October 17, 2016 by Jamie Levinthal Leave a Comment

blog-graphic-muffin-1 560x315‘Tis the season for root vegetables, apples, squash and gourds. Here’s a recipe that will please all members of your family, even hungry babies.  FAMILY FOOD TIP: Use mini muffin tins for a kid-friendly breakfast or perfect lunchbox-sized snack. Also, try multi-colored carrots if you can find them in your local store for extra color and fun!

Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart (reduced sugar and salt to make appropriate for babies!)

Baby Book Bug loved these muffins when he was recruited to be an Early Moments recipe tester. We’d love to hear whether this recipe gets the thumbs up from your little ones.
