These yummy muffins are the perfect snack or even breakfast substitute for children aged 1 year +. They are made with the goodness of rolled oats and wholemeal flour and sweetened with Apples & maple syrup. Feel free to reduce the maple syrup to reduce the sugar content, especially for little ones. You could leave it out, which would make these also suitable for babies 9 month plus. It is important to remember babies and toddlers don't need things as sweet as adults, so don't be afraid to try offering lower sugar / less sweetened options.
