Recipe: Easy Bake Oven Recipes for small quantity baked goods.

These recipes are really for Kids Easy Bake Ovens, but would work for when you want just a few homemade cookies, or a cupcake or 2!

These recipes for Easy Bake Oven "Made from scratch" recipes were published in our local newspaper, The Akron Beacon Journal, and were supposedly from the original cookbooks that came with the oven years ago. They are fun to make up ahead as gifts for young ladies that still use the oven, by mixing all the dry ingredients and put them in a ziplock sandwich bag. Don't forget to include instructions on what to add, and how to prepare. They are also a lot cheaper than buying the mixes if you have a young person who still uses the oven!
