  • On-the-go snacking

  • Lunchboxes
  • Picnics in the park
  • Easy after-school snacks
  • Quick breakfast wake-up snack
  • Bananas are rich in potassium, fiber, and natural sweetness, making them a baby-friendly fruit.
  • Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential vitamins like choline, which supports brain development.
  • Avocado oil is full of healthy fats that fuel your baby’s growing body and brain.
  • Spelt flour offers an alternative to all-purpose flour that’s easier to digest and contains extra fiber.
  • Cinnamon not only adds flavor but also brings antioxidants.
  • For babies (9+ months): Serve as is, broken into small bites, or pair with a little unsweetened yogurt for dipping.
  • For toddlers: Add a smear of nut butter or sunflower seed butter on top for extra protein.
  • For older kids: Pack them into lunchboxes with fruit and cheese for a complete mini-snack, with maple syrup for a dip.
  • For adults: They go perfectly with coffee or tea, because let’s be honest, parents need snacks too!
  • Flour – White spelt flour works beautifully here, but you can also use white wheat flour or all-purpose flour. Each will give a slightly different texture but still delicious results.
  • Milk – Any non-dairy milk (like almond, oat, soy, or coconut) works in this recipe. If you prefer, you can use regular cow’s milk for toddlers and older kids.
  • Oil – Avocado oil makes the muffins moist and nutrient-rich, but melted coconut oil or a light olive oil can also be used. For a dairy option, melted butter works too.
  • Eggs – If you want to make these egg-free, you can swap each egg for a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water) and add 1 tsp of lemon juice.
  • Sweetness – These muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, but for toddlers or older kids, you could add a touch of maple syrup or date syrup if you’d like them a bit sweeter.
