Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes

These Chocolate Lava Cakes look and taste like something from a fancy restaurant but they're actually super easy to make. All you need are some basic ingredients and a little bit of time (and it doesn't hurt to have some ice cream to serve them with). These cakes are very decadent and rich so these smaller ones are the perfect size for an after-dinner dessert. It's also really convenient because they are made in a standard muffin pan so there's no need for extra ramekins! This recipe also uses greek yogurt in place of some butter so that they aren't too heavy.

Airfryer Blueberry Pie Bites

These airfryer blueberry pie bites are made with a microwave pie filling and bake in just 10 minutes. Traditional blueberry pie filling is reduced on the stove but for this recipe, the filling is made in the airfryer in just 5 minutes. This saves time and it's one less pot to wash! The actual pie dough comes together in a food processor (but I also have instructions if you don't have a food processor). It's like a little pie explosion in your mouth every time you bite into one!

In fact, as a high schooler, I have been meal-prepping and eating these pancakes everyday for the past two years and it saves me so much time in the morning.
