Savanna just started daycare this week. It was way harder for me than for her. I know panic every night about what to pack her for breakfast and lunch. The school is but free as most are, which made me realize how much I use nut products. Savanna is fortunate to not have any allergies, so peanut butter has been a staple in her diet as early as six months. I needed to get creative and come up with some meal items and snacks that are safe for everyone.
These are a spin on the Blueberry Muffins from an earlier post. Although, simpler ingredients and nut free. There is coconut flour, but that’s not a nut product right?? Google says its technically a fruit and a coconut allergy is rare so I will double check with the school to make sure its safe.
