DESCRIPTION
These hearty and delicious baked oatmeal muffins are suitable for all the family including baby. A great breakfast option or snack on the go. You can play around with the recipe and add in different fruit or some ground nuts or seeds. For a baby that has just started on solids, you may want to remove the raisins until they become more experienced with food as they could be a choking hazard.
INGREDIENTS
2.5 cups porridge oats*
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
3 apples, peeled and coarsely grated
1 egg
2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 190C fan.
2. Grease a muffin tin with a little oil or butter or alternatively use silicone or paper muffin cases.**
3. In a large bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, raisins and grated apple.
4. In a jug whisk the milk, egg and vanilla essence.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
6. Spoon evenly into the muffin tin, sprinkle a little extra oats on the top of each and place in the oven to bake for 25-28 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
7. Remove the muffins from the tin while still warm and place on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
NOTES:
* To make these gluten free , use gluten free porridge oats
** As this recipe has no butter in it, the muffins may stick to the paper liners. I found using no paper liners and greasing the muffin tin a much better option and just remove the muffins from the tray while still hot.
Silicone muffin cases are also a good option to use here.
Suitable for freezing. Just defrost over night in the fridge.
