Toddler-Approved Mini Egg Muffins with Organ Meats & Asparagus
If you’ve ever wondered how to get your toddler to eat organ meats—or if the thought of serving asparagus without protest feels like a pipe dream—this mini egg muffin recipe is your new best friend. It’s nutrient-dense, easy to batch cook, freezer-friendly, and actually toddler-approved (yes, my daughter devoured them!).
Here’s how I made them, why they’re so powerful for growing bodies, and how to serve them in a way that feels like a treat.
The Recipe:
Mini Egg Muffins with Organ Meats & Asparagus
Ingredients:
✅ 1 cup cooked Force of Nature venison + venison organ blend + ground beef
✅ ½ to ⅔ cup steamed asparagus
✅ 3 pasture-raised eggs
✅ Seasoning:
Baja mineral salt (rich in trace minerals)
Tellicherry black pepper (anti-inflammatory)
Smoked paprika (adds warmth & flavor)
Garlic powder (immune-boosting)
Ground turmeric (gut & brain health)
Cumin seed powder (aids digestion)
Optional Toppings/Dip:
Lebanese Labneh
Za’atar seasoning
Extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed)
Instructions:
Steam your asparagus until tender.
Brown the meat + organ blend and season with your spices of choice.
In a mixing bowl or container, combine:

Let cool slightly before serving. Store extras in the fridge or freezer.
Why Organ Meats Are a Superfood for Toddlers
Most toddlers are iron-deficient. Organ meats are nature’s multivitamin—especially liver, heart, and kidney, which are rich in:
Heme iron (the most bioavailable form)
Vitamin A for vision, immunity, and skin health
B vitamins, including B12 and folate, which support brain development
Zinc and selenium, which are essential for immune strength and thyroid function
CoQ10, found in heart, for cellular energy production
Force of Nature’s blended meats are a parent’s dream—they sneak the organs in seamlessly so your child never knows!
Asparagus for Gut & Brain Health
Steamed asparagus is easier to digest and provides:
Prebiotic fiber – to feed good gut bacteria
Folate – for cognitive and nervous system development
Vitamin K – for bone and blood health
Glutathione – a powerful antioxidant that helps detoxification
It’s an underappreciated veggie that becomes mild and neutral in a blended muffin—no bitterness, no battle.
Why These Spices Matter for Toddlers
This isn’t just flavor—it’s function:
Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory, supports brain development
Cumin – Aids digestion and soothes the gut
Black pepper – Enhances nutrient absorption
Garlic powder – Antimicrobial and immunity-supportive
Smoked paprika – Adds depth without heat
Introducing spices early expands your child’s palate, supports digestion, and boosts nutrient absorption.
Labneh + Za’atar = Nutrient Boost & Flavor Fun
Labneh is a cultured dairy food rich in probiotics, calcium, and fat-soluble vitamins—easier to digest than standard yogurt or cheese. Perfect for toddlers transitioning into more fermented foods.
Za’atar is a savory Middle Eastern herb blend (sumac, thyme, sesame seeds) known for its antioxidant and mineral content—delicious when swirled into olive oil.
Why This Meal is Perfect for Toddlers
✔️ Balanced macros: protein, healthy fats, and fiber
✔️ Gentle textures for baby-led weaning or self-feeding
✔️ Freezer-friendly, batch-cook approved
✔️ High in choline, iron, B vitamins, and prebiotics
✔️ Easy to reheat and serve with dips, fermented veggies, or fresh fruit
Pro Tips:
Freeze extras in an airtight container and thaw overnight in the fridge or reheat gently.
Add collagen or grated raw cheese for more texture and gut support.
Swap asparagus for steamed spinach, zucchini, or carrots for variety.
