Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease the cups of a mini muffin tin with a few drops of olive oil.

  2. 2

    Finely grate the zucchini and carrot; gently squeeze the excess water from the zucchini with a clean cloth.

  3. 3

    Beat the eggs in a bowl; add the whole wheat flour and a pinch of baking powder and mix to a smooth batter.

  4. 4

    Add the grated vegetables, spinach, grated cheese and olive oil, and stir gently.

  5. 5

    Divide the mixture among the muffin cups, filling them about three quarters full.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden on top and cooked through in the center.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let cool; serve to your child in small, easy-to-chew pieces.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?

Egg gives these little muffins quality protein and a natural softness, while grated carrot, zucchini and spinach add color, vitamins and a gentle source of fiber. The finger-friendly size can support a 2-year-old's self-feeding and hand skills. The low-salt cheese adds a mild flavor, and the soft texture makes chewing easier.

Maiyko's note

Letting the muffins rest and cool a little after the oven makes them safer for small hands. At Maiyko we believe in softness at the table and on the skin alike; organic cotton bibs gently accompany these cheerful breakfasts.
