About this idea
Birdie Bakes Co started in our own kitchens. We’re two moms tired of the daily battle to get fruits, veggies, fiber, and protein into our kids’ diets. Muffins were a guaranteed yes, but homemade versions were messy and time-consuming, and store-bought mixes were highly processed, high sugar, and veggie-free. So we built what didn’t exist. Birdie Bakes Co is the only muffin mix made with real fruits and veggies — banana, apple, carrot, sweet potato, and ginger — that’s truly convenient: one bowl, under 25 minutes. No artificial ingredients, no seed oils, 50% less sugar than leading mixes, plus 4g protein and 18% daily fiber per serving. The result? Muffins kids love and parents feel good about. Birdie Bakes Co is quickly becoming a weekly staple for modern families who want better nutrition without more effort. We’re building the muffin mix parents have been waiting for.
Impact
Birdie Bakes Co makes it easier for families to eat better every day. By turning a kid-approved treat into a source of real fruits, veggies, fiber, and protein, we help parents nourish their kids without adding stress, time, or guilt. Our impact shows up in small, repeatable wins — healthier breakfasts, snacks, and lunchboxes that families can actually stick with. Over time, we’re helping reshape how kids experience food, proving that nutritious options can be both convenient and genuinely delicious.
What I'll do with $5,000
We would use the $5,000 to fund R&D for our next flavor — a gluten-free, organic-certified muffin mix, which is the #1 request we hear from our customers. Developing a new SKU requires upfront investment in formulation, ingredient sourcing, testing, and small-batch production before a single unit is sold. As a fully bootstrapped business, every dollar directly impacts how quickly we can bring better options to families. This funding would help us expand the number of households we can serve while staying true to what parents care about most: trust, transparency, and real nutrition. As parents ourselves, we’re building this brand alongside our community — listening closely and investing in what matters to them.
