Summer-fy your basic chocolate chip cookie recipe by making is s'mores!

The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson is a favorite at my house; and Mouse’s favorite food (Gruffalo crumble) was begging to be made.

These hearty, mildly-sweet muffins made with whole wheat flour are a muffin you can feel good about.

Some people call these baked pancakes, or pancake bowls, or Dutch babies. I'm calling them Baked Pancake Bowls because that fits well with our If You Give a Mouse a Cookie baking camp. No matter what you call it, the end product is simple and delicious. You can eat it as a breakfast, snack, or dessert.

My son Luke's favorite thing for him and I to make together is Pineapple Upside Down Cake. If your child isn't a big fan of frosting or if you don't want them to have the sugar load of frosting, this is a great option. Luke and I have made Pineapple Upside Down Cake in a 8-inch round cake pan, 12-cavity muffin pan, and a 6-cavity jumbo muffin pan. We've also made them with regular yellow cake mix, gluten-free yellow cake mix, and from scratch. Every time - delicious!

Get ready for summer outdoor celebrations, and let your kids contribute to the festivities! This recipe is a fun activity plus delicious recipe all rolled into one! To get started, first decide how deep into the baking world you want to go.

At Itty Bitty Bakers, we love strawberry season! Here's a recipe from summer camp 2020 that we absolutely love and it calls for fresh strawberries. We chose this recipe so kids could get the chance to use kid-safe knives and chop the strawberries themselves. We also chose it so we could talk during the baking and cooling time about the nutritional benefits of strawberries.

In 2019, the kids in our baking classes made Bird's Nest Coconut Macaroons. The toasted coconut, melted chocolate, and mini Cadbury eggs were a winning combination. This recipe is easy to do at home, and kids love it (even the ones who think they don't like coconut).

If I ever start another business it's going to be a scones shop. The problem is that it's hard to convince people that scones are amazing and delicious - not dried out biscuits with a little bit of glaze on top. I have, however, convinced my son Luke and they are his favorite thing I bake. Out of all the flavors he's tasted, he deems these Mini White Chocolate Cherry Scones "the best scones EVER!"
