If you ended up getting a candy-colored stand mixer and an aesthetic oven to go with it early in the pandemic, then now is the time to finally break those in. To help you with that, we have some beginner-friendly recipes for you to prepare for holiday feasts or give as a gift to family and friends.

They're great even for friends and family members who might be a little more conscious of what they eat this time of the year. Below are three easy-to-make treats you can try:

Banana Oats Bread

The classic banana bread is a good place to start for kitchen newbies. This version gets a big boost in heart-healthy fiber thanks to the addition of oats. No worries! The secret to making your Banana Oats Bread extra fragrant and appetizing is to use overripe bananas. You know the blackened ones that no one wants to touch anymore? Those are just what you need to make this treat. Check out the full recipe.

You can’t mess this one up! Plus, it makes for a great food gift you can send over to your squad. Find the two-step recipe here.

Oats N Carrot Cake

Who doesn’t love carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? Now if you’re looking for something that’ll wow your family and friends, a full-on cake with icing is the way to go. The Oats N Carrot Cake even has walnuts for added crunch. Plus, you can go crazy with the frosting—eating it straight out of the pan, deciding how much to put on the cake, and actually decorating it. Check it out here.

For all these recipes, try them out with Quaker Oats' Rolled Oats. It’s made from 100% natural wholegrain oats, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. It’s also one of the most nutrient-dense food around as it is high in fiber, packed with protein, and has beta-glucan, among others. Lastly, oats help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream, so you’ll feel full and more satisfied for longer. And with everything happening this season, who doesn’t need a good picker-upper to keep up?
