Blueberry muffins by kids

by Sofia   -   in Cooking  Good things for kids

Last year ( or was it the year before that, I seem to keep loosing the track of time lately) I bought the Donna Hay Basic to Brilliance kids cook book. We love it, so many great ideas. I have written a whole blog post about cooking with children ( again) but it is still waiting for pictures. But instead I will now share this muffin recipe that we actually turned vegan. It is a very simple but yummy recipe easy enough for your kids to make. They are called a “lunch box surprise” in the book and would definitely work as a snack. 

Blueberry muffins

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup spelt flour ( or you could just do two of the regular if you´d like)

1 tbls baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extrackt

2/3 cup ( 160 ml) oil

3/4 cup ( 180 ml) maple syrup

1/3 cup ( 80 ml) milk ( or oat milk as we used)

2 1/2 cups blueberries ( frozen are fine too)

1. Preheat the oven to 180°c. Line a 12 capacity muffin tin with paper muffin cases.

2. Mix the dry ingredients in a big bowl.

3. Whisk the wet ingredients and the egg in a jug.

4. Make a dent in the dry ingredients and pour the wet in the dent and mix until just well combined ( do not over mix or you´ll end up with chewy muffins). Gently fold the blueberries in.

5. Spoon the mixture in to the tins and bake for about 25 minutes.

So easy and not too much clean up either so a great recipe for kids to make! Just remember to be careful with the oven and use your oven gloves. 

Happy baking!
