If you are on lockdown like our county is, and possibly soon to be state, you need some more activities to do with your kiddos! My kids love baking! Of course it gets messy, but that’s part of the fun (or that is what I tell myself). My kids love baking and using measuring cups. They prefer more ingredients so they can stir more together and also pour more (and make more of a mess!). When I get a box of something to mix with one or two things, they are sorely disappointed. So, most of the time we make recipes not from a box (don’t worry its pretty easy!).
Luckily, we had the ingredients this morning to make banana bread. I always freeze bananas that are starting to go bad to save them for occasions like this (I mean when its raining not when there is a pandemic!)
So, I’m going to list some of the kids favorite things to bake on a rainy cold day.
Today we made chocolate peanut butter banana bread (but just plain old banana bread with chocolate chips is what they usually like best!)
2. Chocolate chip banana bread
3) Muffins! Muffins! and more muffins!
These are applesauce oat muffins(the kids actually liked them yes!)
Here are 14 muffins the kiddos will love- including blueberry, chocolate chip, chocolate
4) Cookies of all kinds of course!
Especially sugar cookies! They love to decorate them! I try to do a recipe that doesn’t have to be refrigerated before hand. They love using cookie cutters and decorating each cookie (although expect for it to take a long time to get all the shapes cut out and expect way too make sprinkles!)
5) This is my kids favorite chocolate cake (although we usually use a bunt pan and just put icing on the top)
6) Here are some fun cupcake recipes!These are on the fancier side- we usually just ice the top with a knife and call it a day (the cupcakes are gone before you have a chance to make it fancy!) I’ve wanted to try the ice cream cone cupcakes- that will be next on our list!)
Any baking recipe the kiddos will love to make the memories with you! Don’t forget to take pictures!!!
