While you're munching on marshmallow Peeps and chocolate bunnies, why not make some dessert to add to the sugar rush? Whether you're a master baker or looking for something sweet and simply, your guests will be seriously impressed with any of these fun Easter desserts.

Whether you like your carrot cake plain or with all the mix-ins, this recipe has you covered. Serve this sweetly spiced dessert with walnuts, raisins, coconut, and pineapple — or keep it simple with only shredded carrots in the batter. A luxurious layer of cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

This is going to be your new go-to recipe for banana bread. Browning your butter before adding it to the batter gives this banana bread and extra nutty kick of flavor. Customize your bread with walnuts, chocolate chips, or both!
