    Muffins are the ideal make-ahead food for everyone, but especially a family on-the-go…and if you have kids, that’s probably you. Not only are they portable, they are an easy way to pack a lot of nutrients into a kid-friendly form.

    These healthy muffins are so versatile because you can customize them for your picky eaters. 

    Truly a mom’s best friend, all of these muffins are almost effortless to whip up, as well as having wholesome simple ingredients. An added bonus - they are nourishing with little to no added sugar.

    Serve fresh, warm for breakfast or snack, pack for lunch box or freeze for later.

      Thank you so much Min for all your creative recipes and hard work ❤️ You honestly saved my life. I now make your muffin recipes to put for my son in his lunchbox. I was limited with the healthy options.
      The best thing is that I can freeze them and use them over the week.
