Here’s Kaley with recipe the details…

Breakfast time in our house is sometimes a little stressful, with everyone trying to get ready and out the door in a hurry. And it’s always those days when we are running late when my toddler decides that she is not happy with what I have made for breakfast. (Or maybe I accidentally served it on the green plate instead of the blue plate. gasp!)

Dealing with a 2 year old tantrum over breakfast isn’t my favorite way to start the day.

So I developed a fool-proof, extra healthy blueberry muffin recipe and make muffins in bulk, then keep them in the freezer for just such mornings.

I use my favorite healthy blueberry muffin recipe, add a few packets of Similac Go & Grow Mix-Ins to the muffin batter, then cook them in a fun mini size.

The Mix-Ins help support her brain, eye and overall growth and development with their unique blend of DHA, lutein and vitamin E along with protein, fiber and other vitamins and minerals.

My daughter loves getting yummy muffins for breakfast, and I love that she is getting all of the nutrition she needs to start her day off right. (And of course I don’t mind avoiding the morning meltdown!)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 packets of Go & Grow by Similac Food Mix-Ins

Also needed:

mini muffin pan (affiliate link) or regular muffin pan
non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
Gently fold in blueberries.
Pour better into a greased mini muffin pan, filling each cup 3/4 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through. (Increase time to 16-18 minutes if using a full size muffin pan)

To Freeze, wrap cooled individual muffins in plastic wrap, then place them into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Since these mini muffins can be cooked ahead and frozen, they make a great, quick breakfast. I also love to pack a few as a snack for the park or a day out running errands.

They are packed with oats to give your toddler energy to play, and the added protein, fiber and vitamins from the Go & Grow by Similac Food Mix-Ins ensure they have the nutrition needed to grow and thrive. And toddlers love the mini size!
