Baking with your kid can be very fun. Try this homemade pocky stick for instance. He/she would love to roll the dough into sticks, or dip them in melted strawberry-flavored-chocolate. Most of the sticks will surely end up in his/her stomach but there are still a couple left for you to take photos for documentation. Strawberry Pocky Recipe Or what about chocolate-glazed donuts? Use fun shape cookie cutter to make the holes. We use star shape cutter so we will have mini star shape donuts later. Oh, these donuts are eggless, by the way. And they are baked, not deep fried. Pretty healthy, no? (Okay, maybe not really, since you still need white flour and all) Eggless Baked Donuts Recipe If you concern about the kneading and the wating-for-the-dough-to-rise process you could use a simple and quick donut recipe.

Whole wheat banana cake with rolled oats for extra fiber We love banana cake. It would make a perfect sunday breakfast. Or brunch, or snack, or anytime. I always use a couple tablespoons of honey instead of sugar. I also substitute some of the flour with whole wheat flour for more fiber and texture.  Baked in mini muffin tin for handy snack This one is eggless. And yes, it's still resulting in a nice texture This is the modified recipe I often use: Whole Wheat Banana Cake By Cokelatia Ingredients: 1 cup all purpose flour 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup oil 2-4 tbsp honey (or to your taste) 2 eggs 1 cup mashed banana 1/4 - 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional) Methods: Combine flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Mix oil and honey using a balloon whisk. Add eggs, one by one. Mix in mashed banana. Fold in flour mixture, and then rolled oats, until just combine. Do not overmix....

Make the pate brisee using your favorite recipe. This  or this one  have very detailed methods.  Mix up the filling: mango chunks, pineapple chunks, sugar to your liking, a little cornstarch, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pour into the base. Prepare the top crust. You could spare some time to make a lattice top if you like, or go simple like me: just make a hole in the center with a simple but cute shape. I choose star shape. Cover the pie carefully, seal the edge. Bake until golden and the filling is bubbling (this is why we need the hole). Ta-daaa! Now, enjoy! Warm or cold, marvelous. 

Craving for these traditional snacks but you don't have the mold? No problem. Just bake them in a (mini) muffin tin. The texture comes out a bit different but I'm not complaining. Pukis Recipe
