Fun Library Discovery

We found "Little Red Riding Hood  a Newfangled Prairie Tale" by Lisa Campbell Ernst at our library and enjoyed this new twist on the classic. At the end is Grandma's secret wheat berry muffin recipe, which we tried and it was delicious! The secret ingredient is sunflower seeds, which we ended up really liking...and some almond extract which was pretty prominent flavor-wise but we liked that too. The batter is super thick, unlike regular muffin batter, but it all works out. I might try adding sunflower seeds to my regular muffin recipe and see how that works.

Look for the book to read with the kids and make the muffins! You can find the recipe here or for a slightly healthier version, visit here
