Thanksgiving dinner (or lunch depending on how you roll) is a meal your mouth waters for the whole year. But it’s also one of the most involved in terms of preparation, and expectation, if you’re the one doing most of the work. This means you may feel like you’re in the pressure cooker along with the turkey. But there is a way to save some time and stress! Check out these easy one-bowl desserts below.
Apple Yogurt Cake with a Cinnamon-Sugar Streak
These tender, crumbly, cinnamon-swirled bars from The Kitchn are studded with juicy apples and can be assembled in 15 minutes! Pro tip: Use whole-milk yogurt for the best flavor and texture.
Pecan Pie Bars
These pecan pie bars from Southern Living can be considered a triple threat in any dessert category. Not only a staple of any Southern meal, but this recipe can also be made with only one bowl AND can feed a crowd. Serve with warm vanilla ice cream and your guests may never leave!
One Bowl Chocolate Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
If you’ve got kids at your Thanksgiving table, this A Treats Affair recipe is perfect for them – or at least you can say you’re making it for them. Either way, with one bowl, one whisk, and a lot of taste testing this decadent dessert is sure to be a favorite!
Butterscotch Toffee Cookies
Great with coffee after your Thanksgiving meal, or milk when you sneak a late-night snack, this Taste of Home recipe couldn’t be easier. All that stands between you and the rich, comforting flavor of these cookies is 10 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of baking.
Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes
Ok, so we’re cheating just a tad with this recipe from Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, as it’s technically one bowl for the filling and a food processor for the graham cracker crust. But we’re letting it slide not only because they are so yummy, but they’re also still easy and you can make them two days ahead!
