muffins
My daughter will eat pretty much anything in muffin form so I am trying out loads of sweet or salty muffin recipes, trying to make them as healthy as possible. This is by far our family favorite sweet muffin.
If your family won't eat all 12 on the same day, you can keep these cover in the airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days of freeze and defrost when needed.

Delicious Nutty Banana Muffins
This recipe is really easy and quick to make, about 15 minutes for prep and 30 to bake, it makes 12 pcs of standard size muffins. I just recently upgraded from mini muffin thin tray to silicon 12 pcs muffin tray which is far easier to clean and it lasts way longer than a metal one.

ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup of all-purpose/regular white flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup toasted chopped walnuts (1 cup total)
- ½ cup dark chocolate chopped (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 stick salted butter (1/2 cup), melted (or coconut oil)
- 3 large ripe mashed bananas
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Mix all ingredients from the dry ingredients list together in a large bowl while you melt butter (or coconut oil).
- In a smaller brown mash 3 ripe bananas, add brown sugar, milk, egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix together dry and wet ingredients just until well combined but don't over mix. Add half of the toasted chopped walnuts & dark chocolate pieces.
- Spoon the mixture into greased silicon muffin trays (I also have individual ones from Ikea which are great), I use coconut oil to grease the muffin tray.

- Bake for 25 minutes in preheated oven or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Useful tools to have:
As a member of various mommy facebook groups and curious mom cook who likes trying new recipes (which are super quick to make) I tried a whole lot of recipes given by moms, nutritionists and cooks throughout the vastness of internet platforms, forums and Pinterest, after Anabela tried the prepared muffins I tweaked each recipe here and there to make it more healthier or more toddler taste buds friendly and I came up with 10 quick, easy and healthy recipes for your fussy eater toddler.
Before listing out the recipes I listed some useful kitchen tools and gadgets which are not mandatory but are super useful for preparing these muffins, although most you can prepare by using just fork, 2 mid size bowls, baking pan and the oven. :) The tools listed will make preparation quicker and cleaning after much easier as it all goes into dishwasher and voila, you are done!
All of the recipes are within 8-30 minutes preparation range.
Bellow I am listing some good substitutes in case you want to replace (or omit) any of the ingredients:
- White/brown sugar can be replaced by honey/maple syrup - for every 1 cup of sugar, substitute 1/2 to 2/3 cup honey and reduce oven temperature by 25F
- To avoid egg -measure 1/3 cup applesauce for each egg you are substituting for
- You can replace white flour with integral flour or you may substitute oats for up to one-third the amount of flour called for in the recipe
- To replace butter for coconut oil - measure coconut oil in a one-to-one ratio and substitute it for butter
