Blueberry Protein Muffins

lindsayhomemaker

Do your kids like to snack allllllll the time? Mine do! Miss Baby really loves fruit, graham crackers, apple sauce and yogurt! Miss Baby is now a toddler, by the way, so she puts all those teeth to WORK!

Since she loves to eat allll the things, and I can barely keep up, I have to find healthy items that will keep her full…slow her down a bit! Lol I saw these muffins online and had to try!

Ingredients:

  • Blueberries (I thawed some from frozen)
  • Protein Pancake mix (I mixed the suggested serving)
  • Maple syrup

Prepare the Protein Pancake mix according to the directions, then add as much maple syrup as you’d like. (I think I added a few table spoons, and it still wasn’t sweet. Perfect for a baby/toddler, but it wasn’t sweet enough for anyone else.)

Next, pour the batter into a greased muffin pan. Then, add blueberries and gently fold them in.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes, let cool a little, and remove them from the pan. Continue to let the muffins cool until they’re ready for a little person to handle!

Ideally, these would have been baked in a mini muffin pan. I don’t have one yet, so I served these to her 1/2 at a time. I kept the muffins in the refrigerator and heated as needed.

I hope you or your little one enjoys these healthy, filling muffins soon!

Green(s) Eggs & Ham with Miss Baby

lindsayhomemaker

The Girl is 4 months old, super active, alert and talkative! She’s often in the kitchen with me, but today I let her get in on the action a bit.

Minced Onions — Flavorful shortcut AND a baby shaker!
She loved feeling and hearing the plastic bag crunch.

Breakfast scrambles are one of my favorite things to prepare when I want to spice up our usual scrambled eggs routine. The ingredients vary, but there’s always cheese! lol Here are today’s ingredients:

  • Eggs (4)
  • Butter (1 Tablespoon); Olive Oil (a little swig)
  • Spinach (half-bag or a couple of handfuls)
  • Deli Ham/Turkey (as much as you like)
  • Minced Onions
  • Shredded Colby Jack Cheese (as much as you like)

First I sauteed the spinach with a little olive oil, seasoned salt, pepper and minced onions. After the spinach was wilted sufficiently, I set it aside in a ramekin and warmed some chopped deli meat. No need to get it super cooked, just enough to knock the refrigerator cold off…added that to the ramekin too.

I always scramble my eggs in a tablespoon of salted butter, so that was the next step. When those eggs were nearly ready I seasoned with a little salt & pepper, then added the other cooked ingredients and cheese. Folded everything in and served!

I ate mine with a dollop (ok…it was a whole single serving cup) of guacamole! I added toast and Conecuh sausage to my husband’s plate for a bit more bulk.

Here are a few more breakfast scramble ideas we enjoy:

  • Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms
  • Bacon & Sausage
  • Taco-seasoned Meat (top your scramble with a little salsa)

Remember…cheese always pulls everything together! 😉
