It’s never too early to start your holiday shopping. In my opinion, there is no better gift than an Easy Bake Oven, for the little Chef Shopper on your list. I guarantee that they’ll love it as much as I loved mine!

(Shhhh… don’t tell my husband, but I’m thinking about buying a vintage model for him. It’s something that he wanted, as a kid, but never received.)

Each oven comes with 3 mixes, 2 baking pans, 2 cooking utensils, 2 warming cups, pan pusher, instruction booklet and a partridge in a pear tree… just kidding!

There are tons of extra mixes available, everything from Chips Ahoy cookies to Cinnabon cinnamon rolls to Oreos to soft pretzels & cheese to a whole lot more.

Of course, if your little baker is on a budget you can forgo the pre-made mixes and whip up your own. Performing a search, using your favorite search engine, will bring up many different recipes.

As an example, I found a recipe for Easy Bake Pies:

1/3 c. pie crust mix
4 t. water
2 T. filling (can be things like canned pie filling, jam, pudding, etc.)

Mix crust mix with water. Divide in half. Roll out one half and place in greased and floured pan. Fill with pie filling. Roll out second dough ball and cut into strips. Place on pie, in lattice pattern. Bake 25-30 minutes.
