Notes
This recipe came from a reader named Cara who wanted something sweet after the kids went to bed that didn’t require a mixer or effort. It’s a go-to solo dessert that’s warm, jammy, buttery, and completely nut- and gluten-free. Serve as is or top with a scoop of ice cream if desired. Tip: Pre-mix the dry ingredients in ramekins for easy late-night desserts.
