- 2 ripe bananas
- 3 dl Unna gruel & porridge powder (choose the variant that suits your child's age)
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons oil or butter
- Optional flavoring. In the example we have used 1 pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon of honey (not for children under 1 year old) and 1 tsp of real vanilla powder. Other options can be cinnamon or 1 dl of berries of your choice.
Do this:
- Set the oven to 175°C.
- Mash the bananas and mix with the eggs and then the gruel & porridge powder and baking powder.
- Add any seasoning.
- Fill muffin tins and bake in the middle of the oven for 15-25 minutes. Check with a skewer when they are done (the skewer should come out dry).
Tip! The muffins are great to freeze and thaw as needed.
