Delicious, Kiddie-Friendly Recipes to Bake these School Holidays
The school holidays are here and with them comes plenty opportunities to spend time in the kitchen with the kids. Turn on the oven and gather them ’round to bake one or more of these deliciously simple sweet and savoury treats!
Fudgy Brownies
We’ve never met a brownie we didn’t like, and these are certainly no exception. Made with tablespoonfuls of Kerrygold butter and heaped chocolate chunks, they’re as fun to eat as they are easy to make. In fact, everything can be prepared in a single saucepan within 10 minutes.
Let the kids get involved by whisking all the ingredients together before pouring the batter onto a baking pan and into the oven for half an hour. Silence those “I’m bored” and “I’m hungry” remarks simultaneously!

Sheep Cupcakes
For a fun, kiddie-friendly treat, look no further than these sheep cupcakes that are (almost) too adorable to eat!
The cupcake mixture and buttercream icing can easily be prepared with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen, while the sheep can be made using mini white marshmallows, liquorice allsorts and fruit pastilles.
Confetti Cookies
Why settle for something in a wrapper when these colourful confetti cookies can be made and devoured as soon as the kids’ sugar craving strikes.
In addition to only needing 10 minutes in the oven, the best part of this recipe is getting to see the look of excitement on the kids’ faces as they roll cookie dough balls in the palms of their hands before dropping them into a big bowl of rainbow sprinkles. The addition of cream cheese in the recipe will ensure that the adults’ taste buds are satisfied, too!
