I love that my daughter Lilah is at the age (almost 2.5) where she can "help" me in the kitchen. It means I don't always have to wait until she is napping or otherwise occupied to bake or cook. Mind you, she can only be given very simple tasks and it often ends up taking longer and being messier, but I just try to chalk that up to part of the fun of it.
It was raining this morning (and Daddy was home to look after baby Charlotte) so I decided it would be a perfect morning for Lilah and I to get in the kitchen and make homemade chocolate pudding and raisin bran muffins together...two of Lilah's favorite treats and things I had been meaning to get to all week.
Here are the recipes....

Bran Muffins (Raisin, Blueberry or Cranberry)
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 c. milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. molasses
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. wheat bran
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. blueberries, cranberries or raisins (berries can be fresh or frozen...do not thaw first)
Directions
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside. Mix all wet ingredients together in another bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients and add berries or raisins. Pour into a greased muffin tin. I am usually able to get a dozen regular sized muffins and half a dozen mini muffins out of this recipe. Bake in a 350 degree oven until toothpick comes out clean (time depends on size of muffins, but about 10 minutes for mini muffins and 20 minutes for regular sized muffins).
