At our Junior Chef Program this month, momstown Mississauga moms and toddlers baked some delicious Pumpkin muffins. We meet each month to get our kids cooking and trying new foods and healthy recipes! By making some small changes to the recipe we made it healthier.

The kids were quite young, so there was lots of interest in smelling the spices, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Even a few sneezes. They even got to try the Pampered Chef mixer out - to save on dishes you can mix up all the wet ingredients right in the hand mixer.

We had some cute aprons too for momstown Junior Chefs! They were able to mix and play without getting too messy!

Sampling was encouraged! By letting the kids add a few chocolate chips and other fun ingredients, they were very excited to try the pumpkin creations. Chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds, coconut, even mini marshmallows are fun things to add into recipes. A little goes a long way.

The finished product looked and smelled as good as they tasted. Kathy our nutritionist who leads this momstown program each month, showed us some simple tips to make the recipes healthier and lower fat!
The more fibre (from whole wheat flour) the better the muffin! You can also substitute applesauce in place of the oil in muffin recipes. This adds more flavour and cuts out the fat.
