You know, kids are some of the most wasteful creatures when it comes to food. It’s pretty rare that my kids finish an entire muffin in one sitting. That’s why these mini chocolate chip muffins are just right for mini mouths. Mini muffins are just the right size breakfast or snack for kids of all different ages. For toddlers, one is just right.
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.
Cheesecake in a ball. I’m not sure who thought of it, but it’s a genius way to make and serve these chocolate cheesecake balls to kids. Sometimes the thought of making a cheesecake is a little too much. I mean, we adults are busy. If we want to make a snack or treat for our kids that needs to be baked, it requires schedule-rearranging and time management skills.
There are two great things about these moist vanilla cupcakes:
1. They are free from refined sugar.
2. Kids love their taste and texture.
There is nothing better than a sweet treat for your child that you can feel good about. With all of the processed sugar and additives in store-bought cake mixes, homemade cake is always a healthier choice.
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!
It’s just plain tough being a health-conscious parent in the heat of summer when sugary frozen treats abound, isn’t it? Well, fear not because these healthy chocolate popsicles for kids are the perfect antidote to the ice cream and popsicle treats your kids’ friends get to have every hot summer day.
I’m not sure if I really even need to explain why chocolate sandwich cookies are amazing. I mean, what kid does not point to prepackaged sandwich cookies in the store and beg to buy them? Only, these are not prepackaged, from the store, or full of refined sugar.
I can think of nothing else I loved to lick off of a beater more than chocolate chip cookie dough as a kid (who am I kidding? That’s still my favorite thing to lick off of a beater!). And that is the inspiration behind these chocolate chip cookie dough energy balls.
This healthy chocolate cake for kids is truly decadent yet totally guilt-free. Your kids will beg you to make this cake for them … and you’ll probably say, “Okay.” Because this cake is not only irresistibly delectable, it is also naturally sweetened with maple syrup, making it a much healthier alternative to the typical chocolate cake.
I originally came up with a homemade healthy chocolate recipe as a coating for my strawberry cake pops. It turned out to be the perfect coating, but it also seemed like it would make perfect homemade chocolate for baking and making candies.
