Depending on what you think of as "the bare minimum", I'd think Jekyll or Hugo would work.
E.g. the Hugo quick start guide is pretty much just "install Hugo, pick a theme, add your content" and gets you a barebones sequence-of-posts blog: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/
The issue with the quick start is that it's a bit too bare bones by the look of it, and the documentation for anything more complicated gets very confusing by someone new to it.
