It’s about to get a little crazy around my house. Good friends are coming from out of town with their kids for a few days so we will have four kids between two and four under one roof. Thank goodness for some crafty ideas I found on Pinterest to keep them busy and some quick and healthy made ahead meals. Muffins are easy to make in large quantities and freeze to use for meals or snacks. This muffin has quinoa flour and flax meal giving it lots of protein and fiber. Mini muffin pans make muffins the perfect size for little fingers!
Give this one a try you and your kids will enjoy it.

Hi Victoria,
Hope all is well! I continue to love this site, and the recipes.
With the apple muffins, are they healthy enough to have for breakfast? My 13 year old and I are getting tired of hard boiled eggs and oatmeal would love to try something new.
Also, how long can I freeze them? and how do I freeze them in zip lock bags, or containers?
Thanks for your time
