Muffins & Mates is an ongoing baking class. Join me in the kitchen, spatulas in hand, with whatever level of baking experience you have. I'll meet you where you're at - with a new muffin recipe every week, a plethora of baking tips, and we'll take a walk together over the learning curves of getting comfy in the cookhouse! We'll finish each class with some muffins in the oven, and better yet, we'll all make friends while we're at it. Here's the schedule: - 6/20: double chocolate banana muffins - 6/27: cinnamon coffee cake muffins
Learning Goals
Graduates from Muffins & Mates will have all the hands-on know-how of whipping up a fresh batch of homemade muffins, and hopefully some great friends, too!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
As this class will take place in the kitchen, I strongly advise parental guidance. We will be using the oven and beaters, both of which have the potential to cause harm. Please also be aware that most recipes use eggs. Thank you!
Supply List
The ingredients list will be posted in the classroom a week in advance, or sooner if requested.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
"Don't get me an Instant Pot for my birthday, I'll never use it."
My husband shifted uncomfortably on the couch. "Oh... yeah okay, those are just frivolous indulgences anyway."
Little did I know, the newly purchased appliance was already wrapped and tucked away, in eager anticipation of the big celebration. Talk about awkward, right?
Don't worry. Fast forward a few years, throw a few more Instant Pots into the kitchen, and I cringe at the thought that I ever had a life without that bequeathed-from-heaven gift to the world. What can I say, though! Old habits die hard, and learning new stuff is intimidating. If not for the patience and sometimes bribery employed by my folks as a kid, I'm pretty sure all my sneakers would still have Velcro and my bike would still have training wheels!
Anyway. I'm Channelle! I eat pizza every Friday. Religiously. I'm a Saskatchewan-born Canadian, living in southern Utah right now, I run races, and have a slight(ly alarming) cookie-baking obsession. Is that okay? I chose to study neuroscience in my undergrad, and I finished in a little over two years - summa cum laude. I was handpicked by professors to TA in their classes, instructing neuroanatomy labs, training rats, and grading behavioral psychology exams, and by request, I also volunteered in the bio department as a tutor for anatomy and physiology classes. Those were the days! I've been teaching English for the past three years, and just last year, I graduated with my MBA. I have a Mickey-loving son, a dimpled-but-front-toothless daughter, a fat baby boy, and they are my world - even when I'm hiding in the pantry with a huge tub of peanut butter and an Agatha Christie novel. Favorite animal, elephants; favorite color, pale pink; favorite food, pizza; favorite Avenger, arguably Dr Strange.
Learning is intimidating, yes, but it is also exhilarating to understand just a little better about how the world and everything in it works. Who knows where we'd be without books and scholars and schools! Come hang out with me. We'll trade in your Velcro for shoelaces, and get those training wheels off, because guess what? Learning is fun!
