Minion Muffins

Hi Folks!

Last week I started a little project with the kids I love to spend time with. I was an Au Pair for 2 years in New York and at the moment I have the great opportunity to stay here for a visit for a while.

So, after the girls discovered all the baking youtube videos, especially from NERDY NUMMIES, we try now to bake something every week.
So we started with MINIONS CUPCAKES and I tell you, the result was very cute AND yummy (but sweet).


For this we had our helper Nana, so we had an extra pair of hands to handle the fun baking mess. I have to say, the whole recipe is based on MARTHA STEWARD banana muffins with some MINIONS decoration on top. And the recipe is very easy! My girls are just 3 1/2 years old and they are able to measure by themselves with a little help and are able to put almost everything in the bowl.
They had a blast with baking, but of course the most fun part was liking the bowl, which they always looking forward too.
But also the decorating was fun, they didn't want to stop anymore and went on and on and on.
Basically what you do, is decorate TWINKIES with the Minions faces and put them on top of the banana muffin. So not a big of a deal.

Just as a little tip from my side, if you are able to handle a little mess and are fine with cleaning up after the kids go to bed, just go ahead and try it even with Toddlers. As I said my girls are 3 and a half and they sure make a mess but to see the happy faces and the passion they already have for baking is worth every cleaning afterwards.
Don't be afraid to do stuff like this with your kids. Not even that they develop their motor skills, they also learn to share and take turns (if you have more than one) and best, how to make delicious desserts.

Here the Link from the original video and let me know if you also tried it.
