Prep time: about 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 c. flour

• 1 c. oatmeal

• 3 tbsp. sugar

• 1 tsp. salt

• 4 tsp. baking powder

• 1 c. blueberries, washed

• 1 egg

• 1 c. milk

• 1/4 c. vegetable oil

• nonstick spray

 

Utensils:

• oven (You"ll need help from your adult assistant.)

• mixing spoon

• 2 large bowls

• fork

• muffin/cupcake tin

• paper muffin/cupcake liners

• wire rack for cooling muffins

• measuring cups and spoons

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Mix in blueberries.

In another bowl, break the egg and use a fork to beat it just a little bit. Then add the milk and vegetable oil, and mix.

Add this mixture to the first mixture in the large bowl.

Using a mixing spoon, mix about 25 or 30 times. Don"t mix too much! Your muffin mixture should be lumpy, not smooth.

Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick spray. Spoon in the muffin mix. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way up.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

When muffins are finished baking, remove from muffin tin and cool them on a wire rack.

Enjoy your berry tasty muffins!
