Basic Muffins Kids Recipe

Non-Stick Cooking Spray
1 large Egg
1 cup Milk
1/4 cup Cooking Oil or Melted Shortening
2 cups All-purpose Flour, sifted
1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt

Makes 1 Dozen Medium-Sized Muffins

Have your adult helper pre-heat the oven to 400-F degrees. Lightly spray two medium-sized muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to fill, later.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, lightly beat a single egg with a fork. Add milk, cooking oil or melted shortening, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Thoroughly blend all ingredients with a whisk, or have your adult helper assist you with an electric mixer. Don't over-mix the muffins, stir them or beat them just until the flour is moistened; it's fine if the batter appears to be a bit lumpy.

This is where the fun begins. Choose any of the following ingredients and add it to your muffin batter. Stir gently to barely combine the ingredient of your choice.

1 cup Chocolate Chips, M and Ms, or any other Candy Bits
3 drops food coloring of your choice
1 1/2 cups fresh Blueberries, Raspberries, Banana Slices, or Strawberries
1 cup chopped Walnuts, Almonds, or Pistachios
1 tablespoon grated Orange Rind, and 1 teaspoon Orange or Lemon Flavoring Extract
1 1/2 cups of your favorite Cereal, from Wheat Flakes to Fruity Loops
1/2 cup of Raisins, Craisins or chopped Dried Fruit Mixture
Combine about a cup of fresh fruit and chopped nuts of your choice
1/2 cup chopped Maraschino Cherries
1/2 tablespoon of Cream Cheese in each muffin well after filling
Or nearly anything else you want to try!

Fill each of the twelve muffin cups about two-thirds full and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
