Loaded with fresh orange flavor, a hint of cinnamon and ginger, and shredded carrots, these Orange Carrot Oat Muffins are an easy, healthy and fun way to start your day, for kids and adults – My kids absolutely LOVE these muffins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As a parent, have you ever made something healthy for your kids and they LOVE it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When that happens I get this weird, immediate sense of pride. I think I puff my chest out a bit and sit up a little straighter, like I conquered the world. Cause, ya’ll, if I can get my kids to eat something NEW and HEALTHY, then I HAVE<\/strong><\/em> in fact conquered the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sounds dramatic and pitiful, but… it’s true if you have picky eaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These healthy Orange Carrot Oat Muffins are a fun and easy way to get that Momma Bear pride, with no sacrifice in flavor or having to make something crazy, like food that has animal faces on it. Sounds like fun when I see the cute pictures, but I don’t want to make the time to create pancakes that look like cute bears every morning<\/strong>. Sorry! Maybe for Holidays… that’s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I do instead for everyday breakfasts? Fun, healthy muffins that are packed with flavor and easy to make.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My usual go-to to make a muffin “fun” for kids (and myself!) is to add chocolate chips. That ALWAYS helps. BUT lately my son is on a chocolate chip restriction \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, he’ll pick his way around every breakfast I make to pick out the chocolate chips and that’s all he eats.<\/em><\/strong> Creative, resourceful, and smart. Also, ornery and wasteful! So let’s dodge the chocolate-chip-pickers all together and make a breakfast that’s a fun flavor that kids love and won’t have to pick around in to enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what my son said? “It’s like drinking orange juice!”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My kids don’t get juice, at least from us, that often (from grandparents? Now that’s another story…). To be able to eat something for breakfast that TASTES LIKE JUICE was the BOMB, as far as my son was concerned. My 1 year old daughter? She loved these muffins too, she just can’t quite voice it in the same way my son can… yet \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Momma Bear is happy to see her kids eating a homemade breakfast, without picking around in it, and even happier knowing these Orange Carrot Oat Muffins are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
