Yummy Yummies
Yummy Yummies are sweet, caramel-like treats with a rich brown sugar flavor, perfect for satisfying dessert cravings or sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 stick butter, and 1 cup self-rising flour.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
- Spread with coconut topping.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the eggs. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour mixed with 1.5 tsp baking powder. For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also enhance the flavor with a splash of almond extract in addition to the vanilla.
Serving Suggestions
These Yummy Yummies are delightful on their own but can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. They also pair well with a cup of tea or coffee. For a refreshing twist, serve alongside Chilled Raspberry Soup for a balanced dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their moistness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these Yummy Yummies ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld. However, baked Yummy Yummies are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure your blend includes a leavening agent or add baking powder to ensure they rise properly.
What can I use instead of coconut topping?
If coconut is not your preference, you can top them with chopped nuts or a drizzle of chocolate for a different flavor profile. Cream cheese frosting also makes a delicious alternative that pairs well with the sweetness.
