Kids Kitchen: Ready, steady, bark! Recipes for all ages.

Post Thumbnail

Frozen yoghurt bark, studded with fresh berries, is such a fun treat for kids and adults alike to make.

Simple and nutritious, it’s a great alternative sweet dessert or a light and refreshing snack.

Equally tasty, and ideal for when you need a quick burst of healthy energy, are peanut butter balls.

Make a batch and store in the fridge for a few days – if you can resist them…

Last but not least are these raspberry cream cupcakes which only take minutes to make, and possibly the same amount of time to demolish!


Berry bark

(Makes 1 slab)

Ingredients

  • 500g plain yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp granola
  • 300g mixed berries

Method

  1. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully slice the strawberries into thin slices.
  3. Pour the yoghurt on to the parchment paper and spread out with the back of the spoon into a thick layer.
  4. Arrange the berries on the yoghurt and sprinkle over the granola.
  5. Freeze overnight and then very carefully cut into segments with a sharp knife – best to get a grown-up to help you with this.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the freezer and eat pieces of the “bark” when it’s nice and cold.

Blueberry and peanut butter balls

(Makes 20)

Ingredients

  • 160g roughly chopped dates
  • 100ml water
  • 120g blueberries
  • 120g peanut butter
  • 60g oats
  • 50g toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. Place the dates and water in a small pan, cover and simmer for two to three minutes.
  2. Carefully stir, mixing to a paste then continue cooking it for another minute or so more to make a thicker paste. Remove from the heat.
  3. Add the blueberries, crushing them slightly, then mix in with the peanut butter and oats.
  4. Once cool enough to handle, wet your hands slightly, and roll into 20 even-sized balls.
  5. Put the sesame seeds on a plate and roll each ball to coat.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.

  2. Put 12 foil or paper cupcake cases into a bun or muffin tin.
  3. Add all the cake ingredients to a bowl except the raspberries and beat until smooth.
  4. Fold in the crumbled raspberries then divide evenly between the paper cases.
