During the summer holidays, we’re constantly trying to come up with new activities to keep our kids away from boredom. Although we occasionally love some free parent time, our priority is to come up with ideas that can get the whole family involved!
One of our favourite activities is baking - not only does it keep everyone busy for an hour or two, but we also get something delicious to eat at the end of it!
However, we’re all too aware of the fact that some recipes just aren’t kid-friendly - either they’re too complex, take too long to make, or they involve tasks that could be risky around little ones.
So, to help you out, we have devised 10 of the most perfect (and scrumptious!) recipes that both adults and kids will love making together. Whether you’re looking for a chocoholic’s delight, an easy sweet treat or something slightly healthier, we guarantee you’ll love the options in this list:
Chocolate Covered Flapjacks
These flapjacks are super quick to make, and the kids will have so much fun drizzling the chocolate on top!
Apple Traybake Cake
A trayback is always a brilliant and easy recipe - we like to tell ourselves that the inclusion of apples in this one makes it slightly healthier!
Crisped Rice Nests
Who says rice krispie nests can only be made at Easter? These are a delight to make and eat, and the addition of the mini cupcakes makes them a bit more unique!
Banana Pancakes
Whether you fancy making them for breakfast or as an afternoon treat, pancakes are a wonderful recipe that the whole family can get involved in - and you can mix up the toppings, too!
3 Ingredient Nutella Brownie Buns
With just three ingredients involved, these brownies buns couldn’t be simpler to make!
Oat and Raisin Cookies
Of course, you could go for the traditional chocolate chip cookie too, but these oat and raisin cookies add a deliciously healthier variety!
The Perfect Rocky Road
Only a handful of ingredients are needed to make this absolutely scrumptious rocky road, and the kids will love it!
Jam Shortbreads
Why not put a spin on your very own Jammy Dodgers? The little ones can help you to create the dough, and then they’ll have so much fun pouring the jam in!
Rainbow Cake Pops
Rainbow cakes are an absolute blast, and the fact that this recipe has them in cake pop form just makes it even better! Watch your little ones marvel in delight as you add the food colourings in, one by one.
M&M Cookies
Last but not least, we had to throw another cookie option in here! Of course, you could go wild with your ingredients of choice, but this time, we decided to go for M&M’s - sweet, crunchy and delicious.
