Muffins for babies

 

Ingredients:

- 1 ripe banana, mashed

- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

- 1/4 cup milk (you can use breast milk or formula for younger babies)

- 1 egg

- 1 cup oat flour (you can make your own by blending rolled oats until fine)

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- Optional: a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for flavor (avoid adding sugar or salt)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a mini muffin tin.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, milk, and egg.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour and baking powder.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

7. Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

These muffins are soft and easy for babies to eat, and you can customize them by adding mashed fruits or vegetables for added nutrition and flavor. Enjoy sharing these nutritious treats with your little one!
