Cooking with kids this month is all about MUFFINS!!!!!!! You can mix them up and use all sorts in ingredients already in your house!

This time we are making blueberry with pecans.

You'll need:

2 cups all purpose flour
8 tablespoons brown sugar

We mix the dry ingredients up first. Then add the milk and butter. At this point you can pour half the mixture into another bowl and make two different kinds of muffins.

We made two kinds of muffins with that batch. She made blueberry and I made a spice one with salt on top.
