Baked Bean Cake Or Muffins Recipes

BAKED BEAN MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
• You could either ask your child to grease the muffin tray liberally or they could use muffin paper cases instead. If you use paper cases don't use your best ones as they would be wasted on a savoury muffin.
• Ask your little helper to sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl, a little at a time. My boy absolutely loves this job; I think he would happily sift flour all day long!
• Place the butter into a small microwaveable bowl and heat in the microwave until the butter has melted. Put the bowl to one side while you turn your attention to the milk and egg.
• It can be quite tricky for young hands to pour milk from a heavy milk bottle, so some assistance will be required here. You can pour the milk into the measuring jug together!
• If you have a keen egg cracker, then grab a small bowl and let your child crack in the egg. When it comes to picking out the shell, they can revel in the slimy gooey mess. My boy makes lots of "ewww" noise with a big smile on his face! Once any shell has been extracted they can give the egg a quick whisk with a fork.
• Using a wooden spoon or balloon whisk, make a well in the centre of the flour, then pour in the milk, beaten egg and melted butter. Children will love stirring the muffin mixture and the great thing is that lumps are to be encouraged; it only needs to be mixed until just combined. An overworked mixture will result in a tough, dense muffin.
• Open the can of baked beans for your helper. They can use a spoon to scoop out the beans and sauce into the mixing bowl. Just take a moment to be sure there are no sharp edges to the tin. While they are busy you can get on with grating the cheese.
• Stir the baked beans and grated cheese into the mixture, being careful not to over mix. Your little one can now spoon the orange tinted mixture into the awaiting muffin tin.
• Place the tray into the hot oven and leave the muffins to cook for approximately 20-25 mins. The muffins will not rise a great deal due to the baked beans but should lift to the tops of each muffin hole and turn a rich golden colour.
• Once cooked take from the oven and tip out on to a wire rack to cool.

BAKED BEAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Put the beans (and the sauce they're packed in), pumpkin puree or banana, brown sugar, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla into a blender or food processor and pulse or blend until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
• Add the oats, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda and salt and pulse until the oats are fairly finely ground. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes (the oats will soften a bit), and blend again. Take off the lid and if you like, stir in some raisins before scooping or pouring into the muffin tins.
• Pour or scoop into greased or paper-lined muffin tins, filling them all the way to the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until raised, golden and springy to the touch. Makes 12 muffins or about 24 mini muffins.
