For kids who want to bake something for breakfast on Mother’s Day, muffins are a great place to start. With most muffins the directions are easy enough for tweens to follow – or for you to oversee grade schoolers while they gather the ingredients and mix everything together. Even preschoolers can help put batter into the muffin papers.
Kids can pair the muffins with a bowl of fresh fruit and orange juice for a mini-buffet that’s a perfect way to greet mom in the morning. For healthy muffins, try out mighty muffins or, for something packed with berries, try out the awesome-est blueberry muffins and, for something decadent, reward mom with one bowl dark chocolate muffins. Now who’s excited about Mother’s Day?
