GET THE KIDS IN THE KITCHEN Story and photos by Paige Rhodes
Getting in the kitchen is not only a great way to keep your kids occupied for a while, but it's also a perfect opportunity to show them how math is used in the real world. To make things easier on yourself, try prepping most of the ingredients before calling them into the kitchen, and have them help you clean as you go. WHOLE WHEAT CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI MUFFINS Yields: 18-24 muffins Ingredients • 1½ cups white wheat flour • ⅔ cup sugar • 1½ tsp baking powder • ¼ tsp salt • 2 large mashed ripe bananas • 1 large egg • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted • ¼ cup milk • ¾ cup semisweet mini chocolate chips Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line or spray 18 mini muffin cups. 2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. 3. Mix mashed bananas, egg, melted butter, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients just until blended. Stir in mini chocolate chips. 4. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake muffins until tops are golden and set, and tester inserted into the center comes out with just a couple crumbs, about 14-16 minutes. Transfer muffins to a rack to cool.
