My 2 year olds new favourite activity is sitting on the counter and “helping” me cook.
I use the term “helping” loosely as I usually end up with an extra scoop of flour in the bowl, and all over my counter. Now, I love getting her in the kitchen and cooking or baking is the perfect rainy Sunday morning activity. But cleaning, I do not enjoy. And for some reason, she doesn’t want to help with that part.
That is why I absolutely love this muffin recipe – it’s “easy like a Sunday morning.” You only need to throw everything into your food processor, give it a whirl, stir in some chocolate chips, and 15 minutes later you have delicious banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins. It is actually the easiest, almost mess free, muffin recipe.
I love that you can satisfy your muffin craving instantly and use up those brown bananas that always seem to accumulate on the counter. And if I can keep my toddler occupied for even 20 minutes, that’s a win in my books!
