3 Ingredient Vegan Baby Banana Muffins (No dairy, added sugar, no salt)

3 ingredient vegan baby banana mini muffins have no dairy, no salt, no added sugar. All you need is bananas, prunes, and self-rising flour for this easy vegan baby led weaning breakfast recipe!

This baby muffin recipe makes for a quick snack and easy breakfast. 

I always make a double batch because I love to snack on them as well and feel bad stealing them all from Isaiah. Just because they are great for baby-led weaning doesn’t mean older kids won’t like them! I mean really the whole family will love them. 

They are a great healthy snack to send in lunch boxes and the perfect size for those little hands. Since they are vegan and nut free you don’t have to worry about those around with food allergies.

One of my favorite parts about this blender muffin recipe is that clean up is a BREEZE! 

When Can Babies Eat These? 

Baby-led weaning (BLW) typically starts around 6 months of age. These include finger foods like banana, soft roasted veggies, and melon slices.

For those who are 6-9 months, you can leave the muffins whole so they are easier to grasp. For older babies, break them into small pieces and this will also help them to practice their fine motor skills. 

Ingredients Needed:

Bananas – The riper the better! It’s okay if they have a lot of brown spots. 

Pureed Prunes –  I love prunes because they help keep him regular, but you can add any of your baby’s favorite pureed fruit such as apple or pear. 

I have also tested this recipe using coconut milk and it worked as well!

Self Rising Flour – If you don’t have self rising flour, you can simply use regular flour (all purpose) and add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder.

How to Make Healthy Baby Banana Muffins

Start by adding 2 medium-large bananas to a mixing bowl and mix on high. You could also add to a blender or food processor if you have one. 
This makes 1 cup of mashed bananas.

To your bowl add 1 cup of self-rising flour. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can simply use all-purpose flour and add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder.

Once your dough has formed, add in 4oz pureed prunes. 

Once your batter is combined, evenly distribute it into a greased mini muffin pan. I use olive oil or coconut oil cooking spray.

Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes and allow them to cool before serving.

These healthy banana muffins are SO fluffy, moist, and flavorful despite having no added sugars or salt! 

How to Store 

Keep leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up 5 days or place in a freezer bag freeze for 2 months. 

Tips for Making 

  • While you can make these into full size muffins, young children do best when they are little muffins. The baking time will increase when making regular size. 
  • If you are making these for older kids or if you want them for yourself, feel free to add some chocolate chips. We just don’t recommend that for babies. 

Are muffins safe for babies?

These muffins are perfectly safe for babies because they don’t contain any honey or salt. Babies under 1 year old cannot have honey and you want to limit their salt intake.

The only other reason I would not serve a baby a muffin is if the texture were hard for them to chew or swallow.

Why can’t babies have salt?

According to Healthline, babies shouldn’t consume too much salt because their developing kidneys aren’t yet able to process large amounts of it.
