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.”

  1. I had the same problem everyone else cited: the batter turned into a too-thick dough that couldn’t possibly become muffins. 3 cups of dry ingredients to 1/2 cup oil and 2 eggs simply is too much dry. Too bad… I wanted these to turn out.
