Easy Easter Recipes

Come spring, I’m ready to break out all the bright and sunny recipes to share with the kids. And since the Easter Bunny loves carrots, I use them a lot in my recipes at this time of year because it’s just fun! I’ve put together my favorite recipes to make in the spring, including ones that work well for brunch, breakfast, snack, and dessert. I love these Easter recipes for kids since they are easy to make (many take just one bowl), and they embrace the flavors of spring. Scroll down to see my favorites and click to see the full info on each specific recipe. (And don’t miss my Toddler Easter Basket Ideas.)
