Baking Together
& an easy banana bread recipe!
I’ve found that so often, kids just want to do what the adults are doing. Baking (& cooking!) is a easy and fun way of doing this. If done safely, it’s a great way to invite our kids into our world. The two things we use every single time we bake or cook together is our Toddler tower and this Kids Baking Set. He’s able to reach comfortably up to the counter height, help with cutting, mixing, and most importantly taste testing!
My favorite banana bread recipe
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup of sugar
1/3 cup applesauce OR 1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of flour
Steps:
Preheat your oven to 350F
In a medium mixing bowl, fully mash the bananas.
Mix in the melted butter.
Add the baking soda, salt, sugar, applesauce OR egg, vanilla extract, & flour.
I like to use applesauce instead of eggs when baking with little ones so you don’t have to worry if sneak a taste!
Mix together until creamy.
Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
Pour in the mix.
Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes. (until toothpick comes out clean)
