Gluten Free Easy Bake Oven Cake Mix Recipe

views the best pictures

Did your son or daughter want an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas but you were reluctant to get him/her one because of the "wheat" issue? Well my brother gave one to my daughter last year along with a years supply of Gluten Free Quick Bake mixes that he ordered on Amazon. It was an incredible gift and he is the most thoughtful uncle EVER!  Alas, the year has gone by so quick and so have those mixes he purchased.

We needed a new plan. The recipe below is our new "frugal" solution to gluten free easy bake mixes.  I am using ingredients that are easy to find without special ordering.  Make the dry portions up ahead of time and store them in the snack sized zip lock bags.

2 Tablespoons Betty Crocker Gluten Free Bisquick
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa
3/4 teaspoon Butter, room temperature (oil works too)
2 Tablespoons Almond Milk

• Mix flour, sugar, cocoa.  
• Add butter and milk. Mix very well. Batter will be thick. 
• Scoop batter into greased baking pan that comes with the toy oven. 
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. 

Notes:

• We have the Ultimate Easy Bake Oven
• We purchased the checker cake accessory pack that includes two round rings so you can make a round layer cake.
• Double this recipe to make a sheet cake in the sheet cake pan included in the ultimate oven packaging.
• This recipe makes a tad bit more batter than is needed.  It won't overflow but caution is needed.
