Homemade Easy Bake Oven Mixes

This Christmas, we decided to adopt a family in need. One of the family's young children was hoping for an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas. Upon purchasing the Easy Bake Oven for this little girl, I was shocked to find that each special little baking mix that goes with this toy costs anywhere from $7-$20. That's when I came across this tutorial on Pinterest for DIY Easy Bake Oven mixes. So for all of the families out there with young bakers using little plastic ovens...this one is for you!

Easy Bake Cake Mix
3 tbsp boxed cake mix (any flavor)
1 tbsp milk
Grease the easy bake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix the milk and cake mix together until smooth. Bake in a pre-heated easy bake oven for about 15 minutes. 

** You can usually find cake mixes on special at the grocery store for $1. Add a coupon to that and you can save big time! In addition, a single box of store-bought cake mix makes multiple easy bake oven cakes whereas the $7 easy bake mixes only make a single cake. 

Jiffy baking mixes are also great for Easy Bake ovens! Simply divide the recipe in half. Grease the Easy Bake pan and bake in a pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes. Each of these baking mixes at our local grocery stores are typically about 40 cents each. If you have a coupon...just imagine the saving possibilities. There are so many different varieties of these mixes too! Yellow cake, fudge brownies, pizza crust, chocolate chip muffins, blueberry muffins, corn muffins, and so much more!

 Easy Bake Pizza
2 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp baking powder
1 tsp margarine
dash of salt

 Easy Bake Quesadilla
Cut a small tortilla into wedges and place half of the wedges in the bottom of a greased Easy Bake pan. Top each with desired toppings such as shredded cheese and small pieces of chicken or small amounts of ground beef. Top with remaining tortilla wedges. Bake in a pre-heated easy bake oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
