My young one enjoys putting these together for gift-giving. I’ve tried it, and it’s awesome.

1-quart mason jar

Directions:

1. Layer ingredients in the jar in the order listed for a pretty striped effect.
2. Seal the jar tightly.
3. Add a tag with baking instructions:

“To make: Pour entire jar into a bowl. Add 1 egg, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla. Mix well. Scoop onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.”

4. Decorate the jar with ribbon, fabric, stickers, or a cute gift tag.
