With summer looming above our heads, the ideas of what fun, tasty snacks we can make with and for our family enter our minds.
With many people swimming or just deciding to take a nice walk and picnic outside, the best thing kids and family members look towards is the yummy food. Food and treats are what puts the “fun” in summer. And realistically, what is better than homemade treats that can be eaten after a nice day outside? Not much can beat that.
Apple Pie
As a warm smell fills your nose after it’s baked. A slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream is a great way to start your summer fun. After a nice swim or tasty lunch that leaves you feeling content, the mix of an apple slice and vanilla ice cream is the perfect mixture that can continue to leave you all warm and chilled inside after your relaxing day. It’s also a nice treat for any kids that you have. They get to wait all day, knowing that a sweet treat will be joining their stomach sometime soon.
Fun Fruit Pizza
Fun Fruit Pizza is just like it sounds. A pizza with fruit. It sounds gross, but we’re not using the regular pizza ingredients. A nice piece of dough for bread cooked just flat like crust is your base. Your “sauce” happens to be a flavoring of your choice. Think of Nutella, peanut butter, or sweetened condensed milk.
Just spread it on top and you got your second step down. And just like the name entails, you’ll need a nice batch of fruit. Cutting it up the fruit, you can spread it around on your “crust” with your choice of “sauce,” and boom. You got yourself a ‘Fun Fruit Pizza’. Not only is it a snack that contains both healthy and sweet, but it can also be a fun activity to make and bake!
Waffles
Most summer mornings need a delicious breakfast to get the day started, and what’s better than freshly baked waffles? Waffles might be one of the most commonly eaten breakfasts, but that’s the fun part. Instead of your usual waffles with syrup, make up a twist!
Add cinnamon, chocolate chips, fruit, powdered sugar, or a sugary spread. Something new to what you usually make makes this an intriguing bake. Plus, that’s the point of baking. To try out new things and see if it’s worth making again or if the taste is as good as people say. So, try it out.
Cheesecake
Cheesecake just so happens to be one of the hardest and most well-known treats that is baked. Cheesecake is good for your summer fun because you can say you have baked it once in your life, especially if you’ve never tried to bake a cake before. It’s a great experience to have because you get a nice, creamy cake to have after a picnic lunch or just on a nice, warm day with a soft breeze.
While it is complicated to bake and might take a couple of tries, it can be a good learning process with a friend, partner, or kids. The different types of flavors that can be made as cheesecake make it all the more delightful. You have raspberry, apple crumb, blueberry, strawberry, and more. What fun is that?
Final Words
Finding fun things to bake in the summer is a bit hard because a lot of recipes out in the world are used for different occasions and are pretty common. But baking is for you to put a twist on something that you can already do. Having fun treats that are yummy to have and make in the summer is the best time to find out what twist can work best for you.
Other little treats can be baked if you just know what to look for. Now start that summer fun with your family, friends, and partners, and get to baking! And remember (making sweet treats with your kids in the summer is a great way to make core memories. It also gives them something hands-on to do for all those tired moms out there!)
