These are perfect to bake with toddlers. They don’t use too many ingredients, not too complicated and they are robust enough that even a toddler can mess around with them and they still turn out. I’ve never found it easy baking with toddlers – I always get stuck after the whisking of the eggs – frightened that they will over mix and the bake will come out rock hard. I am getting better though and honestly really enjoy making these with Tara. She really enjoys it too as the photo below shows. Yeah, I know my utility room is a mess and I haven’t eaten all of those Creme Eggs, honest!
The first few times we made them, I thought she wouldn’t like them – there’s something about oats that makes a child suspicious! Too healthy. All 3 of my kids really like these though and we frequently have to make double.

There were some delicious looking bakes entered into last week’s Bake of the Week.
Kirsty from Hijacked by Twins gave a brilliant play on words with her entry – A ‘Baton’Berg which was made to celebrate the tour of the Sports Relief Bloggers Baton. I nearly got my hands on this at Saturday synchro training in Sale – It left the building a mere 2 minutes before we arrived! Anyway, back to the cake – how fab is this?
Jenny from Mummy Mishaps is a lovely blogger that often comes up with excruciatingly tempting bakes. This week is no exception – I know a 3 year old that would love these Malt Loaf Chocolate Brownies!
And lastly, Sarah from Crew Cut and Newt gave us a tip for when a bake doesn’t go quite right (Happens all the time round my house!) – Serve it as a pud! With this Cherry coulis, I reckon it sounds divine.
Thanks loads to everyone who took part in this week’s Bake of the Week – The link is open for everyone to enter again now. Remember, it doesn’t have to be cake…bread, biscuits, tarts, flans all count. I Pin and tweet every entry and mention in the weekly roundup on a Monday evening. The linky is open until Monday morning 7th April.

These look delicious! My toddler loves to help me bake, I know what you mean about letting them help! But these look like something she would love to help me bake! Shall give them a go in the Easter Holidays when my Son is home too!
Oh I hope they enjoy them – I rather like that there isn’t too much washing up with these too. Happy Easter!
Thanks for the mention. Am looking forward to trying some more out! (Last nights paddington puddings tasted yummy, but failed the looks test….I am starting to detect a theme with my baking!).
Ha! The theme is obviously ‘deliciousness’! Looks are definitely not everything – good luck with your next bake 🙂
The cookies look lovely. I love to bake with my toddler and she watched me make the turtle cake and then played with some of the icing as I decorated it. It’s a great way of keeping her occupied and having fun at the same time. Neither of us actually like eating the icing though so when she eats it she just gets to play with the icing again.
I quite frequently give T a bloc of icing or marzipan to keep her occupied. Makes fabulous play doh without the horrid smell. I love your turtle cake!
Thank you for mentioning my Team Honk Bloggers Bake Off cake 🙂 these biscuits looks great. Biscuits, for me, are either a success or a disaster! So I am trying to bake them more often. All linked up x
I have more than my fair share of disastrous biscuit bakes too! The good old tale of leaving them for just one more minute in the oven … then forgetting them!
These look fab I love anything with oats! i will have to try them out. Thanks for sharing your recipe. #tastytuesday
Hope you are pleased with them when they are done. I like that I can pretend they are healthy due to the oats!
I do enjoy oaty cookies and these look really great. #recipeoftheweek
Thanks Julie!
These look delicious
Thanks Claire – they were rather tasty 😉
These look lovely. I haven’t done any baking this week 🙁 so can’t join in the linky but certainly will do in the future 🙂
That will be great katie – I look forward to seeing your bakes 🙂
Wow I adore all things oaty so will be making these beauties. Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays
Hope they turn out well for you! Look forward to next Tuesday.
These look great. I also love to cook with oats and it looks like a really toddler friendly recipe as well. We made some chocolate cupcakes today but I just barely get the baking done.. we’re not at the stage where I could take photos too!
some mouth watering treats on this post! making me drool! as soon as I can eat these sweet things again (damn gestational diabetes!) then I will try this with Nieve! 🙂 xx
Those oaty cookies are just what I’ve been craving this week! I love your baking posts, so glad we do Share Friday!

ooh sounds yummy!
These look perfect to try out during the upcoming school holidays. I’ll have to convert to metric though – I lived in France for too long that my brain can’t compute imperial anymore!

The beauty of being a dreadful cook is that you never worry the kids will make things worse. Rather, they give you someone to point the finger at!! Ideal. X
I really must do some baking with my kids this week! x
