Zoe Nathan's Chocolate Chunk Muffins
march 9, 2015
I'll admit it, I bought this book because of its yellow polka-dotted page edges. Combined with a beautiful photo of an ooey-gooey berried bread on the cover and brightly colored type, I just couldn't resist. But I don't really bake, there just isn't time.
So recently, I've been "leaving" it out on the kitchen table and offering it up when my kids complain of being bored or wanting something to snack on besides oranges, apples or kiwis. "Why don't you make some muffins?"
Shockingly, my ploy seems to have worked. The first batch I made was a bust, but the next ones my daughter baked herself and now she and her brother seem to have caught the baking bug. All I have to do is offer suggestions and help them clean up.
On p. 36 of Huckleberry: Stories, Secrets, and Recipes from our Kitchen. Yes, we all like these muffins! They keep well for a few days in a jar on the counter and are good for after school snacks and second breakfasts.
