Easy Baking Recipes for Busy Weeknights
easy baking recipes come in. Baking does not necessarily require one to spend a half-day kneading the dough or adorning a fancy cake. Using the correct recipes, warm and fresh desserts can be prepared within an hour or so--even on the busiest weekday.
I can recall the very first time I baked something at the end of the day. I felt too tired to an extent of ordering food online. However, the next time I made a quick banana bread I was surprised because it was ready in about 40 minutes. That odour of fresh bread filled the house and immediately lifted my spirits. I also keep some hasty bakes in my notebook since then, to days that I am craving comfort food and I do not want to go far to get it.
Some of the simple fussless baking recipes and tips that I will share in this article can be used on a busy evening. Regardless of your experience or the frequency of baking, these concepts will save you all the time and make your weekdays tastier.

๐What Is the Idea behind Baking on Weeknights?
- Fast and easy - Most of the baking recipes require only mixing and baking. No stirring like curries all the time.
- Healthier than takeout - You choose what to put in it, so less oil, less sugar or more whole grains depending on what you want.
- Comfort food - Hot baked foods are relaxing after a stressful day.
- Easy cleanup - 1 bowl, 1 baking tin and you are finished.
5 Easy Baking Recipes for Weeknights

Banana bread rescues you when you have rotting bananas all around you. Mash 2 to 3 bananas, mix with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and a little oil or butter. Blend all contents in a single bowl and bake at 180degC, until 30-35 minutes.
NB: You may include walnuts or chocolate chips.
2.Garlic Cheese Bread
Good with soup or pasta. Take a baguette, or any loaf of bread. Add butter and garlic paste and cover slices. Add grated cheese over top and bake approximately 10 minutes until golden.
Hint: Morning bread is also a leftover.

3.Baked Veggie Cutlets
Make the cutlets and not fry them. 2 cups boiled vegetables mixed with breadcrumbs and spices formed into patties and sprayed in oil and baked in 200degC oven in 20 minutes. Healthy and tasty.
4.Chocolate Mug Cake
When you have a craving to eat a dessert and you are in a rush. Add flour, cocoa, sugar, milk and a drop of oil in a mug. 1-2 minutes in a microwave and enjoy your single serve cake.๐
Pro tip: Put some ice cream on the top.
5.Puff (Vegetable Puff)
This is the simplest snack when you have frozen sheets of puff pastry at home. Simply prepare a fast stuffing of boiled potatoes, peas and masala. Fill the pastry, fold and bake until crispy. Done in 20 minutes!

๐My Personal Go-To Recipe
When I am too tired and I want to eat something home cooked, then I always order garlic cheese bread. It barely spends 10 minutes and during the baking time I switch to comfortable clothes and rest. When I am ready to eat the bread is hot and cheesy. Even little pleasures such as this one make hectic working days feel easier.
