Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.
- 2
Mix the flour and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- 3
In a jug, whisk the eggs, mashed banana, milk and olive oil until smooth. Stir in the grated carrot and apple.
- 4
Pour the wet mix into the flour and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix or the muffins turn tough.
- 5
Divide between the cases, scatter a few oats on each and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until risen and a skewer comes out clean.
24 min - 6
Cool on a rack. For babies from 6 months, serve a quarter of a muffin at a time, as dry crumbs can be tricky. They keep 2 days in a tin or 2 months in the freezer.
