Mix it up!

Lately I've had cookie cravings but, thankfully for my waistline, I'm just that lazy that I haven't been able to motivate myself to pull out all the ingredients from the pantry and bake. While procrastinating on Pinterest the other day, I found a pin which my waistline is going to rue: Betty Crocker-esque mixes from Fake-it Frugal.

I love this concept as it's the getting everything out to measure and having all the stuff in the kitchen that puts me off baking. This way all the dry goods are measured out and all I have to do is to add the wet ingredients and bake.

This afternoon during nap time I made up a few pre-mixes:

• 2 batches for Anzac Biscuits
• 2 Chocolate Cake
• 1 muffin
• 1 chocolate brownie

Baking Pre-Mixes

Each bag has written on it the additional ingredients required and instructions. I also added the ingredients that I had put in with a view that I could re-use the ziplock bags.

These would also be great for weekends away as you don't have to bring the whole kitchen with you. If you put the dry ingredients into larger ziplock bags, you can simply add the wet ingredients to the bags for mixing and then just bring whatever you need to measure the wet ingredients and something to bak it in! Voila!
