Delicious Banana & Egg Mini Muffins made with just three natural ingredients. Perfect for baby weaning and toddler finger food too!
I get asked quite a bit on Instagram in particular about ideas for baby led weaning!
So today I'm going to share this super easy recipe for Banana & Egg Mini Muffins.
Finding finger foods for weaning babies that are soft can be tricky but these muffins are perfect for babies with little or no teeth as they are really soft but also easy for them to hold.
The muffins are made from just three natural and healthy ingredients:
- eggs
- banana
- strawberries
I used fresh strawberries, but out of season it is absolutely fine to use frozen ones, or even swap for another type of berry like raspberries or blueberries.
Not only perfect for baby weaning, these muffins make a brilliant finger food for toddlers too, or even a little snack for older kids.
With no added sugar and sweetened only by the fruit, these mini muffins are really nutritious and a great addition to your family's diet.

It didn’t come out like a muffin. Was like a wet egg soufflé maybe I did something wrong or maybe needs something to help it harden up? I don’t know. But they smell fabulous

Can I make these muffins into a bread? Do I just do the same thing except spread over a bread tin?
Vicky says
We cant see why this wouldn't work, maybe just bake for a bit longer than the muffins. Happy cooking.

My 9 month old loved these! She was so excited when I offered her more after the first one. I'm thinking next time I might try adding a little cinnamon and looking forward to trying some different berries.
Shannon says
I've been using this recipe forever now, but only now have taken the time to rate it! My toddler (who has been enjoying these since he was a baby) loves these naturally sweet egg cups and so do a I! Tasty, nutritious, and easy to make! Thanks for the recipe!

My LG loved them for breakfast. Very easy to whip up. Needed more baking time.. around 20 mins. Used fan oven.
Lucy says
Loved all round!
Hubby doesn't eat anything healthy including fruit.. but he ate theese, let alone my son!
I used frozen mixed berries, such a bit I've had to make more straight away as the first batch was demolished!
Sonia says
I made these tonight for breakfast tomorrow. They are fab! Thank you

Hi, I've tried this recipe a few times but it comes out more like an omelette, my baby loves them but it's there a way to thicken them a little?
Sarah says
Made these last night but used apple instead of strawberries because I didn't have any and gave them to my son who is nearly 8 months the next day cold and he absolutely loved them and ate the whole lot. I did try them hot and then cold the next day and I personally think they are nicer cold. Thank you for the recipe and I will definitely be making these again and also some of your other ones. 🙂
Elle Dee says
Tried the recipe with cooked apples. Awesome! Thank you for the recipe.
Lily says
Is it safe to eat these cold?
Ciara Attwell says
Yes!
Inns says
So yummy! I used mashed blueberries instead of strawberries and came out amazing! Such a quick and easy recipe. My baby loved it as well?
Aisling says
So good to find a simple recipe for baby led weaning. My little girl really liked these so will definitely make again.
Eadaoin O' M. says
My 18 month old girl really liked these. They're so soft so are easy for her to eat as she doesn't have many teeth yet.
ali says
my baby would not eat this. i guess they all have their own tastes.
Lisa Hoashi says
I can vouch for this recipe! At first I wasn't sure a "sweet omelette" would be appetizing, but my 7mo loves these better than any other BLW muffin I've found. She's a little allergic to strawberries so I make with raspberries. It is important to cook them through, otherwise they fall apart and are harder for baby to eat. Thank you for the recipe.
Maddie Drummond says
Hi, I really want to make this recipe for my 14months baby...but I don't have the strawberries ATM...can I change to different fruits....I have some apples and pears...if yes, how to use them? Thank you very much...
Ciara Attwell says
Hi, yes you can use other fruits like pear or apple but I would suggest maybe cooking them slightly to make them easier to eat!
Claudia says
Is it supposed to taste like an omelette? I made them with blueberries and it does taste good but feels like a sweet banana omelette
Ciara Attwell says
Hi Claudia, yes it is like a sweet omelette. Perfect for babies!
Amanda says
Hi. Is it possible to freeze the muffins at all?
Ciara Attwell says
They can be frozen but they are best eaten fresh or kept in the fridge.
