Now no matter if you are creating your own recipe or adding to a recipe, having a basis is a good start.
So I decided that a fit for our family today was banana bread. We have a super simple recipe that we use all the time and it can be altered to your liking- and then some. First I pulled out all the ingredients that the bread called for and a lot of fun extras. Odds and baking ends like chocolate chips, walnuts, reeses pieces, cocoa and lots of extra bananas with unlimited flour, eggs, and sugar.
Simple Banana Muffin Recipe
- 2-3 very ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Mash up your bananas and add your melted butter. Next add your baking soda and salt. Once that is all sufficiently mixed up, stir in your sugar, egg and vanilla extract.
Lastly add your flour and then put in your oven. We made muffins which only needed 20 minutes to cook, however if you make bread, you may need up to an hour. Check on your bread/muffins and they are done when your knife comes out clean.

Before I show you the results of Charlottes creations (both of them) lets learn more about Toca Kitchen 2. No doubt that you have many Toca Boca apps on your tablets or phone like we do. In fact, I believe we have the entire collection as its a favorite developer here.

My son totally loves helping me out in the kitchen! This recipe sounds yummy!
Looks like the kids had a great time! My kids use to love helping me in the kitchen, looks like a good recipe.
This is a neat way to learn to cook! It looks like your daughter had a blast making those muffins. My daughter loves to help me cook too. She likes to watch cooking shows.
They are so cute! I was just thinking about this last month when we made Christmas cookies. They spend so much time in front of the tv {shame face}. But we had so much fun baking cookies for Santa! We will be doing more of that!
I think when my kid turns to four I will teach him to cook. It’s always nice to teach your kids a simple cooking recipes. Beautiful bonding!
Those muffins look delicious! My kids love helping out in the kitchen. We have a great time bonding while making family dinners.
It’s so nice to have the kids help in the kitchen. I love that my kids Q\WANT to help still. Even the grown kids will come in and be with me when they are home visiting. I like your pictures. 🙂
We love banana bread but never tried baking it myself. I just buy at Walmart all the time. I haven’t tried baking yet actually since I got here in the U.S. I do want to do it soon though.
I have an amazing banana bread recipe! Agree about baking with kids. They love it!
Always awesome to teach the kids how to cook, it’s really sad how some kids around the age of 17 are unsure about boiling water!
What a fun way for kids to learn to cook and explore different foods! It’s a great way to spend time with your kids too!
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of Toca, but I am soooo wanting to now. And three of my kids simply adore cooking with me, so win, win!
Yum they look really good, not dense at all! If they are yummy that’s all that matters! My kids love baking goodies with me they think it’s just so fun!
My boys just love to bake (or do anything at all really) in the kitchen with me! Our speciality is muffins and decorated cupcakes. We love the TOCA apps too, so they would love this one for sure!
Oh wow I’ve never heard of Toca games but now that I have, I’ll run with the info. Your kids looking adorable and I bet it was fun mixing up the muffins which look amazing BTW.
My kids love to help me in the kitchen while I bake and we love to make banana bread. I have not heard of this program before. I will check into it.
My 16 year old loves to cook though mostly on his own. I can’t wait to start cooking and baking with my youngest.
Oh yum, those banana muffins look delicious! I’ll have to make them for my son. Your little ones are adorable 🙂
I love this! It’s a great way to foster creativity and a love of cooking. Five stars!
My kids love to cook with me. I bet this app would be great for my 8 year old girl. Love the bread.
Neither one of my boys love helping out in the kitchen. They do it when I ask them to, but I think they would rather just eat what I make once it’s done 🙂
My daughter loves Toca games 🙂 also making yummy recipes in the real kitchen 😉 Charlotte’s muffins came out beautifully and I bet both were super yummy! Great job kiddo!
