Blueberry Avocado Muffins


Just a few weeks ago I introduced Bennett to blueberries, since then he wants them whenever he sees the container come out of the fridge. If I allowed him, he would eat just that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The same goes for avocado, if he sees me pull out an avocado he will stop what he is eating and only want that. Oh, he also likes bread. Is there anything he doesn’t like? 

That being said, I love blueberry muffins! With some sugar crumble on top, a hot cup of coffee, and some cinnamon butter. I wanted to use what I had left from the blueberries, and my soon to be bad avocados. So I whipped up some blueberry muffins. Instead of sugar, I substituted applesauce. This makes them a lot healthier then the blueberry muffin you would make yourself. The good thing about toddlers? They don’t know what the good stuff tastes like yet! I will forewarn you, Bennett inhaled these. Me? I will stick to my muffins with the calories good stuff please. 

Bennett’s Blueberry Avocado Muffins 
Recipe adapted from Baby Foode
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 ripe avocado, seeded and peeled
1/2 cup applesauce
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 YoBaby yogurt any flavor 
1 pint organic blueberries

Heat oven to 375 and spray or use a nonstick mini muffin tin.

In a bowl stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Place avocado and applesauce in your mixer and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add in the egg. Add the vanilla, yogurt, and cinnamon and mix well. 

Pour in the flour mixture a little at a time mixing until all is combined. Fold in the blueberries. Using a small spoon, spoon mix into muffin tin. 

Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. After 5 minutes, take out and cool on cooling rack.

After completely cool, store in freezer in a gallon freezer bag or freezer safe container.

Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let Next time you get ready to potty train don’t let ANYONE tell you that one gender is easier than the other. Kids are kids and they each have their own personality. My daughter is very much into doing things herself without help—so potty training had to be done by her not the experts (myself). I used the same potty training technique that I used with the boys, and it did take a bit longer for her to get it—but that’s because she took what I told her to do and did her own thing. 🤣 The next big step? Moving to a big girl bed. I’m not ready. 😭
Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing Ok smoothie, ice cream—it’s all the same thing. Elevate your @corepower drink by using the @ninjakitchen Creami. To prep my ice cream I pour my drink into the container the night before with some bananas. The next morning it’s ready, I mix it twice on lite ice cream. If it seems like it’s not mixing well just add a splash of milk. I typically like to add Lilly’s Chocolate Chips, but they were missing so I found the marshmallows and said whatever and threw some in. I then mixed it on “mix in” and it seriously tastes like a frosty. It is delicious!
