Hi Bold Bakers!

It has been a huge year here at BBB! I came out with my first cookbook which immediately became a best seller on Amazon, We launched our first official Bigger Bolder Baking products, a Gemma’s Mug Meals Mug and a 7-Piece Bakeware Set! OH, and we found out we are expecting a baby in 2020, so all very exciting things happening. Because it was the most action-packed year ever for Kevin and me, I wanted to recap my 5 Best Baking Recipes of 2019.

Read Below for my 5 Best Baking Recipes of 2019

 

5. Simple Stovetop Brownies

As Bold Bakers, we already know you don’t need an oven to make Brownies! In previous years we have made them in a mug (in just a minute) in the microwave, then a full-batch made in the microwave, but this year I went to another level and made them on the stovetop. These rich and fudgy brownies are not to be missed. Head over to my Simple Stovetop Brownie recipe.

4. 15-Minute Banana Cream Pie

Pie is always a winner, let’s just agree on that! This was one of my most hugely popular recipes — not only because it was a no-bake recipe, but the fact that you can make it in 15 minutes! This made it a hit for 2019. Head over to my 15 Minute Banana Cream Pie recipe.

I just want you to know, it was a close tie between this pie and my 15-Minute Coconut Cream Pie! So If that’s more your flavor, you won’t want to miss that recipe

3. 2-Ingredient Homemade Pasta

I’m thrilled this made the list of our Top 5 Recipes of 2019 because personally, this was my favorite from the year. It’s a classic Homemade Pasta recipe made with eggs and flour and no pasta machine needed!

It’s all done by your own hands without the need for a mixer or machine. For proof that this recipe really does work, just check out the photos that other Bold Bakers posted on this recipe. Head over to my 2-Ingredient Homemade Pasta recipe and start making homemade pasta today.

2. 15 Minute Pizza Dough

I love love love this recipe and it is no surprise to me that it made it to the no.2 spot of our Top 5 Recipes of 2019. It’s well deserved in my opinion. This is a magic pizza dough that you can make and have it going into the oven in 15 minutes!

I actually challenged Bold Bakers on social media to see if they could do it in time and the response was amazing! You guys really had fun with this one. What are you waiting for? Head over now to 15 Minute Pizza Dough Recipe.

No-yeast pizza dough, made in 15-minutes, should look like this after baking.

1. 10-Minute Chocolate Cake Made in the Microwave

Drum roll, please… The recipe that took the number 1 spot for 2019 is… 10-Minute Chocolate Cake Made in the Microwave!

My Microwave Mug Meals are still some of my most viewed videos, SO I thought how am I going to top that? When I was inspired to make full, 3 layer cakes in the microwave, you guys all tuned in!

It’s hard to believe that this cake was cooked in the microwave in just 10 minutes. It was moist, delicious, and a beautiful easy cake to make.

Happy New Year and bring on a Big and Bold 2020!

Love,

Gemma, Kevin, Waffles, and the Bigger Bolder Baking Team xx.

Happy New Year and Congratulations!!! I LOVE all of your recipes! The sweet and the savory —just like life!
Just keep the coming. And the mug and mug meals are so easy delicious! They are awesome belly-fillers when dinner is just not going to happen because you have too much to do.

Gemma, I am such a fan of yours. I’m hoping that you can tweak the piecaken recipe that’s floating around the internet these days. With your creativity, I’m sure you can conjure up a thing or two to make it even better. I’m counting on you.

For all of the great recipes that you give to us.
