I’m learning something in my old age.
If your kids like a particular food you make, make it again.
You would think this is an easy thing to learn, but the thing is that I’m an adult who gets bored quite easily.
I experiment and test foods and recipes all of the time and I rarely follow recipes to a T.
The adults in the house love the variety, but the kids complain a lot about dinners and snacks because it’s just not quite what they asked for.
“Why did you have add that to the recipe?”
So when I made some muffins from Dishing Up Dirt and my daughter liked them I knew I had to make them again.
(The silly thing is that I changed them ever so slightly from the first time I made them… but the results were deeelish I had to share.)
I made quite a few changes to the original recipe which is why I’m sharing it here, but the inspiration came from Dishing Up Dirt so I wanted to make sure I gave proper attribution.
Here’s the recipe and I really hope you make them! They are a winner.
