Like carrot cake, only in pancake form, this is a fun breakfast to make for the family. They’re a great option for babies eating finger foods on up to adults!

Fluffy Carrot Pancakes (with Yogurt!)
These hearty Carrot Pancakes pack nice natural sweetness from the carrots and applesauce. This can be a thicker pancake batter, so know that you can thin it slightly, if desired, by adding a few tablespoons of milk.

This bacon, egg, and cheese muffin recipe is a perfect brunch dish, especially when you have little ones underfoot.

I like adding the thyme in these for extra flavor, but it's optional! Be sure to grease your muffin tin well with nonstick spray to help prevent these from sticking to the pan. A nonstick mini muffin pan works best here.
