Pasta was always our go-to when the kids were super little. Almost zero choking hazard, hardest part is boiling water, and sauce can be as lazy or as involved as you'd like it to be (and could be pre-made).

For a fun dessert with slightly older kids, we would hack the top 1/3 off an orange, hollow it out like a pumpkin, fill it with cake batter (just a box mix you combine in a freezer bag), put the "lid" back on, foil it and then bake in the embers.

Almost impossible to burn due to the foil+water in the peel, and you basically get a vanilla orange cake that works every single time. Biggest failure risk was undercooking, which is fairly easy to remedy with time.
