I have looked at a lot of recipe’s for toddlers and finally decided to try this one. I am trying to expand our toddlers food choices and I found a winner!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 1/4 Oats
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (next time I will do 1 tsp)
1 Cup Applesauce (3 applesauce pouches from Costco)
1/2 Cup Buttermilk (or Greek Yogurt)
1/2 Cup firmly Packed Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
1 Large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cup Blueberries (I used frozen but you can use fresh as well). Make sure to wash the frozen blueberries so your batter will not be all blue.
Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees
-Line muffin pan with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray
-In a large bowl combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
-In a medium bowl combine applesauce, buttermilk, brown sugar, canola oil and beaten egg
-Mix wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Do not over mix batter. Fold in the Blueberries.
-Put batter in muffin cups. I actually had extra after filling the 12 cups so I made 5 mini muffins in addition.
-Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin from the middle of the tray comes out clean.
-Once cooled I froze half of the muffins and will enjoy the rest
Our son ate 3 mini muffins in a row. That is how much he liked them! He loves to “help” cook and bake with me and this was a fun recipe. It is also a healthier muffin to make.
