Nutritious Carrots, Apple,Banana and oats muffin (low dairy, low sugar)

Uncategorized

My 3 years old son is in that phase that scares parents where they stop eating everything good and their diet get limited to few things. Getting veggies in their diet is closer to a miracle. So I wanted to get something he loves that is muffin, with a bigger turn on the nutritious side with no butter and natural yogurt and coconut oil instead. For high fiber are oats, apples with peels, banana, dried coconut and a big carrot. No refined sugars, I used maple syrup and organic agave and I sprinkled Demerara raw sugar on top ( has large crystals that give it a crunchy texture, I learned that this particular type of sugar is produced in Mexico, India, Hawaii, among other countries.)

My 6 years old ate one, good sign, than he ate one more…the question was if Jimmy would like it, as soon as he woke up from his nap I offered. He asked me what was that…I said Apple muffins ( do not say too much) …ok, he said and gave a big bite and ate it all!!! So if you re a desperate parent like me, this is a good option as a nutritious snack and guilty free!
