Green goddess muffins, baby recipe, toddler snack, family recipe

These green muffins are suuuper delicious. They are baby and toddler friendly, but can be enjoyed by the whole family- our toddler LOVED them but my boyfriend ate most of ours…

What are the nutritional benefits:

✨These delicious little muffins are packed with green goodness from the spinach and peas

✨With a touch of natural sweetness from the bananas

✨Peas provide protein and fibre, and the eggs provide iron and choline - all are essential nutrients for babies

YOU NEED

WET INGREDIENTS

  • 2 eggs

  • Large handful baby leaf spinach

  • 100g frozen peas (or fresh if you have them!)

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 100mls extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons of ground flax (you can make without if you don’t have this!)

DRY INGREDIENTS

  • 160g self raising flour

  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder

TO MAKE

  • Grease your small/mini muffin holes. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees (160 fan)

  • Whack the wet ingredients in a blender. Whizz until smooth.

  • Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine.

  • Add the wet to the dry and fold in with a big spoon, try not to overmix! You’ll lose the rise and fluffiness

  • Pour the batter into your greased muffin holes.

  • Bake for 13-14 mins or until the muffins are set or a skewer comes out clean

These muffins are suitable from 6-7 months, but can be enjoyed by toddlers too (and adults!)
