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.

Toddler in the Kitchen - The Lemon Bowl

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.

  4. With the mixer on low-medium, slowly add the dry ingredients to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated, 1-2 minutes – careful not to over mix.

    I plan to make these this weekend. Is the nutrition calculated with the walnuts or without? Thanks!

    Thanks, I used Doves Farm fine plain wholemeal flour (says good for cakes and pastry) and Linwoods milled flax, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame seed and goji berry mix. Everything else the same. I did use UK-purchased measuring cups but I usually use those in baking, had read the difference is minimal doesn’t affect recipes? I was thinking as I slowly added the dry mix to the wet that it did seem too much dry. Thanks for your reply!

      Hi Amy – I’m wondering if it was the goji berry mix. Sounds a bit thick with the seeds and berries. Flax seed meal is the consistency of flour. Either way next tim try adding a little milk!

    Hi – I made these, mixing by hand, and the batter came out very thick, like a clay, could shape in my hands. I used all the called-for ingredients apart from flax seed used a ground flax seed and mixed seed combo. Any ideas where it went wrong? I improvised and made jam cups. Ok but quite hearty! Thanks.

      Hi Amy – Did you make any substitutions at all? Let me know so I can help brainstorm why the batter was thick. Mine was not thick at all.

        Hi there. I had the same problem as Amy. Really, really thick. I wonder if it should have read 1 1/2 cups of flour instead of 2 1/2 cups which would be more in line with other muffin recipes. Thanks.

    These look so delicious — a great on-the-go breakfast or satisfying snack. Will definitely have to try this recipe out with gluten-free flour!

    Hey, that’s my definition of “bake muffins” also!! But only if the jam in question is Bonne Maman. AKA the only jam worth eating.

    Aww what a sweet little helper! I remember when I was a kid I wanted to help my mom bake all the time. But really that just meant I just wanted to eat uncooked cookie dough and cake batter….haha. These muffins look great and totally perfect for a Mother’s Day breakfast.
