    Butternut Banana Mini Muffins

    By Alisa Fleming on September 21, 2014 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    Who says easy treats can’t be nutritional, too? Don’t forgo breakfast due to hectic mornings or compromise health with pre-packaged afternoon snacks. These butternut banana mini muffins are packed with fruits, veggies, and whole grains for natural nourishment on-the-go.

    Butternut Banana Mini Muffins - Sneaky Kid-Friendly Nutrition for Lunch Boxes or Breakfast On-The-Go (easy dairy-free and nut-free recipe)

    This recipe was shared with us by Wilton; they make those cool mini muffin tins! They also offered some tips, which I’ve modified to fit dairy-free diets, for ensuring that both you and your kids sneak in nutrition whenever possible:

    • Pump Up with Probiotics. Keep guts healthy by using dairy-free yogurt as a fruit dip or pick an unsweetened variety to sub for mayo or dairy-free sour cream in dressings or dips. You can even substitute it for eggs or some of the oil in baking recipes to reduce calories and fat.
    • Make it fun. Let kids get creative by using cookie cutters on whole grain bread, tortillas, or nutritional bars (mini cutters are great for bite-sized!) to build their own snacks. Or, have them make funny faces using natural peanut butter, raisins and fruit, like sliced bananas, apples or pears.
    • Sneak in veggies. Bakers are using veggies more than ever before in new, inspirational baked treats. Many vegetables have a natural sweetness, so your family won’t taste the difference during snack time. Try these butternut banana mini muffins or carrot and zucchini cookies.

    Special Diet Notes & Options: Butternut Banana Mini Muffins

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, and vegetarian.

    For egg-free, vegan, and plant-based butternut banana mini muffins, you can use 1 egg replacer (such as Ener-G or Bob’s Red Mill) or flax egg. Recipes like these banana mini muffins one are fairly forgiving without eggs, since they get extra binding from the pureed fruit and vegetables.
