\"healthier<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Any other parents out there seem to spend their life feeding their kids snacks? My kids are snack monsters. No matter how much they eat for their main meals they still ask for snacks three or four times a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying this many snacks can be expensive so I try as much as possible to make my own bars and muffins. It works out much cheaper than the shop bought version and you can of course control the ingredients too, making them a lot healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n

Healthier Chocolate Chip Muffins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My kids at the moment are loving these Healthier Chocolate Chip Muffins. They are made with plain flour and I’ve added some oats for a bit of fibre and then sweetened with banana and honey. You could make them with half plain and half wholemeal flour too if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the chocolate chips it’s really up to you which you use. I generally just use normal milk or dark chocolate chips but you can also use sugar-free ones too if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is a great recipe to get the kids involved in making. All of the ingredients are put into a food processor and blitzed until smooth so they’re really easy to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the recipe below I recommend using silicone muffin cases if you can. Because these muffins are a bit healthier with less fat than normal they have a tendency to stick to paper cases so silicone cases are a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storing Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My recipe makes twelve muffins and they will keep in an airtight container for up to three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can also be frozen so they are great to make in bulk in advance and keep in the freezer. They’ll defrost at room temperature within a couple of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n
