👶 Serving by Age

• 10–12 months: Serve in soft strips or break into small pieces for easy self-feeding
• Toddlers: Serve whole or halved as a snack or breakfast
• Older kids: Pair with yogurt, nut butter or cup of milk

💡 Tips for Success

• Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness
• Don’t overmix, this keeps them soft and fluffy
• Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to thicken before adding blueberries
• If using fresh blueberries, I recommend cutting them in halves or smooshing before adding to batter
• Scoop evenly so they bake at the same rate
• Once scooped on the baking tray, do not flatten the muffin tops, leave as is.

🔄 Substitutions & Variations

• Butter: Swap with coconut oil if preferred
• Flour: Use all oat flour if needed, but best crumb is when you mix both oat flour and all-purpose flour
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen both work
• Add-ins: Try chopped strawberries or raspberries for variety 🍓
