if you follow me on instagram, you may have seen my post from february 13th (galentine’s day) about the delicious mini muffins i made for my toddler! i adapted the recipe from the sesame street kid’s cookbook titled Let’s Cook! by Susan McQuillan, RD to include young living’s einkhorn flour & cinnamon bark vitality oil. they turned out SO WELL.
if you’re interested in making some of these for your toddler (or, let’s be honest, yourself) read on for the recipe!

galentine’s day cherry mini muffins

makes 48 mini muffins

ingredients:

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 large egg
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
cinnamon bark vitality oil & a toothpick
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup einkhorn flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup finely chopped dried cherries

instructions:

1. preheat the oven to 325 & lightly oil a mini muffin pan

2. in a large bowl, combine the oats, cornmeal, yogurt, oil, brown sugar, & vanilla extract until well mixed.

3. here comes the fun part: take a toothpick & stick it inside the dropper of your cinnamon bark vitality oil then swirl it through the batter until it’s nice & cinnamon-y enough for you. (try not to eat it all). then mix in the egg & set aside.

4. in a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, einkhorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, & salt until well mixed.

5. pour into the oat mixture & stir gently until just combined- you don’t want to overmix einkhorn flour!

6. fold in the cherries & begin scooping roughly 1 tbsp of batter into the prepared muffin cups. (i like to use a cookie scoop)

7. bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven. insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to test doneness. if the toothpick comes out clean, you’re good to go! allow them to cool for 10 minutes before you remove them from the pan & start baking the next batch.
