Peggy Reed of Vergennes, Vermont says her granddaughter Kelsey has always loved cooking. At age 4, Kelsey entered Bran Muffins in a baking contest. The recipe Kelsey used is great for kids. The ingredients are measured in whole amounts, Peggy explains. It makes a lot of batter, but it can be stored in the refrigerator so the muffins can be made in batches. By the way, Peggy also entered muffins in the contest, competing against Kelsey. Kelsey won the blue ribbon and Grandma came in second place!

Editor's Note: Batter may be stored covered in refrigerator for 2 weeks; do not stir. Bake as directed.
