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!

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 🙂
Shannon says
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.
