50 Foods To Bake With Kids

Today I am sharing 50 fantastic foods to bake with kids. I have asked mum’s from the blogging community to share their favourite treat to bake with their children and got some fantastic ideas. I hope you enjoy the post and find this super useful. It’s given me some food for thought.

50 Fantastic Baking Ideas

Laura Summers – Laura’s Lovely Blog

We have two favourite go-to baking recipes at the moment. Banana bread which is great for using up over ripe bananas, and oat cookies which are fab messy fun as the children can get really stuck in and shape the biscuits. Plus they taste delicious gooey and hot from the oven.

Becky Pink – Pinks Charming

We love making flapjack as it’s nice and simple yet so delicious! As long as the adult melts the butter and sugar together it’s great to get the kids to help measuring the ingredients, stirring in the oats, and adding the mix to the tin.

Jenny Lord – Midwife And Life

Cupcakes and Flapjacks are always popular in my house.

Becky O’Haire – Cuddle Fairy

We love to make pancakes, brownies & chocolate chip cookies the best. Baking is the favourite as they like to scoop the flour, and other ingredients. But measuring out chocolate chips is the best!

Rachel Bitmead – Indecisive Mum

My kids love baking Jam tarts and scones. Oh and Victoria sponge with sprinkles on. Easy and delicious.

Alex Iveson – Better Together Home

We love making avocado or sweet potato chocolate brownies.

Jaymee Heaton – The Mum Diaries

We have literally just finished baking. Our favourite item to bake has to be cake!

Lindsay Moles – Newcastle Family Life

Jam tarts, they are quick and simple and I remember making them with my mum when I was a child too.

Lauren Porter – Sophies Nursery

We love making carrot cake together!

Sarah Pincay – Twins Make Five

I love making cookies with boys. They very easy to make and seem to turn out well even if the boys have been a bit rough stirring the mixture (unlike fairy cakes that you need to be more gentle with). I always do two different flavours so that they can have a bowl each. Our favourite savoury recipe is pizzas, we do a simple bread mixture for the base so everyone can have a go at mixing and kneading. Once I’ve rolled them out the kids can spread in the tomato topping, sprinkle the cheese and pick their toppings. They are always proud of having made their own dinner and they taste way better than shop bought ones.

Laura Silvertongue – This Is Where I Blog

We make a lot of flapjack – so tasty, but so easy to make! It’s Easy to modify too, to make it chocolatey, fruity or whatever else!

Lisa Gumn – Mummy Gummie Blog

Chocolate Rice Krispy Cakes or Cornflake Cakes are great to bake with kids. Simple, fun and delicious!

Lynne New – New Mummy Blog

Fairy cakes are so simple and quick to bake in the oven. It also means there is only 6 or so at a time so the requests for cake after baking don’t go on for too long! Fairy cakes are also easy for Toddler H to decorate.

Kirsty Winn – Winnettes

We love making cupcakes together. My eldest is only 4 but she is really good at piping icing so she always asks to make cupcakes at the weekends.

Jennifer Dixon – My Mummy’s Pennies

Brownies! My daughter loves making up different flavour combinations for them and they are really simple to make!

Karina Davies – Mum’s The Nerd

We love baking rainbow cakes together, my little one is now 6 and really gets involved. She adores the end result, although we could do with working on our icing skills.

Emma Lofthouse-Burch – They Grow So Quick

I love making muffins with little ones. They are a very forgiving bake and don’t require too much mixing. And of course they are delicious!

Sarah White – Whimsical Mumblings

Flapjacks. They are easy, fun and so YUMMY!

Erica Knight – The Incidental Parent

Gingerbread Men without a doubt! My son is 6 and we’ve baked them together since he was wee. He particularly likes eating the raw mixture.

Irina Pehkonen – Wave To Mummy

Chocolate Chip Muffins! Every time we have bananas that are going off, I mash them and add them to a basic muffin mix, add chocolate chips and cocoa powder and they always taste great!

Esther Hancock – Inside Out And About

Biscuits. We love to decorate biscuits.

Tracey Witts – Wild Lived

My daughter adores baking and was inspired by junior bake off recently and made strawberry shortcake biscuits, they are now a staple in our household! 

Kelly-Anne Combes – Mimi Rose And Me

Blueberry muffins are my child’s favourite!

Jo Isherwood – Cup Of Toast

We love to make rock cakes! We add extra dried fruit in like cranberries and apricots, and sometimes sneak some dark chocolate chunks in too.

Jemma Goulds  Thimble And Twig

We love to make Marshmallow Krispie Treats

Jenny Kearney – The Gingerbread House

We make all kinds of gingerbread biscuits – Minecraft, Clangers, Death Star! We love them!
