Thanks to The Insiders we got to try out the Dr. Oetker 'Bake Someone Happy' box. The box had 4 types of baking mix inside: American (fluffy) pancakes, regular pancakes, chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Dr. Oetker claims that these baking mixes are perfect for fast and easy delicious desserts, without the need to add a lot of extra ingredients. Mostly, it's just adding eggs and milk.
So, what's our verdict?
First we tried the fluffy pancakes, which I absolutely LOVED! I tried to make them a few years ago but never seemed to get the recipe just right to create the perfect fluffy pancake. And well, there you go. Without any hassle at all, this baking mix allows you to create a delicious fluffy pancake in no-time, of course with a great flavor. Just add some syrup, fruit or whatever you like and enjoy!
Next up was the cookie mix. Now mind you I (Melina) had never ever made cookies before (since I don't have a natural talent for baking) and this made me a little nervous. No need! These cookies were ready in +/- 30 minutes and I could not believe how good the taste was. This has to be one of my favorite mixes so far! And yes, the cookie monster who lives with me enjoyed it as well.
Lastly, we tried the regular pancake mix. Since I'm not a huge fan of just regular, I let Armin be the judge. It was a little harder to get the pancakes just right, but I have to admit we don't have a very good pancake pan so that might have been the problem. I feel like that might have slightly altered our experience a little bit and also the taste was a bit bland. Maybe adding some other flavor to the mix would be a good idea.
We still have to try the brownies and the frosting... so stay tuned for an update very soon!
Overall we had a lot of fun trying this and I would definitely recommend Dr. Oetker baking mixes, with the cookies being my favorite.
