Fluffy Raspberry Banana Muffins- A yummy, wholesome treat for 12 months & Up
I love making these muffins for my family because they are not only delicious but also packed with clean, nutritious, wholesome ingredients. They come out so soft, moist, fluffy and incredibly delicious. The combination of the bananas and raspberries are the perfect combo of sweetness and tartness, while the whole milk yogurt gives them a fluffy, airy texture, while adding healthy fats and protein. Made with no refined sugars just nourishing, simple ingredients that the whole family will love. My little ones especially enjoy these muffins as a snack, or you can serve it as a light breakfast. They make great lunchbox additions, after school snacks or travel snacks.
