These vegan, gluten-free Baby Berry Oat Flour Muffins are made with fruit and veggie purees, and they contain no added sugar, salt, eggs, soy, nuts, dairy, or wheat, making them a healthy, plant-based, and allergen-friendly way to nourish babies six months and older with nutritious vegetables and fruits appropriate for their stage of development. These baby oat flour muffins are great for baby led weaning (learn more about baby led weaning here), as young children can pick up and eat these soft muffins, and they are packed with nutrition to help contribute important nutrients to your child’s diet. Oat flour recipes, like these muffins, are a great start for your young child’s nutrition. Is oat flour gluten-free? Yes, oats are a gluten-free grain, however, if you must avoid gluten for a medical condition you should look for certified gluten-free oats that have been carefully processed to avoid gluten contamination. You can make oat flour yourself by blending the oats in a blender, as I do in this recipe.

Make up a whole batch of these baby muffins, then freeze to pull out as you need them.

Remember, it’s important to start children early on eating their fruits and vegetables. Research shows that early experiences with nutritious plant-based foods and flavor variety increase the likelihood that kids will choose a healthier diet because they’ve come to like the tastes and diversity of flavors and textures of these foods. So, bake up a quick batch that will offer nutritious options for babies to reach for at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack-time. This is a great grab-and-go favorite in the household—and not just for baby! Watch the whole family get into this healthy baby muffin habit.

I served these petite baby muffins on these tiny vintage child’s tea set plates—my very own from when I was a young child!

Description

These added sugar-free, plant-based Baby Berry Oat Flour Muffins—filled with fruit, veggies, and oats—are allergen-friendly and ideal for babies six months and older who are ready to start feeding themselves.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place oats in the container of a blender or food processor and process until it achieves a fine flour consistency.
  3. Add pouches, oat milk, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and cinnamon to the container, and process until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared mini-muffin pans. This recipe makes 24 1-tablespoon mini-muffins.
  5. Place in the oven and bake 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through to desired crispness (cooking less will produce a soft, dense, moist muffin; cooking more will produce a crisp, less moist and dense muffin).
