Easy Bake Oven Snowball Cookies

November 27, 2009 by Tiffany King 7 Comments

We pulled the Easy Bake Oven out last night to make some cookies. It was a Christmas gift for my daughter last year. I’m happy to say that it’s gotten a fair amount of use. We keep it in a room near the kitchen and I store the little pans and tools in the kitchen. I also bought a cookbook called Baking with Mommy Cookbook. It’s got easy recipes that taste good. I refuse to buy the expensive mixes.

Sometimes, we bake a small portion of whatever we’re having for dinner in the EBO. We’ve done Nachos, baked spaghetti, cheese tortillas, pizza… It’s a fun way to spend time together. [Read more…] about Easy Bake Oven Snowball Cookies

Easy Bake Oven – Oatmeal Pancake Bars

January 28, 2009 by Tiffany King 15 Comments

Don’t let the number of ingredients in the picture scare you. It’s all very tiny amounts (of course) and it just gives the kids more to measure – always fun!

Gather up your ingredients and find your little cook:

1 Tbs. brown sugar

1/2 Tbs. peanut butter

1/2 Tbs. pancake syrup

1/16 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup oats

1/2 Tbs. butter

1 Tbs. chocolate chips

Combine all the ingredients and press into greased and floured pans. Bake 12-15 minutes. Makes 2-3 cakes.

These tasted very good. This recipe is from Baking with Mommy Cookbook. I highly recommend it.

Easy Bake Oven – Marshmallow Mud

January 5, 2009 by Tiffany King 20 Comments

When my youngest daughter asked for an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas, my first thought was of eating expensive light-bulb baked cakes. But I found out that you can use real food in the Easy Bake Oven and Santa was given the green light to bring one in his sack.

He also brought a copy of Baking with Mommy Cookbook, which has some great little recipes in it, including this one for Marshmallow Mud.

Gather up your ingredients:

2 Tbs. Rice Cereal (we used Honey Bunches)
5 small marshmallows
1 Tbs. chocolate chips
1/2 tsp. butter

Butter the pan

Put the cereal in the buttered pan

Put the chocolate chips in

Add the marshmallows and smoosh them down a bit. We learned the hard way that there is not much room inside the Easy Bake Oven.

Bake for 5 minutes. Stir and drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. The kids were happy with the taste of these.

We also made a little chocolate fondue in the warming cup, by filling the cup with chocolate chips.

Yum!
