My baby Judah is 6 months old and we have slowly started dabbling in solid food. So far he seems to enjoy food off my plate more than the watery stuff in jars so I have been looking for ways to use the baby food I have sitting around. I dug around online, found some muffin recipes and then modified them to get what I wanted. This morning I made Oatmeal Muffins with Sweet Potatoes and Squash and they were yummy. I was going to use part whole wheat flour but those pesky pantry moths had turned my bag of King Arthur into a baby moth nursery so I had to use all white flour. I think you could use just about any single fruit/veggie or combonation and these would be equally good. Tomorrow we're going to try them with carrots. I don't have picky kids and they're used to me putting veggies in muffins but I bet even picky kids would like these.
