Life with a toddler can be rough that’s why you NEED this healthy mini muffins recipe! I have tasted a lot of mini muffins recipes and this one is at the top of the list! These mini muffins will be sure to trick your kids – they’ll think it’s delicious, you’ll know it’s nutritious!

Guys! I’m so excited to be sharing the NEW Gerber Smart flow packets (see more here) – as well as a fun new “toddler approved” mini muffin recipe. BOOM!

We have officially entered the “I’m-hungry-and-want-to-eat-but-will-refuse-anything-you-give-me” phase. It’s super adorable, right? My once esteemed “garbage disposal” of a baby has now decided that she wants to make me work to get her to eat. It’s exasperating.

However, there are still a few things that she downs, NO PROBLEM, every time. At the top of the list are the Gerber packets of awesome. Packed with fruits and veggies, I feel very little guilt about handing my babe a packet to eat. Plus, they’re easy to cart around.

We headed to our local Walmart (aka Kroger) to stock up on our Gerber Smart Flow packets (you can tell she is SUPER excited) and it hit me….

I realized that I should use these little packets to make something delicious. Something easy. Something on-the-go. Something (dare I say) healthy and delicious. It was on.

I’ve had “healthy” muffins before and they’re always tasteless, sponge-y, and disgusting. I mean GROSS. Just gross. That was my mission: Make something delicious, not weird. Most importantly, it had to be toddler/kid approved.

After some fiddling in the kitchen, the hubby and I did it: Great success! We used good ingredients and made something delish – we might have added a few chocolate chips for a little more eye-appeal…. I mean, They have to pass toddler standards!

The end result really is delicious, and I’m not just saying that. I tried them and almost forgot I was eating a healthy little baby muffin. No lies. Yes, the mini chocolate chips helped, but it really was delicious with AND without chocolate chips!

In fact, my toddler preferred these mini muffins “plain” (aka no-chocolate chips) and my kid like the chocolate chips. Kids are weird man.
