Here are some Easter recipe suggestions perfect for families with young children to make together:
Chocolate Nests: Melt chocolate (milk, dark, or white). Mix in crispy cereal like cornflakes or shredded wheat. Spoon the mixture into muffin liners to create "nests." Let them set and then top with mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans. Kids love stirring and spooning! https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/eastereggnests_93841
Fruity Easter Shapes: Use Easter-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from melon, pineapple, strawberries, or other firm fruits. Kids can help wash and arrange the fruit on a platter. You can even make fruit skewers. https://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/easter-cookie-cutter
Yogurt Covered Fruit "Eggs": Dip strawberries, banana pieces, or other fruit into yogurt. Place on a parchment-lined tray and let them freeze. Once frozen, drizzle with melted chocolate or add sprinkles.
Carrot Cake Muffins: A simple muffin recipe with grated carrots. Kids can help stir in the carrots and fill the muffin liners. The subtle sweetness is often a hit. You can add cream cheese frosting for extra decoration. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/carrot_spelt_cupcakes_72408
Easter Biscuits/Cookies: Make a simple sugar cookie dough. Let kids help roll out the dough and use Easter-themed cookie cutters (bunnies, eggs, chicks). Bake and then let them decorate with icing and sprinkles. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/easter_biscuits_37686
Savory Options (For a Break from the Sweetness):
Cheesy Bunny Muffins: Make savory muffins with cheese, ham, and veggies. Use spinach to create bunny ear shapes before baking. https://www.ellaskitchen.co.uk/recipes/big-strong-muffins?srsltid=AfmBOop4Bo94QdkIhxVSs5QfA8Oaks_T-k7hjsSoRxtjMgHKGQ2XH1ZN
