Yield: 24 baby muffins
Calories: 50kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup Mashed Bananas equivalent to 2 small bananas
- ½ cup Unsweetened Apple sauce
- ¼ cup Melted Butter or light olive oil or melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup Milk of Choice can use breastmilk, baby formula, or dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice or apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup Quick Oats
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ⅓ cup Shredded Carrots
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 12-hole mini muffin trays with oil spray. Set them aside.
- Peel, mash the bananas with a fork and measure 1/2 cup - precision is important to avoid gummy muffins.
- Place the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl and combine with applesauce, melted butter, milk, and lemon juice.
- Stir in the remaining dry ingredients: flour, quick oats, baking powder, baking soda, and shredded carrots.
- Fill the muffin holes with about 1-2 tablespoons of batter.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven until golden-brown, and a pick inserted in the center of the baby muffins comes out clean - about 15-18 minutes.
- Cool them down immediately on a wire rack.
- Serve plain or with fruits and yogurt on the side.
Storage
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze in zip lock bags and thaw 3 hours before eating.
