Chocolate Chip Muffins
This should not come as a shock, but my kids love chocolate chips. (I bet yours do too!) And I’ve found that a little goes a long way in terms of enticing the kids to try new foods and adding flavor to recipes. Which is to say: That these muffins have a base that includes whole grain flour and protein-packed Greek yogurt, and also chocolate for an extra burst of deliciousness. They’re an easy breakfast or snack option to share with the kids—plus they freeze beautifully.
