Muffin tins are the perfect vehicles for serving a lot of snacks all at once! All you have to do is fill each cup with whatever kind of snack you and your friends are in the mood for — like dips, chips, crackers, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and beyond! This also makes for a perfect tool if you’re having a lot of kids coming over that want a lot of different snacks.
but when she saw morning tea in a muffin tin she was intrigued. She shared this with her 19 month old brother. They both loved it and it was a great opportunity to try a few new things with some familiar foods. I started small and let them ask for more of the foods they wanted. (Which was only the veggie chips). Swipe 
to see how it went! . Todayβs morning tea included: Oat, Coconut & Honey Balls (from previous post)
Veggie Chips Grapes 
Cashews 
Kiwi fruit 
Apricot 
Pepitas Sultanas Mini Banana Honey Pikelets 
Paint
Whether you’re a painter or you want to have a paint party for you or your kids, use your muffin tins as a palette! All you have to do is squeeze the paint into the cups, and if you want to do any mixing, you can keep some empty to do that.
any surface that I can mix my paint in is fair game. #wednesdaywisdom #paintmixing #muffintinInfusions
Whether it’s for water or cocktails, muffin tins are a great way to put out some garnishes and things to infuse your drinks with for a party! Add things like lemon slices, cucumber, herbs like mint, and anything else that suits the kind of drinks you’ll be serving.
freeze dried bananas 
these foods are all LEFTOVER from other meals. Using these foods for muffin tin meals cuts down on food waste. I do NOT cook or prepare anything at all for muffin tin meals. I clean out our leftovers on Monday because Iβm home from work and have time. You can do this on any day of the week at any meal. This is what works for US! This is a MINIATURE MUFFIN PAN! Each compartment holds approximately 1-2tbsp depending upon the food! ββββββ This week was EXTRA fun for mama because I wanted to see if Jax would go for the fresh strawberry and banana or the freeze dried (same foods- different textures) OR if he would eat them both! I honestly didnβt care either way because this is our first time having the freeze dried fruits (and carrot chips). I found them both on sale and thought it would be a fun experiment 
for me 
I was very surprised (and happy) that he prefers the fresh!! He tried the freeze dried and didnβt seem interested. I felt like an anthropologist today haha just observing what was happening and making notes The post These Muffin Tin Hacks Will Blow Your Mind appeared first on Beautiful Trends Today.
