There’s something magical about Bisquick when you need a dessert in a hurry. I’ve rounded up 17 of my favorite easy Bisquick desserts that are as simple as they are irresistible.
Think tender cakes, gooey pies, and chewy cookies, all made with that trusty mix. So grab your Bisquick and let’s get baking.
1. Raspberry Cheesecake Danish
I’ve always had a soft spot for Danish pastries, and this quick version has become my weekend staple. They’re perfect for a speedy breakfast or a little midday snack alongside a hot cup of tea. The cream cheese and jam filling bakes right into the dough, and a sweet glaze drizzle on top finishes them off beautifully.
2. Impossible Coconut Custard Pie
Six ingredients are all you need for this dreamy coconut custard pie. That’s the magic of Bisquick.
I just blend everything up, pour it into a pie dish, and bake until it’s beautifully golden. It’s so easy, it feels like a little kitchen miracle.
3. Chewy Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know you might expect cakey cookies, but trust me, these are chewy in the center with crisp, golden edges. The trick is to scoop the dough into tall balls so they don’t spread too much in the oven.
Keep a close eye on the timer so they stay wonderfully chewy, unless you’re aiming for a more cake like bite. Either way, they’re irresistible.
4. Strawberry Crumble Bars
I make crumble bars at least a couple times a month because they’re just that good. A buttery shortbread base, a layer of fresh strawberry filling, and a crumbly topping is the ultimate trio. It’s uncomplicated, satisfying, and always hits the spot.
5. Gluten Free Lemon Squares
Gluten free Bisquick is a total lifesaver in my kitchen. The shortbread base is just three ingredients: the mix, butter, and powdered sugar.
When it bakes, it turns irresistibly crumbly and melts in your mouth. For the lemon layer, you skip the fussy water bath entirely.
Just blend your filling and pour it right over the base before baking. It couldn’t be simpler.
6. Blueberry Bisquick Mug Cake
I’ve always had a texture problem with mug cakes. They so often turn out rubbery from a moment too long in the microwave.
Bisquick totally saved the day. With the boxed mix, this little blueberry mug cake bakes up incredibly light and fluffy, with juicy pops of fruit in every spoonful. It’s my go to when a single serving of something sweet calls my name.
7. Velvety Bisquick Crumb Cake
I love how this vanilla cake is light and tender, with a sweet, crunchy topping that steals the show. It all comes together in a single bowl, so cleanup is a breeze.
For the nutty finish, I stir together coconut, brown sugar, chopped nuts, butter, and a splash of milk, then spread it over the baked cake. It’s ridiculously good.
8. Impossibly Light Chocolate Brownie Pie
This brownie pie is a lighter spin on a classic, but it doesn’t skimp on taste. I use applesauce to keep it ridiculously moist and the heart healthy Bisquick mix trims some calories without stealing any richness.
Everything whirs together until silky smooth, then it takes a long, slow bake in the slow cooker for three to four hours. The result is pure chocolatey bliss.
9. Bisquick Cinnamon Muffins
Whoever decided that unfrosted cupcakes count as breakfast is my personal hero. I adore cake, so getting to enjoy it first thing in the morning without any side eye is a total dream. These cinnamon muffins are fluffy, fragrant, and just right with a cup of coffee.
10. Raspberry Crumble Bars
Okay, you caught me, these raspberry bars are pretty close cousins to the strawberry crumble bars. But I stand by both recipes and I’ll absolutely make them again before the holiday season arrives. With Christmas around the corner, a stash of simple, crowd pleasing treats is a must.
11. Rhubarb Custard Pie with Streusel
Similar to the apple and coconut pies I’ve shared, this rhubarb version has a few tweaks that make it special. The Bisquick sinks to the bottom, forming a tender base while the custard sets up around the tangy rhubarb.
On top, a streusel of brown sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts adds a fantastic crunch. It’s cozy, sweet, and a little bit tart, all in one bite.
12. Impossible Cheesecake Pie
Instead of settling into a crust, the Bisquick blends right into the cream cheese filling, creating a cheesecake that’s dense, smooth, and totally irresistible. Thanks to the baking powder, it puffs up just a smidge in the oven.
You end up with a fabulous crustless cheesecake and not a single water bath to worry about. It’s the ultimate easy dessert.
13. Apple Cobbler with a Twist
This apple cobbler comes with a little twist. While a classic peach cobbler has fruit on the bottom and a spooned topping, this one bakes up almost like a tender apple cake. I’d say it’s perfectly acceptable for breakfast, and I won’t judge you for it one bit.
14. Impossible French Apple Pie
French apple pie is known for that crumbly topping, and this version delivers exactly that. What sets it apart is the crust, made with Bisquick in a flash.
If you’re racing the clock or just can’t seem to get pastry right (I’ve been there), this pie is a total lifesaver. It’s genius in its simplicity.
15. Gluten Free Bisquick Snickerdoodles
I’ll say it again: gluten free Bisquick is absolutely terrific. Nobody will ever guess these snickerdoodles are gluten free.
The days of sad, grainy treats are long gone. These soft cookies have cinnamon right in the dough and a generous roll in cinnamon sugar before baking. Honestly, I might pick these over the classic version.
16. Simple Self Saucing Chocolate Pudding Cake
I have to admit, I’ll take a warm, saucy cake over a frosted slice any day. This chocolate number is a little magic trick: while it bakes, a luscious sauce forms right underneath the cake.
The moment you scoop into it, that glossy chocolate sauce peeks out from the bottom of the dish. It’s pure cozy comfort, no frosting required.
17. Red Velvet Bisquick Cookies
Red velvet cake is one of my all time favorites, so of course I’m head over heels for these cookies. Soft and chewy, they’re loaded with creamy white chocolate chips in every single bite. They make the most adorable Valentine’s Day treat, but honestly, I’d bake them any day of the year.
