a fish-shaped bun with Pumpkin & Banana
This recipe is aimed at parents looking for nutritious and easy-to-digest snacks for babies after they’ve started eating solid foods. Pumpkin is a great ingredient as it’s rich in fiber, which aids digestion, and it’s naturally sweet, which appeals to babies’ tastes.
Ingredients
Pumpkin (about 200g)
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of mashed banana
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of baking powder
A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
A little bit of water or breast milk/formula (if the batter is too thick)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin: Steam or bake the pumpkin until soft, then mash it well. Let it cool before using.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the mashed pumpkin, banana, eggs
- Add Dry Ingredients: Combine the whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, and a pinch of cinnamon in a separate bowl. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a little water, breast milk, or formula to reach the desired consistency.
- Spread butter on the mold.
- Pour the dough into a mold to cover the bottom a little.
- Add sweet potato & banana mousse using a piping bag and cover the dough again on top of it.
- (After you’re done, bang the frame on the floor about three times to remove air.)
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Turn the air fryer at 160 degrees for 7 minutes. Just in case, I recommend you to divide it into 4 minutes and 3 minutes instead of 7 minutes at once.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool completely before serving them to your baby.
Tips
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for later use.
- Feel free to modify the recipe based on your baby’s preferences or dietary needs. You can add other fruits or switch the whole wheat flour for gluten-free alternatives if needed.
Benefits
Pumpkin muffins are a great way to provide essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. They are also soft and moist, making them easy for babies to eat without any choking risk.
