Kitchen Boycott: Healthy Breakfast Muffins




      Oh, how I love quick and healthy toddler friendly breakfast ideas for Sophie. She just ate them right up and even asked for more "nummies".  Best of all, these muffins freeze great and thaw nicely!

Here is what you need:

Muffin Pan (I used regular but mini works too!
Cooking spray
6 Tbs butter, melted
1/4 c. brown sugar
1-2 bananas, mashed
1/2 c. applesauce
1 c. shredded summer squash (could use zucchini or carrots as well)
2 eggs
1 c. flour
1/2 c. oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp of each: nutmeg (heck yes!), cinnamon, and salt


Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and grease muffin pan.
Step 2: Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in bananas, squash and eggs.
Step 3: Stir in flour, baking soda, oats and spices. Just stir until combined.
Step 4: Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.

What did I do with my extra time away from the kitchen?: Got to put on make up and do my hair before school.(Yay for not looking like a sleepy mom of 2!)
