I make an oat bread with my little guy, too, but we make this one: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/vermont-whole-wheat-oatmeal-honey-bread-recipe He helps with pushing the bread down and stealing little balls of dough to eat. Sometimes we make banana chocolate chip muffins together (these: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/banana-chocolate-chip-muffins-recipe) To avoid a meltdown around just eating the chocolate, I let my son pour the chocolate chips into the measuring cups. Any chips that spill into the pie pan placed conveniently underneath are for eating. He is good about not having his hand slip on purpose. He is six, and we have been doing it this way for a while. Happy baking! Thanks for sharing some of your favorite recipes! What a brilliant idea with the chocolate chips and the pie pan - I will give that a try for sure! -Allison
