Kid Muffins

I searched high and low for the right muffin recipe for my 9-month-old that used common ingredients. Couldn’t find it, so I tweaked five or six different recipes and came up with this one!

Original recipe makes 12 muffins

Ingredients

2 teaspoons coconut oil, or as needed
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 ripe bananas, mashed
4 1/2 ounces applesauce
2/3 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup bread flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • READY IN

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups with 2 teaspoons coconut oil.
  2. Soak raisins in warm water in a small bowl until rehydrated, about 10 minutes; drain. Chop raisins.
  3. Beat 1/4 cup coconut oil, butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl. Add eggs, mashed bananas, applesauce, and grated carrot; beat to incorporate. Gently fold bread flour, whole-wheat flour, flax seed, chopped raisins, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract into the banana mixture using a rubber spatula; pour into prepared muffin cups.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
