hide N seek muffins (kid friendly cooking)

I recently picked up this book - part of the Moosewood family of awesomeness.   It's designed with short, simple recipes that kids can make - with a little parental support.  There are illustrations for the kids to read, and nothing we've made so far requires ingredients we wouldn't already have on hand.

We went strawberry picking yesterday, so naturally we wanted to find recipes that could incorporate the FIVE POUNDS of strawberries we have.  We picked "Hide N Seek Muffins" which is really just a basic (if bland) muffin mix where you shove a sugared strawberry into the middle.   They tasted pretty good - we garnished them with some vanilla greek yogurt - but more than that, they were fun to make together.  Pardon the hasty iPhone pics, but it's all I use these days!

 

Definitely recommend the book if you have a kid who loves helping in the kitchen! 

Directions & Ingredients:  
*** My only modification to this would be to GREASE the muffin papers before pouring the batter in.  They were a bit hard to take off.
