Mom Hack
Don't worry, it's not child labor, it's a mommy-win!
Kids often find pleasure in being a part of household activities.
One such activity could be feeding the family pet.
Helping clear their own dishes after meals, fetching items during meal prep, tidying up their toys, and learning to sort their laundry could be other tasks to include.
Yes, tasks might take a bit longer and might not be perfect, but it keeps the kids engaged and helps them learn.
A win-win situation, isn't it?

Sugar-Free Banana Muffins for Your Little Munchkins
ymmytoddlerfood.com
Put on your baking hats and let's introduce our kiddos to the delights of healthy snacking with these super-moist, flavor-filled Sugar-Free Banana Muffins.
A bonus - there's a vegan alternative too!
Ingredients
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1 large egg
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (slightly cooled)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease your 24-cup mini muffin pan.
Add all ingredients to a medium-sized bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly. If you see any oil streaking through the batter, mix a bit more. It should look like one consistent color.
Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups in the pan.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan, then move them to a wire rack to cool fully.
And don't worry, there's an option for everyone!
To make them dairy-free, swap in non-dairy milk.
If you need them egg-free, just skip the egg and add a little more oil.
And for a gluten-free version, just use a gluten-free flour blend.
Oh, and a quick tip: If your baby has a hard time with bready textures, just top each bite with a little applesauce or plain yogurt.
Lastly, don't forget to store these yummy muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 24 hours, or in the fridge for 3-5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
And there you have it - an easy, versatile, and, most importantly, healthy muffin recipe that your entire family will love!
