Vegan Baby Food Muffins

gluten free option, one bowl recipe
Vegan Baby Food Muffins

I’ll be honest I didn’t ever think about adding baby food into anything until recently, but provided your baby likes purees and is accustomed to the taste I think they are such a fun easy and creative way to make treats for them . It’s perfect for slightly older babies or if your wanting to try more of a baby led weaning approach.

For this recipe I used a brand of baby food that I already knew my baby loved. All organic natural ingredients from Bubs Australia. Although technically I think any purees pouch would work I tried using a pouch that contained apple so it acted like applesauce in the muffins. Pureed pumpkin or sweet potato would also work great for sweet or savoury muffins.

My  one year old absolutely gobbled these up! He loved them! They make quite a big batch , enough for a normal muffin tray and a mini one. I froze the left overs and pull them out whenever he’s not too keen on whatever I’m giving him for breakfast and give him some of these muffins with fruit and coconut yogurt instead. Always a winner . If you want to keep them completely gluten free use gluten free oat flour . Also you can omit the nuts if your worried about allergies or chocking. My Bub does ok with them now but I definitely would not have given him any when he was younger so just do what you think is best !

Enjoy!
