Leave a Review | [get-favorites] | Jump to Recipe

Kids are tracked out and lots of Fall baking and cooking are going on. Plus we are decorating for Christmas. This is our first real track with the kids. Lele and JJ were at track out camp. Isabella was home with me. She wanted to bake and it had to be something pumpkin. So we decided on pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. These muffins are so moist, full of flavor and delicious. Plus they are fun to bake with the kiddos. My kids would bake every day if I let them. They truly love being in the kitchen and helping.

Each recipe I try and teach the kids something about baking. This recipe we working on scooping ingredients out correctly. It definitely takes time to learn how to do this, but Isabella did pretty good for her first. When it comes to flour you want scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then level it out so it’s smooth. Baking and cooking with kids gives the opportunity for so many things. There is lots of math and reading involved with baking and cooking. Plus so many opportunities to talk about things.

So take the time and spend time in the kitchen with your kiddos…you won’t regret it. Well, maybe the mess they make in the kitchen. Kids can be messy and that is okay.

That’s the Dish from my Kitchen to your Kitchen ????
