Sugar Free baby muffins are soft and moist muffins. You will be surprised how sweet and crumbly the muffins are without sugar. Do not underestimate the taste of these muffins. Try yourself and get amazed. This is one of the very versatile muffin recipe which can be altered to one's taste buds. Being a parent in this generation seems to be more daunting than ever. With all the GMO foods etc.. Since I became a parent I too started to hunt for baby recipes that are healthy and without sugar. I have tried many recipes online and have not been satisfied. After trying and testing for about a year now got this perfect versatile recipe for babies.

We must be very careful what we give our kids. When K started solid at around 6 months she refused to take in any pureed foods. This was unusual as a Indian parent. Then after doing many research I came across Baby-Led Weaning and thus our journey started in this new food world. She would eat soft solids and which was good but I was worried she wouldn’t get more nutrition. Finally came across muffins that are for babies and they are working like a charm till this day.

You can see the alternative ingredients in the tips. These muffins are soft and moist since it has oil. There is no processed sugar in it and is suitable for babies under 1 because the recipe doesn't have sugar, honey or salt. You can make these entirely with oats too.

Hope you guys will give it a try. Hope this recipe will help some parent out there. Happy Baking:)
