If you’re mum to a gluten-sensitive little one, finding simple, tasty recipes whose ingredients don’t read as long as your monthly shopping list can be a tall order.
But with just four main ingredients, these gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free muffins are the perfect combo for busy bakers and baby tummies: easy, inexpensive and YUMMY.
The sweet potato banana bites are incredibly versatile, and work deliciously with a number of add-ins; from dark chocolate and fruit to nuts and seeds.
The recipe is also very forgiving – so your measurements don’t have to be exact.
