Once the month of September hits our door, I start stressing about the holiday season. I try as much as I can to plan it but I find I always end up running like a crazy. But this year, I vowed to plan better and organize myself. One area that needs my attention is baking. I bake a lot during this season: be it for school fundraisers, family get togethers or just for the fun of it with the kids.
One of my favorite and easiest recipes to bake is muffins for kids. I like baking them because my little princess can give me a hand. Besides it is a great way to have a mother/ daughter time, as well as educational time. Measuring the flour and other ingredients count as math, right? Since my daughter is a chocolate fan (and who isn’t?), I decided to test an easy and healthy chocolate muffin recipe for kids this upcoming holiday season.
Easy Chocolate Muffins Recipe for Kids
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup of sweetener
- 3/4 cup of cocoa.
- 3/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- PAM Original Cooking Spray
Prepare these delicious chocolate muffins for kids
- Preheat the oven at 350F
- Place muffins liners in muffin tins
- In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetener and cocoa.
- Add the eggs and beat on high speed until it becomes smooth. This is my daughter’s favorite thing: cracking the eggs and beating them.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients. I usually add them while my daughter pours milk slowly.
- Mix well
- Spray PAM Cooking Spray on the cupcakes liners. And let me tell you it was a lifesaver. One of my pet peeves when baking muffins for kids is spraying the cupcake liners. I used to heat some margarine and add it. It was never easy. Sometimes I forget and of course muffins stick! My daughter was happy to help. She is old enough to do it by herself and was proud to do so.
- Scoop muffin mixture in the cupcake liners
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry.
Verdict
These healthy chocolate muffins for kids turned out amazing. My daughter ate one right of the oven. She was proud because she managed to spray PAM Cooking Spray by herself. I was delighted because these chocolate muffins did not stick to cupcakes liners. They were easy to take out. PAM Cooking spray made my life easier and will help me get through the holiday season in a breeze. Plus, since PAM Cooking Spray leaves 99% less residue than margarine or bargain-brand cooking sprays, cleanup is a cinch!
