Ingredients 

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/4 cup Beech-Nut just sweet potato puree (see notes for alternatives)

  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray or line 16 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or paper liners.
  • In a blender, add in the oats, banana, puree, egg, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and allspice and blend on high for 1-2 minutes, scrapping down sides when needed, or until the oats are completely broken down and the batter is smooth.
  • Add in the baking powder, baking soda and salt and blend on low for 20 seconds.

  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Let cool and enjoy.

Notes

Notes about Oats:  if you want to make these gluten free make sure to use oats specified as ‘gluten free’. These are our favorite brand. 
Notes on Sweet Potato Puree: you can also use 1/4 cup cooked sweet potato in this recipe. It can be puree or just chunked. 
Age: from about 6+ months through adults – great for baby-led weaning or finger food stage
Servings: 16 mini muffins or 6 regular muffins
Storage: will last in a container on the counter or in the fridge for 4 days or in the freezer for 2 months. I leave my container cracked open so they don’t get too mushy.
