Banana Yogurt Muffins

These little banana yogurt muffins are slightly sweet and super light and fluffy!

These are a solid recipe to add into your weekly meal prep! No added sweetener, but perfectly sweet. Not overwhelmingly banana flavored or dense as some banana breads and muffins can be. They are light and fluffy, with a little boost of protein from the yogurt. Plus they are super quick and easy to make!

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has eggs and dairy. If you’d like to try it with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target. This post highlights other ideas for egg substitutes in recipes. A dairy free yogurt should work fine.

STORAGE

I stored these on the counter for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight and serve, or heat up via toasting or microwaving. You could also toast or microwave from frozen.

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

I haven’t tried yet with any subs or add ins, but let me know if you do!

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Mini muffin tin – this is the one we have. I love it because you don’t need to use liners with it and it washes really easily!

Masher – I like this one because it doesn’t get stuck in the drawer!

Cookie scoop – I love using this to scoop meatballs, pancake batter, and tons more. I use this thing ALL the time when cooking for my son (and just in general)
