The best way to get my kids to eat healthy food is by packaging it in a fun way. Mini muffins, “dinosaur” green smoothies, or “pretty pink” beet hummus.

These sticky breakfast muffins are a great thing to prep ahead of time, for busy mornings. They are just a little sweet, moist, and dense.

Applesauce Flax Mini Muffins

Begin by preheating oven to 350 degrees F, then combining:

• 2 heaping Tablespoons ground flax
• 10 T water

Let sit for 3 minutes, this will create 2 flax eggs. In a separate bowl, combine:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1T baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/2 t vanilla
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup soy milk

Add the flax eggs, and combine until batter is smooth and sticky.

Fill greased mini muffin pan, top each muffin with a sprinkle more of rolled oats, and bake for 12 minutes. Serve warm or cold, keep in sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
