Berry Tasty Muffins

Prep time: about 40 minutes

Ingredients:
1 c. flour
1 c. oatmeal
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt

4 tsp. baking powder
1 c. blueberries, washed
1 egg
1 c. milk
1/4 c. vegetable oil
nonstick spray

Utensils:
oven (You'll need help from your adult assistant.)
mixing spoon
2 large bowls
fork
muffin/cupcake tin
paper muffin/cupcake liners
wire rack for cooling muffins
measuring cups and spoons

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Mix in blueberries.
In another bowl, break the egg and use a fork to beat it just a little bit. Then add the milk and vegetable oil, and mix.
Add this mixture to the first mixture in the large bowl.
Using a mixing spoon, mix about 25 or 30 times. Don't mix too much! Your muffin mixture should be lumpy, not smooth.
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with nonstick spray. Spoon in the muffin mix. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 of the way up.
Bake for about 20 minutes.
When muffins are finished baking, remove from muffin tin and cool them on a wire rack.
Enjoy your berry tasty muffins!
