11 Recipes for Small-Batch Baking

There are plenty of reasons to downsize your bakes: Maybe you live in a small household, don't want tons of leftovers, or simply can't resist how cute a mini cake looks. Whatever the reason, these small-batch recipes make just enough to satisfy your cravings — perfect for two (or double for you!).

These bakes don't require large quantities of ingredients, a stand mixer, or special pans (just pull out a standard loaf pan) and many of the recipes — including buttery blondies, fudgy brownies, and flaky biscuits — can be made by hand in under an hour.
