I’ve always found it odd that those little sugar-filled packets of gummies for kids are called “fruit snacks”. I mean, giving kids a packet of sugar is hardly what I would call a snack of fruit. But this healthy gummies recipe for kids actually can qualify as a snack without any guilt!
I’m not sure what it is about strawberries, but it seems to be the one fruit kids can’t get enough of. Whether it is fresh strawberries, strawberry popsicles or homemade strawberry cupcakes like these … strawberry anything is hard to keep on hand for more than a day at our house. If you can relate to having a strawberry-loving child, this healthy cupcakes recipe is just what you need.
The inspiration behind this strawberry cake pops recipe was two-fold. First, I wanted to create something really fun for kids (and what could be more fun than cake on a stick?) that would not cause sugar-rush anxiety for parents. And secondly, I am always racking my brain to come up with naturally sweetened treats my kids will actually like that don’t contain chocolate.
You might not believe this … but these frozen yogurt berry bites for toddlers are actually magnets.
It’s true! These little frozen bites of protein are taste bud magnets. Because once toddlers get a taste, there’s no keeping them from consuming the entire batch in one sitting. Trust me, I have personal experience with my own toddler.
Let’s say you’ve just made a delicious batch of healthier vanilla cupcakes for your child’s birthday party. Time to frost them. But with what? How about this honey-sweetened vanilla buttercream frosting recipe!
After reading the title of this recipe, you might be thinking to yourself, “What is a pancake muffin?” Well, let me just explain it to you this way: This blueberry pancake muffins recipe delivers the taste and texture of a pancake without you having to stand over a hot stove practicing your flipping skills for a half hour.
My kids literally cannot get enough of this creamy strawberry popsicles recipe. And, to be honest, I am surprised. Not because I don’t think they are good. But whenever I make a new recipe, it’s really a toss-up as to how it will go over with my kids. My 7-year-old is incredibly particular. My toddler is not so particular, but she’s still … a toddler.
This strawberry jam thumbprint cookies recipe was the answer to lowering my kids’ chocolate consumption. My kids are chocoholics, no doubt about it. I’ll admit that there is a maternal history of chocoholism in their family line, so they come by it naturally. And chocolate is just plain addicting for anyone, after all.
Is it just my kids who love jam? I mean, they think it’s a treat. Maybe it’s because I don’t buy jam on a regular basis because it’s loaded with added sugar. Prior to making my own homemade healthy strawberry jam recipe, I usually opted for alternatives (like honey or fresh fruit) to avoid that extra refined sugar.
If you have kids and you ever bake, you know the tug-of-war feeling of wanting to make a fun treat for your family while also wanting to feed their little bodies with nothing but the best. But when you naturally sweeten your baked goods and treats with dates, you can have the best of both worlds!
