Start yours and your babyβs day off right with these delicious and super nutritious breakfast muffins. Made using wholesome ingredients like carrots, apples, sunflower seeds, Greek yogurt and wholemeal flour, these muffins are the perfect breakfast finger food for your little one to enjoy in the morning.
To serve to babies – Ensure you are always sitting with your baby when they are eating. Serve a mini muffin with a side of fruit. I like to use sliced pear, mango or strawberries.
For older children serve 2 mini muffins or 1 large muffin in their lunchbox.
These muffins are perfect for school as they contain no sugar whatsoever!
The only sweetness comes from the delicious apple. You can make them even sweeter by adding a mashed banana to the mixture. @babyledfeeding

βοΈCRISPY Smashed Potatoes with Green Goddess Dipπ These were seriously addictive! I found all my ingredients at my localΒ @dunnesstores. I love that they have such amazing quality Irish produce. Itβs made all the difference in this recipe. Check out the full step by step below ‡οΈ
Goddess Green Sauce 1 avocado Handful fresh coriander Handful fresh parsley 50g (1/3 cup) cashews 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 80ml (1/3 cup) water 1-2 cloves roasted garlic (better for little tummies) Juice 1/2 lime Season with black pepper
Preheat oven to 180ΒΊC.
Boil the potatoes until cooked. They should be soft on the inside but not falling apart. Empty onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Cut a cross into each one, then smash using a glass or cup. Drizzle over a little olive oil, then roast for 25-30 minutes.
To make the Goddess sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Serve the potatoes with fresh coriander leaves and dip!
πΆπ» For Babies, cut the potatoes into wedges and roast without smashing. Remove from the oven before they turn crispy to keep them really safe.
