Muffins are my go-to homemade snack and can often make a great breakfast, too. They bake quickly and it's so easy to include healthy ingredients. I'm not the type to hide them. My son is not the best eater but I make sure he knows all the goodness that he does eat.
The muffins will take you about 10 minutes to make and then 25 to bake. The ingredients are pantry staples. You may be able to make them today!

Enjoy! I love drinking something with citrus when I'm having chocolate. Lemon water does the trick but lemonade would probably go over perfectly with little kids and big kids alike!
* If you want to make your muffins a bit more healthy, feel free to substitute the bleached flour for whole wheat. **And, if your child has a peanut allergy but can tolerate other nuts almond butter is a perfect substitute.
