The kids’ nap schedules have been wonky lately, so I’ve been getting some solo time with Julie while big brother naps – which means she’s been getting some kitchen projects of her own. Our favorite has become blender muffins.

The idea behind blender muffins is that you just dump all the ingredients in to mix, then pour into the muffin pan. It’s super quick and easy and only takes about five minutes – which is about her attention span.

The payoff is a great, healthy snack or an easy breakfast!

Kids can:

• Peel the banana
• Help measure ingredients
• Add ingredients to the blender
• Help star/stop the blender
• Help pour the batter into the muffin tin

Adults will need to:

• Crack the eggs
• Put the muffins into the oven and take them out
