These baby led weaning inspired spinach banana muffins for my son were a hit! Spinach and banana are the main ingredients, making them tasty and healthy for your little one. Plus, they freeze and reheat like a dream.
This recipe was a big hit with my son when he was 6 months! I really wanted to find a way to have something quick and easy at the ready, that was jam packed with nutrients. This has spinach and is made with baby oatmeal, so it has lots of iron! Plus some protein from the eggs. All in all, a healthy and delicious recipe to add to your rotation. Plus, it takes all of 5 mins to throw together, and then you bake it. Boom, done!
I froze them all afterwards and would microwave 2-3 at a time for around 30 seconds until thawed/warm but not too hot. They’re on the mushy side, which worked super well for him at 6 months. I think I might try again with flour next time, since he can handle more texture/less mushy things.
This post is all about my spinach banana muffins recipe!
