I always keep a supply in the freezer, he loves them frozen especially when new teeth are coming in! Adults love them too. Great for play groups!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for baking. They also help keep the muffins moist.
  • Use a muffin pan with a nonstick coating: This will help the muffins release easily from the pan.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely: This will help prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These toddler muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option that are perfect for little ones. They are easy to make and can be customized with different ingredients to suit your child's preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty treat for your toddler, give these muffins a try!
