Savory Carrot Muffins

These savory carrot muffins are flavorful and became a quick favorite for my son! A great snack or meal.

Someone messaged me asking if I had any savory carrot muffins, which is what inspired me to try and make them. So thankful they reached out cause these were a hit! They’re veggie packed, but super flavorful from the cheese and seasonings. My son was a huge fan, especially when they were fresh out of the oven. They work great for meal prep, and freeze well too.

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 muffins. 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. You can easily swap in dairy free milk and cheese (or omit cheese). It should work just fine with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target.

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge 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 then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen.

Best served warm!

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

Any cheese or seasonings should sub in just fine.

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!

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