These delicious Blueberry Apple Muffins are delicately sweet, thanks to the use of apple and pear purees for sweetening, instead of table sugar.
While for babies ~8 months + this is perfect, children over the age of 1 may find they like it slightly sweeter and 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup can be added to the mixture to enhance the sweetness.
This recipe is extremely versatile and is actually a doubled batch of our popular Blueberry & Apple Pancakes, simply turned into muffin form!
You can easily interchange the apple and pear purees, depending on what you have to work with and similarly, blueberries can be easily substituted for raspberries. We used frozen, as we are just between seasons in Australia and they are extremely expensive, however, fresh would work equally well if they are available.
