Kid-Friendly Baking Recipes

If you are looking for easy activities to do at home with your kids, then look no further than these Kid-Friendly Baking Recipes! They are delicious ways to learn math concepts like fractions, amounts, weights & measure, and the difference between liquids and solids…or something like that! 🙂 They are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or paleo. And they’re all delicious!

Kid-Friendly Baking Recipes you can do together as a family or the kids can do on their own! Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or paleo! And all delicious! | spiritedandthensome.com

If you’re cooped up at home with the kids and you’re in the mood for easy, delicious activities, then give baking (or no-baking) a try! Our family has turned to baking as a way to stay engaged, productive, and energized while we quarantine at home. As the Coronavirus spreads across the world, people are understandably feeling stressed. And it turns out, baking is actually an excellent stress reliever. So maybe it’s no wonder people would head to the kitchen to channel some of the uncertainty that surrounds our usual routines.

Curious why baking relieves stress? Then check out Delish’s article, Baking is the Best Way to Alleviate Stress – Yes, Really.

No-Bake Recipes

Almond Butter Crunch Cups

First up on our list of Kid-Friendly Baking Recipes are these decadent, super-easy-to-make Almond Butter Crunch Cups. Our family can’t get enough of these right now! They are a low-stress no-bake recipe that even little littles can get in on without too much effort. And the finished product stores easily in the freezer for a few weeks. Although if you’re like our family, they won’t last longer than 24 hours. We usually make half our batch with pecans and half without.

No-Bake Level: Easy

Creamy Paleo Fudge

Creamy Paleo Fudge was one of the first paleo dessert recipes we learned to make. It was also the very first official recipe on the Spirited blog. So we’ve had a lot of practice with this one. For best results, read through the blog post. There are a few best practices to make sure the ingredients blend well, the blender blades don’t clog, and you achieve the flavor balance you desire.

No-Bake Level: Medium

Edible Cookie Dough

Egg-free Edible Cookie Dough is a delicious soy-free vegan recipe that can also be made paleo! | spiritedandthensome.com

Who doesn’t love a good Edible Cookie Dough recipe? I’m all for cookie dough. Secretly, I sometimes prefer it to the final baked product, and I almost never achieve the suggested yields. Because I’m always sneaking bites as I prepare the batter. Thank you for understanding my humanness. This is a throw-everything-together-in-the-bowl-and-chill-the-batter-for-a-few-minutes kind of recipe. It couldn’t be simpler!

No-Bake Level: Easy

Lemon Vanilla Cheesecake Bars

This No-Bake Lemon Vanilla Cheesecake is a vegan and gluten-free dessert recipe flavored with pecans, agave nectar, and dates! | spiritedandthensome.com

Dairy-free cheesecake made with cashews is a quick no-bake dessert method that’s a recipe for deliciousness! These Lemon Vanilla Cheesecake Bars are made with a pecan crust that tastes just like a cookie. The cashew filling is flavored with lemon juice and vanilla extract for a sweet treat! Top with fresh fruit for an even bigger flavor burst! (I originally wondered whether the extra fruit toppings would detract from the lemon/vanilla combo. But it turns out they play really well together in this recipe!)

No-Bake Level: Medium

Baking Recipes

Paleo Vanilla Muffins

No everything we bake includes chocolate! These Paleo Vanilla Muffins are proof of that! Ready in about 30 minutes, about the hardest thing you’ll have to do is beat the egg whites into stiff peaks and then fold them into the batter. If you can do that, you’re set for some scrumptious muffins. For best results, I suggest consuming them within about a day.

Baking Level: Easy/Medium

Baked Paleo Vanilla Donuts

Baked Vanilla Paleo Donuts are deliciously easy to make! | spiritedandthensome.com

If you’re in the mood for something other than a muffin, then you’ll enjoy these Baked Paleo Vanilla Donuts. Like the muffins, about the most difficult thing to deal with is separating the yolks from the egg whites, beating the egg whites to form stiff peaks, and then folding them into the batter. We flavor ours with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit! These donuts are a delicious way to start the day!

Baking Level: Easy/Medium

Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are warm and fluffy and gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly! | spiritedandthensome.com

These Cinnamon Swirl Muffins are comfort food in a muffin pan, I tell you what! And even though you might think cinnamon muffins are more of a fall/winter deal, our family is here to tell you we love these muffins of deliciousness on the regular. They know no season, and they are nothing if not comforting.

Baking Level: Easy

Chocolate Chunk Crinkle Cookies

Our family LOVES these Chocolate Chunk Crinkle Cookies! Made with several different types of chocolate, the batter tastes just like chocolate frosting! I have included several best practices in this recipe so you get the best “crinkle for your cookie.” 🙂

Baking Level: Medium

Fudgy Paleo Brownies

Fudgy Paleo Brownies are rich, creamy, and delectable! They are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and grain-free! | spiritedandthensome.com

Rich and chocolatey, these Fudgy Paleo Brownies are a chocolate-lover’s dream come true! Omigosh, I cannot gush about these enough. Just look at that chocolate decadence in the middle of the brownie. This is definitely one of our favorite kid-friendly baking recipes. Not only is the flavor out of this world good, but most of the recipe is made in a saucepan, which makes it perfect for littles. Let ’em stir a bit here and a bit there, and you’ll have brownies in no time flat!

Baking Level: Easy

Chocolate Almond Butter Brownies

Chocolate Almond Butter Brownies are a tasty almond flour brownie recipe, flavored with dairy-free chocolate chips and cocoa powder! | spiritedandthensome.com

Last but never least on our list of Kid-Friendly Baking Recipes are these Chocolate Almond Butter Brownies. This is another recipe that we make frequently. These brownies are just too good to pass up. And they are different than most brownie recipes because the almond butter complements the chocolate. When I first made these, I thought, “Wow! These would be perfect for chocolate lovers AND people who like chocolate, but not super-rich chocolate.” This is a brownie for the masses! Ooh, and we like to top ours with sea salt.

Baking Level: Easy

Stay safe, be well, and know that I am thinking about you. ❤️❤️❤️
