Whether you are totally new to baking or have been baking
for years, I hope this book brings you joy, gives you inspiration
and allows you to make some absolutely delicious bakes.
As you can tell from the title, every recipe in this book is
designed to be easy. Baking doesn’t have to be complicated;
you don’t have to be an expert, and you don’t have to use fancy
ingredients if you don’t want to. Baking should be fun, relaxing
and a little messy.
In this book, you will find a collection of my best 3-ingredient,
4-ingredient and 5-ingredient recipes, plus some of my
ultimate favorites that I just couldn’t leave out. All your favorite
flavors are here – cookies and cream, speculoos, chocolate-
hazelnut, different types of chocolate, salted caramel, peanut
butter, cinnamon and more.
Thank you to all my amazing followers and supporters
for making this possible. I hope you love this book as
much as I loved writing it for you.
Turn over to find out more about me and my story…
