Babies are limited at what foods they’re able to eat at 9 months. We want to introduce new flavors and textures to her to help her have a wide pallet. My daughter wanted to make something that they could both enjoy together. I made these kid friendly apple oatmeal baby muffins when my first daughter was a baby and they were a huge hit.
The ingredients couldn’t be more simple. We always have these items on hand. I love that baking helps my 5 year old learn math in a fun way. Baking for others also helps her express her love for them which is so sweet. Sophia has been on a baking kick after attending a Baking with Barbie class at Sprouts Cooking School. She loved it so much that she’ll be going for their Once Upon a Time week long summer camp class! I can’t wait to see what a week of baking inspires her to make for friends and family.
Kid Friendly Apple Oatmeal Baby Muffins
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 C. oatmeal (I used old fashioned for this recipe, not quick cooking oats)
3 bananas, mashed
1/2 C. unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 C. brown sugar
1 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. aluminum free baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
*You can also add other ingredients like chocolate chunks or nuts if they wont’ be given to a baby
Baking Instructions
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
-Combine the vanilla, applesauce, egg, bananas and brown sugar, mixing well.
-Add in the salt, cinnamon, flour, baking soda, baking powder and oatmeal.
-Fill each muffin liner about 1/2 way with the batter.
-Bake 18-20 minutes. Around 18-19 minutes insert a toothpick into a muffin to check to see if it is cooked through. If it comes out clean, they are done.
We had a fun time making these baby muffins for her baby sister. They make for a great snack to take with us to the library or freeze for later on. What is your favorite muffin flavor to bake? If you’re new to baking with your kids you can see some tips I wrote here.
We have been compensated a week of summer camp through Sprouts Cooking School in exchange for spreading the word about their amazing classes. All opinions are my own (including how much I love their classes and these muffins)!
