Sometimes getting kids to eat healthy can be a real challenge.  You can sneak a lot of healthy things into these muffins and they will never know.  These Healthy Toddler Muffins will be a big hit with everyone in your family.

This recipe makes so many muffins that you can even freeze some and have them ready for a quick breakfast or snack.  I ended up with 72 mini muffins from one batch.

After making the base batter I divided it into several bowls and added different items to switch it up a bit.

I ended up making four kinds of muffins out of the one batter.  Apple cinnamon was a big hit.  I just added more apple to those and topped them with cinnamon sugar.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter was a good one too.  I added mini chocolate chips and topped them with a dollop of peanut butter before baking them.

The third one that I made was Chocolate Chip Banana.  As you can probably guess I added mini chocolate chips and extra banana.

For the blueberry ones I just tossed some blueberries on top of the muffins.  My blueberries were so big this year that I could only fit a couple on each mini muffin.
