Are you looking for a way to spruce up a kid meal and/or try to get kids to eat a variety of foods? Why not try muffin tins meal to make eating fun 🙂 Muffin tin meals are nothing new, I’ve actually been doing it with my daughter since she was little. She loves the eggs-style snacks too! It takes little to no effort and is a great way to make a meal or snack kid friendly and you can also clean out the fridge with leftovers!

What fun for a special snack or even a play date. Line some muffin tins with cupcake liners and add a few snacks and you’re good to go!
Have some random leftovers and don’t know what to do? Are your kids begging for a ‘snack’ dinner? Try muffin tins for dinner. You can add a hodge podge of foods from your fridge and your kids will be so happy. Set up a movie and lay a blanket down for dinner and a movie!

Such a fun idea, and I love your suggestion of doing this on a blanket while watching a movie. My toddler would be all over that! 🙂
This is totally toddler approved! It’s fun to mix and match foods they might not normally try too!
Great idea! I’ve done this with the ice tray, but never thought of muffin tins. My toddler will love this. Thank you!
Great idea for presentation! Especially when they have friends over 🙂
Yes, perfect for a play date or just something new 🙂
How fun – what a good idea this is! Our muffin tin might get tossed but hey, WHO CARES it would be something knew to try 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, I’ll let you know how our muffin tin meal goes this weekend!
*knew = new 🙂
Please do! I bet your kiddos love it!!
Yeah – so I’m probably totally going to use these for myself, but oh well, if I can fill it with healthy stuff – also, this seems like a great way to keep your snacking under control: you get one tray per day, and that’s it 🙂
Perfect for adults too!!! Great idea!
Love this! So I don’t have kids myself, but I love making snacks with muffin trays because it gives me a chance to eat a variety of things with portion control. I use silicone baking cups.
