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!

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• ¼ cup raisins
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup warm water
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup bread flour
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
• 2 teaspoons coconut oil, or as needed
• ¼ cup coconut oil, softened
• 4 ½ ounces applesauce
• ⅔ cup grated carrot
• ½ cup whole-wheat flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups with 2 teaspoons coconut oil.

Step 2

Soak raisins in warm water in a small bowl until rehydrated, about 10 minutes; drain. Chop raisins.

Step 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.

Step 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.
