Muffins For My Picky Eater

I played with a muffin recipe from one of my cookbooks and was able to sneak in some meat/veggies (both of which my very picky toddler tends to refuse). Followed the package directions from the Namaste muffin mix, added 1/2 cup applesauce, about 1/2 c pureed chicken (I cheated and used baby food), a jar of sweet potato baby food and a jar of carrots. Baked at 375 for about 18 minutes or so.

He ate 2 of them for breakfast. Thought I'd share in case anyone else has a picky toddler and jars of baby food still around.

Without the chicken, these sound like something I would eat. Lots o' veggies! Did you change the other dry or wet ingredients at all?

No, just added them to the prepared muffin mix. Yeah the chicken is a little weird although he didn't notice. He hates the texture of meat.

There are black bean brownie recipes out there also(Weight watchers had one) maybe you can find a gluten-free version also. If he needs protein.

I've never tried this with gluten free brownie mix, but I've done a simplified version w/ regular. Rinsed a can of black beans in the can then filled with enough water to cover, then pureed it all in the blender. Added it to dry brownie mix and baked as usual. No other ingredients. It was great - you'd never guess that it had black beans in it. Maybe I'll give it a try with the Betty Crocker brownie mix, although it seems like a lot of the gluten-free mixes require that you add way more oil than regular so the lack of added fat might be an issue.

Is Namaste a gluten-free muffin mix? I've never heard of it. My daughter is pretty picky and has been terrible lately. I'm not sure I could get her to eat a muffin, no matter what it taste like. Did you try it?

Yes, Namaste makes a gluten-free muffin mix. I'm sure it doesn't have to be that brand, that's just what my store had. I didn't try it, but my (gluten eating) husband did and he liked it. Although he'll eat anything so that may not be the best barometer :D . I'm just glad to have something to add to the list of things my kid will eat!

Here is a link to the black bean brownie thread. It tastes wonderful and I have my coworkers ask me for it. They can't believe it is made out of beans..no flour at all. I have used various things for sweetner: sugar, splenda, erythritol/stevia and truvia. Like the regular sugar and truvia the best.

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
