In the clip, the pajama-clad Peppermint actress is seen in her kitchen at 5:30 a.m., scrambling to prepare a special breakfast for her children, Violet, 13, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6. 

“This time of year it is extra cozy to send kids to school with something warm in their bellies,” Garner, 46, wrote in the caption. She went on to explain that her brood feels “extra cozy” about baking guru Rose Levy Beranbaum’s chocolate chip bread. “This recipe isn’t crazy sweet and, with a good swish of peanut butter, is just the thing for my early rising middle schooler,” she wrote. “You can find the full episode on IGTV. #PretendCookingShow.”

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, The Way They Were

Though Garner usually makes it a point to measure and prep ingredients the night before, on this particular morning, however, she was not prepared. 

“I didn’t do that this time,” she quipped. But that wasn’t Garner’s only problem. The 13 Going on 30 star, who was trying to be as quiet as possible as to not rouse her kids from their slumber, kept slamming her kitchen cabinets. 

Luckily, the treat turned out just fine, thanks to Garner’s quick thinking. She used a cheese grater to “soften” the butter in a hurry, a hack that would surely make her hero Ina Garten proud!
