and hearth warming about coming in from the cold to some home baked goodies. After all - it is Bake for Family Fun Month!And baking can be done by the entire family. Even the youngest children can help ice a cupcake or decorate a cookie. If you're afraid that you'll eat all of those yummy treats, then save some to share or take part in the Great American Bake Sale!
Just to get you started, here are a couple of my favorite recipes that are quick and easy and perfect for a snowy day:
Better Box B
rowniesWhenever I make brownies using a packaged mix, I substitute applesauce (plain unsweetened) for the oil required. For a little something extra, I'll also add some dried cherries. Just bake as usual - yummy!
Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Cookies
1 box chocolate cake mix
1/3 cup water
2 eggs
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
- Heat the oven to 375°.
- Mix 1/2 package of the chocolate cake mix with the eggs, peanut butter, mashed banana and water until well blended.
- Add the other 1/2 package of cake mix and mix thoroughly.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Dip a fork in some flour and press lightly onto the top of each dough ball to make a little criss cross pattern.
- Bake or 10 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes.
- Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Don't worry about the snow. Gather the family and bake up some fun!
