This recipe is one I’ve made 3 times now for occasions between the holidays. Many family and friends have asked for the recipe, so here it is. The perk of this one is it’s super simple and easy and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. Can’t beat that! Perfect for when you need a last minute dessert to bring to a party. Extra bonus is it’s fairly light and healthy! (But shhh no friend or family member picked up on that piece). Hope you and yours enjoy as much as I have.

This recipe is one I created based off making Real Simple’s Snack Cake for several years so I could make it more quickly with on-hand ingredients I have.
