The kids in my class voted, and our friend Jack the pumpkin became chocolate chip cupcakes!! We mixed up our mixture of yumminess at school yesterday. I love cooking in class because it opens up so many other teachable moments such as reading a recipe, what ingredients are, and measuring. Plus, the kids have a blast doing it!! The recipe we used is as follows:
INGREDIENTS
1 (1 lb 2.25-oz.) pkg. pudding-included yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin (or fresh, like we used)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 can frosting of your choice
DIRECTIONS
1 Heat oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. In large bowl, combine all cupcake ingredients except chocolate chips; beat at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full.
2 Bake at 350°F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool 20 minutes or until completely cooled.
3 Frost cooled cupcakes.
The cupcakes fresh out of my oven last night! They made my house smell so good!!
I even toasted Jack's seeds with butter and salt for the kids to try.
Our treat for class today. The kids had a choice between chocolate frosting or cream cheese frosting. Most of the kiddos really enjoyed the pumpkin seeds. There was not one seed left at the end of snack time!! Since we have some of "Jack" left, the kids are begging to come up with something else to make. I think next week we might make pumpkin bread!
