Easy Recipes for Children to Make (Mostly!) Alone

Parents are sharing their favorite easy recipes for children to make with minimal help! Of course, kids can help out in the kitchen with pretty much anything you're making, but these recipes are particularly well-suited for kids who are ready to try out cooking more independently. You might find that your kids eat a wider variety of food when they have prepared it! If they enjoy their time in the kitchen, consider cooking kits for kids to help them continue to grow their culinary skills.

    Alexandra F. said:  My 4-year-old and I make this super simple banana bread recipe together at least a couple of times a month and it is easy enough that he can help out with most of the steps. It's just a lot of measuring, dumping and stirring into a single bowl, and while things sometimes get a little messy, the bread itself always turns out great! It's a perfect recipe for making any substitutions you might need for food allergies or intolerances, too. We often make it as an egg-free, dairy-free and gluten-free treat, and it is just as delicious as the original recipe! From Key Ingredient
