Did someone you know get an Easy Bake Oven from Santa? Or are you completely grossed out by how much the mixes cost to churn out goodies from the Easy Bake Oven? My niece Abi asked for more mixes for Christmas so I decided to stock her up with three different mixes, each good for several batches, and recipe cards explaining how to turn these homemade mixes into tasty cookies and cakes. I opted for chocolate chip cookie mix, chocolate cake and funfetti cake mixes, so Abi will have some variety. Since Abi is a frequent visitor to this blog, I had to wait until after she opened her gifts to post these recipes so as to not spoil the surprise. But now she'll have these recipes to replenish her supply after she's treated everyone to plenty of cake and cookies.
When my sister sent me Abi's Christmas list and I saw the mixes, I immediately knew I'd be whipping up homemade versions. So I took the internet and luckily found a great resource in Christi at Cookbooks 365 who put together these mixes for her own niece. I loved the variety that Christi used--both cake and cookie recipes. She also has some frosting recipes, but I opted out of the frostings because my sister makes a killer buttercream and I'm sure Abi would prefer that. I did make an adjustment to Christi's white cake mix, adding in sprinkles for a funfetti factor. After packaging each mix in an airtight container, I added a recipe card explaining how to use each mix in the Easy Bake Oven and packaged it up for a fun holiday gift. Can't wait to hear how Abi likes them!
