Homemade Copycat Little Bites Mini Muffins Recipe

Looking for a healthier version of Little Bites mini muffins that you can make at home for pennies? This copycat Little Bites recipe tastes just as good as the store-bought variety, so your kiddos will go crazy for them! (Check out my Stop Buying Store-Bought series for more recipes like this!)

These Copycat Little Bites Muffins are SO easy to make!

My kids love the boxed Little Bites mini muffins and I’ve periodically bought them when they go on sale.

I’ve been having SO much fun coming up with homemade recipes to replace store-bought items we regularly buy. So recently, I got to thinking that I could likely re-create them at home with healthier ingredients and for much less cost.

Wouldn’t you know, we love the homemade version!

They are super quick and easy to whip up and use much more nutritious ingredients than the store-bought muffins. Plus, they are significantly less expensive!
