Effortless Indulgence Sweet Treats Made Easy

Learn how to make delicious Sweet Treats Easy Recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Feel free to swap the milk with almond or oat milk if that’s what you have on hand. And if you’re out of apple cider vinegar, white vinegar works just as well. It’s all about flexibility, just like those impromptu dinners my mom used to whip up!

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep your treats tender.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

One of my favorite tips: involve the kids by letting them help with the mixing. It might get a little messy, but those are the moments that make cooking at home so special.
