Safety Notes
  • Ensure muffins are completely cooled before serving
  • Check that add-ins like berries are age-appropriate size
  • Always supervise during eating
  • Make sure muffins are moist enough not to be too crumbly
  • Cut in half if muffins seem too large for child's mouth
Chef's Tips
  • Don't overmix batter - this makes muffins tough and dense
  • Fill cups only 2/3 full to prevent overflow during baking
  • Test one muffin for doneness before removing whole batch
  • Cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess
  • Freeze individual muffins for quick future snacks
