We looked at different recipes and found one for blueberry muffins! We decided that this would be fun to try.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/46D23FDD-91CC-45C8-BF6B-EF6E1FC8C834.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21120\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/46D23FDD-91CC-45C8-BF6B-EF6E1FC8C834-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/29BC4132-FA55-4408-B281-BE6B7400BAEE.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21118\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/29BC4132-FA55-4408-B281-BE6B7400BAEE-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFirst we talked about what ingredients we would need.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/FBE8A176-0F68-4B06-816F-8692424496A8.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21119\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/cartmill\/files\/2022\/05\/FBE8A176-0F68-4B06-816F-8692424496A8-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThen we got to work making our yummy muffins. We followed the recipe, adding flour.  One child commented \u201c I bake lots with granny, I know that is flour\u201d  Next thing to do was mix the oil into the mixture, followed by some soya milk and of course we had to add the most important ingredient, some blueberries.  The mixture needed a lot of mixing and our arms got quite tired but we took it in turns so everyone could get a rest!<br \/>\nNext we used our mathematical skills to divide the mixture up between our paper cake cases before taking them to the oven. The hardest part was waiting until they came out because we could smell the delicious baking scent. Finally, they were ready and they looked amazing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyday the children enjoy helping to make their own snack. \u00a0Which usually consists of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
