These tasty and moist wholemeal fruit muffins are a more nutrient-dense version of a household favourite.
Naturally sweetened with our Nourishing Bubs fruit purees to boost the fibre and vitamin content. The maple syrup is optional and particularly for younger children, this is certainly NOT necessary. We have used wholemeal flour as a healthier alternative to more refined white flour.
While the recipe makes 10 standard muffins, it can easily be used to make 24+ mini muffins (reduce cooking time to ~10-15 mins) which would be suitable for toddlers. Any fruit can be used as a decorative topping but we opted for Nectarines as they are currently in season, and deliciously sweet and delicious. For younger children, we would recommend chopping into smaller pieces.
This recipe is suitable for children aged 9 months and up and makes the perfect lunchbox addition, providing a nutritious boost of energy!
