Embassy Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We have been doing baking competitions this year as a fun way to learn how to bake. All three of my kids really enjoy spending time creating in the kitchen. Today, they each made a chosen muffin recipe. After they finished baking, they each chose their best looking muffin and I took a picture of it. You will find the pictures on my blog here: http://eclectic-homeschool.com/muffin-baking-competition-please-vote-for-your-favorite/ Please take a minute and vote for the best looking muffin. You can vote on the poll here or on the poll at the bottom of the blog post :) Thanks so much! My kids love hearing the results come in. UPDATE: Thanks for all the votes. The winner for the best looking was the Pretzel Chocolate Chip Muffin with the Chocolate Surprise Muffin coming in second and the Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffin coming in 3rd. The winner for the best tasting was the Pretzel Chocolate Chip Muffin with the Banana Coconut Chocolate Chip Muffin coming in second and the Chocolate Surprise Muffin in 3rd. This was the first time my 4th grader had a solid win. He was very excited. Thanks for all the votes! We have one more competition this school year which will probably be next week sometime - brownies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They all look delicious, even though I don't even like chocolate chips in my muffins. I voted for the pretzel one--the streusel topping gave it the edge for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I chose banana because it looked so interesting to me. The chocolate also looked delicious and I know I would LOVE it because it's chocolate, of course!! The pretzel sounded the most interesting and different to me. I would love to try that flavor combination They all looked and sounded delicious!! Good work, kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I just plain don't like coconut (sorry Kid!) and Chocolate seemed to run-of-the-mill, but it looked amazing, I voted for the pretzel-struessel one based on looks and flavor combo, but I'd probably eat the chocolate one.

umsami Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They all look delicious, please post recipes. I had a tough time deciding between the banana coconut and the pretzel chocolate chip one. I think the toasted coconut sealed the deal for me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 This was the hardest one yet for me to decide on. All 3 looked pretty good so I turned to the flavors. I liked the idea of the coconut one the best, but then remembered we are really supposed to be the visual deciders. I stepped back and asked which one would look good enough for someone to spend money on and that's the one I chose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 They all sound amazing, but I chose the banana, chocolate chip, coconut muffin because those are my three favorite toppings for ice cream, so I'm betting it would taste great in a muffin too.

Word Nerd Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I want to eat all three but think the pretzel one looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThisIsTheDay Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 They all look like they are from a professional muffin competition on tv! They were all beautiful, but that pretzel streudel was just over the top awesome looking! Great job, kids!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
