Yummy banana wholemeal muffins
What wonderful bakers and tasters we had at BestStart Morrinsville today to make our new wholemeal banana muffins with cinnamon. Oh, it smelt and tasted so scrumptious. We have adapted our muffin recipe in line with our Healthy Heart guidelines to include wholemeal flour as a healthy option. Our tamariki really enjoyed mashing the banana with a fork and adding in all of the ingredients into the bowl. With our Healthy Heart Gold Award, we pride ourselves in providing not only scrumptious meals for our tamariki, but also healthy ones. We also love having helpers with kai preparations here at Best Start Morrinsville.
Throughout preparing our banana wholemeal muffins, we did lots of learning. Firstly, we had a recipe to follow which strengthens our literacy knowledge, we also had to do lots of measuring of ingredients that are supporting our numeracy knowledge. We also had to use some of our fine motor skills during breaking the eggs. We also had to use our strong muscles to mash the banana and stir all of the ingredients together. Our tamariki love getting amongst food preparation especially when it comes to tasting the end product once it is done.
