ABC Muffins (Apple • Banana • Carrot) 🧁🍌🥕
These ABC muffins are a fun back-to-school snack with no refined sugars—perfect for babies. Use a very ripe banana (plus the apple) to sweeten naturally. Carrots add gentle texture and cinnamon adds cozy flavor. Grate apple and carrot, mix with mashed banana and wet ingredients, fold in dries, scoop into a greased mini muffin pan, bake, and enjoy. We love them with peanut butter or jam. Freezer-friendly and great for on-the-go!
