Berry Tasty Muffins

Prep time: about 40 minutes

What you need:

    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
    ¼ c. vegetable oil
    nonstick cooking spray

Equipment and supplies:

    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

What to do:

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    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 egg mixture to the dry ingredients 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!
