how to make Toddler Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups white whole wheat flour (also called golden wholegrain flour)
• 3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats (jumbo rolled oats)
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds (milled flax seeds)
• 1 small apple (grated with peel)
• 2 medium eggs
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/2 small apple (chopped into 1/2-cm pieces)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 handful blueberries (aim for about 2-3 blueberries in each muffin)
• 1/4 medium carrot (grated)
• 1 tablespoon raisins
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Grease or line a 24-hole mini muffin tin.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and flax seeds. Fold in the grated apple.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Then mix in the milk and melted butter.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and fold together gently. Be careful not to over mix.
5. Divide the muffin batter evenly into 4 bowls. In each bowl, gently mix in one of the mix-in ingredients. You can choose how many types of muffins to make.
6. Using a cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. You should get 6 mini muffins for each variety.
7. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the muffins are cooked through and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly on a cooling rack.
