We All Love These 'Baby' Banana Muffins

When I find a recipe I like I save it on my phone, print it, and reuse it as much as possible. This is one of these that I’ve made dozens of times for events for the little ones because there’s always that one baby that is allergic to eggs or milk or is just starting solids. This baby banana muffins recipe has been a hit every single time, and not just for a baby, but all the kids and parents too.

I like to make these in big batches for party or big gathering type occasions with other moms and their kids and they go quickly because they’re so easy to eat.

These baby banana muffins I mostly make for the kids because they havebasic ingredients and are good for kids with more common allergies because they don’t contain dairy or eggs (which I substitute for applesauce).

Sometimes my son likes to help, he loves when I bake! It’s a great way to get our children to interact with us and learn how to help around the house.

How To Bake With Your Baby or Toddler

My kids really love to bake with me.

With a little one, there are many ways to have them be part of the action.

A baby can sit nearby in a highchair or playpen and be entertained with some baking tools while watching.A toddler can get a little more involved by standing on a chair or a learning towernext to you or sitting on the counter.

My kids loved playing with a cleanmixing bowl, measuring cups, andspatulato play on their own. They also like helping me placelinerson the muffin pan (which I don’t usually use).

Baby Approved Banana Muffins Recipe

Prep Time

8 minutes

Cook Time

17 minutes

Total Time

25 minutes

Ingredients

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 large eggs (I use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce instead)
2/3 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
cinnamon sugar topping*

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
In medium bowl (I use my mixer), combine the sugar, oil, eggs and stir with wire whisk.
Add in bananas and vanilla, whisk until combined.
Add in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir together until just combined.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Each muffin cup will be almost to the top. About 3/4 full.
Sprinkle batter with a little bit of your cinnamon sugar mix.
Bake 17 to 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and muffins are high and rounded on top.
Serve warm or let cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

This batch is for 2 bananas, which should make approximately 12 regular sized muffins or 24 mini muffins.
*Cinnamon Sugar can be purchased or mixed at home. A good ratio for the blend is 1/4 cup granulated white sugar with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
