An Enchanted Childhood Playschool ~ February 18th-22nd ~ If You Give a Moose a Muffin

This week we rean an all time favorite of our family for many years : If You Give a Moose a Muffin.  And always a favorite activity to go along with this book is making muffins.  This time we made gluten-free, wonderfully hearlthy banana oat muffins.  Ingredients: bananas and oats!!





This makes me giggle ... I told Brady to smile ... and this is what I got!


While the oats were baking, we made homemade blackberry jam
(Yep! Just like in the book!)

blackberries
stevia
arrowroot powder for thickening
cook just a bit




A delcious, healthy snack!

    Great idea to make the jam! My son always wants to make muffins after reading this, but we could totally make jam next time with some frozen berries. Thanks!

    That is one of my favorite series of children's books. I love "if you give a pig a pancake" best!

    This is great hands-on learning activity. My kids love to help bake and this is one of our favorite books. I think we will have to do the same. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing at Creative Learning.

    That's a great activity to go with If you Give a Moose a Muffin. Oatmeal and banana muffins sound really good too.
