A healthy breakfast muffin recipe for all ages. Filled with the good stuff to be a nutritionally charged snack or quick breakfast for a pregnant or postpartum mum. Delicious enough that the toddlers and school aged kids will be pleased to find them in their lunch boxes.
Sub out ingredients to include what you have in your pantry but this combo is a winner. After 4 year old Ben explained to me how much he dislikes carrot, even though he eats it in many meals, he certainly did not notice it in these muffins.
Healthy breakfast muffins are a great postpartum meal to keep stored in the freezer to pull out the night before to be ready to fuel you for the day ahead. You can change these healthy breakfast muffins to include frozen fruits, different nuts and seeds, your flour of choice.
