Basic Banana Muffins
Preparing food can be an enjoyable experience for your whole family to be involved in. As an activity, baking involves reading, measuring, mixing, stirring, counting, scooping, pouring, etc. It is loaded with learning and now is a good time to nourish your child’s love for helping out in the kitchen. Baking is a great way to break up the day, talk with your child and moreover, it leads to a sense of self-accomplishment for both you and your child. Encourage your child’s budding independence by giving him/her some child sized responsibility throughout this experience. Let’s get started with this super simple banana muffin recipe.

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg, room temperature

1/3 cup vegetable oil
