Are you looking for an insanely easy & fun recipe for your kids to bake almost entirely by themselves? This is it! My 4 year old – Athena – did literally everything by herself, except handle the oven, and left behind NO mess at all, except for the dirty dishes for me to wash. 

I love breakfast foods, but I do not love eating when I first wake up. It takes me a good 6+ hours of being awake to begin to feel hungry. My children, however, love to stuff their face the second their eyes open. Allowing them to make their own kid-friendly breakfasts has worked out really great for our family.

Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Sugar
• 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 4 oz. Cold Cream Cheese
• 1 stick Salted Butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 1/4 cup Buttermilk
• 2/3 cup Blueberries* {or whatever berries/fruit you have on hand… could also substitute Chocolate Chips, Sprinkles, raisins, or nuts even, or omit if plain is more your style.}

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking salt, sugar, and salt.
• Add cream cheese & butter cubes to the mixture, set a timer for 5 minutes, then use your hands to mix together until all crumbly & combined.
• Dig a hole in the center with your hands, then pour in buttermilk. Using a rubber spatula, stir until combined.
• Fold in Blueberries {or other mix in choice.}
• Scoop mixture into a greased muffin tin & bake for 15 minutes at 425°F {Adult Supervision Required}.

While the Biscuit Muffins are baking, prepare your Sea Salt Vanilla Butter for serving.

Ingredients

• 6 Tablespoons Salted Butter, softened
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Directions

• Mix ingredients together with a kid-sized rubber spatula until blended & easily spreadable.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving with a heaping spoonful of Sea Salt Vanilla Butter.

This really is such a kid-friendly recipe. It takes very little time from start to finish, involves super fun “play-learning” using their hands {make sure to wash first!!}, leaves them feeling accomplished & successful, as well as provides them with useful baking skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. Happy baking!!!

Until next time ♡ Mama Morozov
