Healthy Toddler Muffins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Toddler Muffins.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and prepare your mini muffin tin with 24 cups or a standard muffin tin with 12 cups by greasing them lightly.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter and brown sugar, beating them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your muffins.

3. Step 3

   Next, introduce the mashed bananas, squash baby food, grated carrots, and beaten eggs to the bowl, stirring until everything is harmoniously blended.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, oat bran, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors.

5. Step 5

   Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined—remember, overmixing is the enemy of fluffy muffins.

6. Step 6

   Spoon the luscious batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full for that perfect rise.

7. Step 7

   Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin emerges clean, signaling deliciousness.

8. Step 8

   Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Step 9

   These delightful muffins can be stored at room temperature for up to two days, or you can freeze them for a longer treat, ensuring you always have a tasty snack on hand.
