
12. Orange Blossom Cakes
Moist cake + tangy and sweet citrus glaze…is there a better combination? These single-serving desserts are a cake version of an orange dreamsicle.
