Some days, feeding my baby feels harder than anything else.
He’s hungry… but picky.
He wants snacks… but throws half of them.
And I just need something I can grab without thinking.
That’s why I started making these.
They’re soft, healthy, and actually get eaten (which says a lot).
And the best part?
They take like 20 minutes start to finish.
🍌 Why I Make These Every Week
- No added sugar
- Soft texture (perfect for babies)
- Easy to hold → less mess
- Freezer-friendly
- Actually filling
These are one of the few things I always keep on hand.
🥣 Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Optional: blueberries or chocolate chips
👩🍳 How to Make Them (Super Simple)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Mash bananas in a bowl
- Add egg, milk, and cinnamon → mix
- Stir in oats and baking powder
- Let batter sit 5 minutes (softens oats)
- Pour into muffin tray
- Bake 15–18 minutes
That’s it.
💡 Mom Tip (This Changed Everything)
I make a double batch and freeze them.
When I need one:
- 20–30 seconds in the microwave
- Done
No thinking, no stress.

💬 Real Mom Note
Some days he eats 3 of these.
Some days he throws them on the floor.
But at least I know I have something ready that’s healthy and easy.
And right now… that’s enough.
