Applesauce bread was the recipe we tackled for our first baking day. It seemed simple for kids to make and sounded tasty. Plus, I've had it sitting around for a few years intending to make it -- today was the day.
Koen, however, decided that he didn't like applesauce bread (not that he's ever had it), so he didn't want to help make it. I told him that was fine, but if he didn't make it he couldn't eat it. I thought that would do the trick and he would be eager to help, but no. Even after three attempts to get him involved, he chose to play trains (surprise, surprise) while Ty and I mixed together the recipe.
Both boys (usually) love to help in the kitchen...at least up to the part when they get to lick the spoons. After that they tend to disappear. :) On this day, Tysen enjoyed dumping in the ingredients, mixing them together, and talking about how "num-mmy" (add emphasis) this applesauce bread was. And he did think it was "num-mmy" as he ate most of the loaf himself (over the course of a few days, of course).
As I opened the oven door to put in the loaf pan, Koen's head popped up from his train reenactment set-up and he cried, "But Mom, I wanted to help make the bread!" Too late! He only asked once for some applesauce bread, and he was reminded why he couldn't have any. I felt badly about the situation, but I think it was for the best.
I've included the link to recipe we used below, in case you were interested in trying the applesauce bread for yourself.
