How do I bake a flat texture in Cycles? (2.79)

Question

I've been looking on how to bake a texture from my material colors. I found a question from the past saying that there would be a bake option for "Diffuse Color" but I don't see that in the dropdown menu. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nono, I need it to be flat, without lights or shadows and stuff. I just need the material colors into a texture and nothing else. — Pupcific, Jun 29 '18 at 01:11

First of all read about overall baking process in the link provided by Cegaton: How do I bake a texture using Cycles bake

Then the "trick" is pretty simple.

Connect your material colors to Emission Shader.
Select Bake Type as Emit.
Bake.

Select "Diffuse" from the drop-down list then click the "Color" button.
