My kids have discovered their love of baking. My son makes homemade pretzels, my girls make cookies, and my other son makes jalapeño poppers and other savory foods. Even my little toddler will come into the kitchen with his stool and want to pour and mix ingredients for me. They’ve all figured out that if they ask to cook something—I won’t say no. It’s a life skill that they need to learn and I love seeing them in the kitchen!
Needless to say with five children we go through a lot of baking ingredients. But that’s a good thing! Homemade foods are always a good idea and I’m in the kitchen just as much as they are. Lately I’ve been on a muffin kick. I’ll make a double batch of muffins and keep them around for quick breakfasts or an easy lunch variation to a sandwich. You can freeze them and they will thaw in the refrigerator (we pack school lunches the night before) for school the next day.
Tip for Sticky Muffin Tops
Allow the muffins to cool until barely warm (NOT HOT) and place them in a large ziploc bag or airtight container to finish cooling. This creates a small amount of condensation and gives the muffins a moist and sticky texture.
