15 Things To Bake In A Crock-Pot

Are you a lazy baker? Do you wish you could just magically have delicious baked goods appear before you with little to no work? If so, you’re going to want to take notes on all of these easy things to bake in a Crock-Pot.

When the weather turns warmer, you might think that it’s time to retire that Crock-Pot to the depths of your lower cabinets after working them hard all fall and winter. All I can say is, you couldn’t be more wrong with that move, especially if you have a sweet tooth that is anywhere close to being as strong as mine.

I don’t know about you, but work tends to get more difficult to get through when the weather is warmer. All you want to do is ditch your responsibilities and go sit in a park somewhere, staring up at the clouds and drinking a nice cold brew. When I get home on a Friday after a particularly long week, I just want something baked warm and fresh to curl up with and get myself into weekend mode.

This is where I bust out the Crock-Pot. These Crock-Pot baking recipes are ridiculously easy to master, and they taste just as good as, if not better than, those complicated baking recipes that take hours to master in the kitchen. Ready for baking bliss? Read on, my friends. Read on.
