One of my favorite ways to make memories with our daughter is in the kitchen. She gets to feel like a big helper and I get to craft recipes that will hopefully be used in our family for years to come... it's a win/win for both of us! We both love being together and crafting something delicious. More importantly, I love giving her memories that she'll carry for a lifetime.
But just because we love cooking together doesn't always make it easy. Anybody that's ever cooked with a small child can tell you it can be a little bit of a challenge. One trick that I love is having pre-portioned measurements of the ingredients I need. It's so easy just to "grab and go!"
Recently, Emmie and I made a few recipes with several different varieties of Kellogg's Cereal. I've listed the recipes below!
Raisin Bran Crunch Muffins
2 ½ cups Raisin Bran Crunch cereal
1 cup flour
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 egg
Cupcake liners
Directions
Mix Raisin Bran Crunch cereal, flour, sugar, and baking powder together until well-blended.
In a small bowl, lightly beat egg, milk, and vegetable oil together. Pour mixture into cereal mixture and blend well.
Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan and pour batter to almost fill liners. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake 5 more minutes, until tops of muffins are slightly brown.
Remove from muffin pan and let cool.
Fruit Loop Treats
Frosted Flakes French Toast
Heat about a tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium heat in a non-stick skillet and fry French toast for 2-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Layer fried pieces of toast on a plate, drizzle with honey, and top with fresh fruit.
Frosted Mini Wheats Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 ½ cups of Frosted Mini Wheats cereal, lightly crushed
pinch of salt
1 cup chocolate chips
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flour
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Mix dry ingredients (cereal, salt, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and flour) in a large bowl. Pour in extract, egg, and butter. Mix well.
Fold in chocolate chips until well-incorporated.
Place on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet in ¼ cup increments. Bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes. Remove from pan and serve warm.
