I have boys who are never full. I do not even finish cleaning the kitchen before they are back asking for more food. One way I’ve learned to counteract this is to make a drawer for them in the fridge. I fill it with fruit, ready to go veggies, cheese, yogurt. I also make muffins, like these apple streusel muffins.
I bake different muffins every 4 or 5 days, fill a bowl with them, and leave them on the counter as an anytime snack. My 9 year old eats at least 3 a day.
These Apple Streusel Muffins are good for you and taste great.
You can also drizzle a glaze over top of them. I don’t always because I want to keep it simple and don’t want the extra sugar, but it is super yummy that way too.
