Healthy Breakfast Ideas for Toddlers

Healthy Toddler Breakfast Muffins

As my readers may know I am a big fan of Healthy Muffins for Toddlers.  I find that it is a really easy way to get a lot of nutrition and taste into each bite my child consumes in the morning.  Therefore, I have made several different kinds of muffins and have been experimenting with ways to make the tastier while balancing the healthy ingredients.  I usually will double or triple the amount of bananas in a recipe.  I will add oats to a recipe.  I will substitute whole wheat flour over white and see the results.  This week, I have taken my tried and true muffin recipe and attempted to go a little fancier with my add-ins.  I want my son to have a varied palette and to have tried many foods when he gets out in the world and starts tasting on his own.

For this round of taste testing I made two variations on my former list of Healthy Toddler Muffins Varieties.  My first attempt was to try something a little gourmet.  I would like my little man to be ready for the challenge of eating grandpa’s fancy meals someday. Therefore, I made my banana oatmeal recipe with white chocolate chips and cranberries.  I wasn’t sure if those flavors would go well with the bananas and oats but it worked surprisingly well.  My second variety was butterscotch chips.  I was not worried that the butterscotch flavor might not meld with the bananas and I was completely right.  They went together perfectly.
