25 Desserts You Can Make In Your Microwave

March 30, 2016 by Susan Bewley 41 Comments

How many times have you wanted a wonderful cake only to find you don’t have the time to wait for it to bake in the oven? Don’t worry, we have been there, done that as well. Even worse when you are on a diet and don’t need to be tempted by an entire cake. Before my answer was just to forget dessert or get something out (like a cupcake). Luckily, to save money and cut back on calories, we recently learned that you can make a variety of delicious desserts using something that is in nearly every kitchen – your microwave!

If you guys are anything like me, you are probably a bit skeptical? How exactly can my microwave make an awesome cake? I mean, we want all of our calories to be used for something fantastic, right? Since I am not someone who likes to waste my time, I was excited when some of my favorite bloggers shared with me some of their favorite microwave recipes they make for their own family. Below, you will find our list of 25 desserts you can make in your microwave. Don’t worry, they are pretty easy and most can be made in under 10 minutes, making them perfect for people with little time, or with little ones who want a dessert right now!

Want to try any of these desserts for yourself? Make sure to tell us how they went below or your own successes you have had making your own microwave desserts!

    These all look awesome!! There are a ton of microwave hacks out there. I was baking a Pineapple upside down cake about a month ago when my oven quit on me. I took the cake out of the oven, spoonedthe mix and pineapple into a smaller square glass pan and shoved it in my microwave. I cooked it a little 1st a time till it looked done. It tastes good.

    These recipe’s sound so good and easy to make. The first one I would like to try and make is the Microwave Mug Brownie because I love brownies. The next one would be the banana nut cake because I love Banana Bread. Another one I would like is the Microwave Apple Crisp Recipe because I love anything with apples in it. Thanks for sharing such great recipe’s.

    I’m going to share these with my family. Everyone in our house has a sweet tooth. I figure these will make a lot more fun snacks than the usual chips or popcorn. These will all be perfect for a girls’ night in or a family movie night!
