One of my favorite food prep items is muffins! They’re perfect as part of a quick breakfast, a mid-morning snack with some coffee or as an afternoon pick me up between lunch and dinner.
I created these for the sample meal plan with my Healthy Mama Meal Planner and I can’t get over how simple and delicious they are.
They’re naturally gluten-free, made with almond flour, and they’re packed with poppyseeds for an extra dash of nutrients (and flavor).
Benefits of poppyseeds:
1. High in fiber (2g for 1 tbsp)
2. High in iron — blood and brain booster
3. High in zinc- beneficial for immune and bone health
4. High in magnesium- a co-factor in over 300 mechanisms in the body
Bonus: the kids love them!
