Description

These Beet Muffins for Babies are a nutritious and vibrant treat made with wholesome ingredients like ripe banana, cooked beets, oat flour, and flaxseed meal. Naturally sweetened and packed with fiber and nutrients, these mini muffins are perfect for introducing your little one to new flavors with a soft, moist texture.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cooked beets (steamed or roasted, approximately 80g)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal (or flaxseed flour)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare tin: Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend wet ingredients: Add the cooked beets, coconut oil, ripe banana, and eggs to a blender. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and evenly combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, flaxseed meal (or flour), cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  4. Combine batters: Pour the smooth beet and banana mixture from the blender into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to form a uniform batter without overmixing.
  5. Portion batter: Spoon the batter evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling 12 mini muffin molds or 6 regular-sized muffin molds, depending on your preference.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake. Mini muffins require about 15 minutes, while regular-sized muffins need around 20 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.

Notes

  • You can steam or roast the beets according to your preference; steaming is quicker and retains moisture.
  • Using ripe banana adds natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins.
  • Coconut oil can be substituted with another mild-flavored oil if preferred.
  • Make sure the oat flour is gluten-free if required.
  • The muffins are perfect for babies and toddlers and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and muffin size.
