    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.”

    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.
