These light and fluffy whole grain muffins are packed with nutrients and filled with sweet and tangy blackberry preserves.

I’m not sure how it happened but my 3 year old has turned into quite the little baker. And it absolutely melts my heart. So you better believe when my friends at Bonne Maman invited me to create a special recipe for Mother’s Day, I immediately enlisted my Sous Chef.

When I asked him what we should make with our blackberry preserves, he immediately suggested we bake muffins. Apparently bake muffins is toddler speak for “eat preserves straight from the jar with a spoon.”

With Mother’s Day around the corner, I can’t help but feel blessed to have little helpers in the kitchen. While they aren’t quite delivering me a hot breakfast in bed just yet, I am delighted to see their interest in cooking and baking growing every day.

Whether you’re looking for a healthy make-ahead breakfast or afternoon snack, these Whole Grain Blackberry Jam Muffins are ideal for making with kids of all ages. They can help you whisk, measure and pour. Or eat the preserves with a spoon. Either way.

And in the meantime, grab the kiddos and get in the kitchen. I hope you have as much fun baking these muffins as we did.
No forks required.
