Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins for Baby

I wanted Rivers to be able to eat yummy baked treats without the sugar.  These muffins are sweetened with molasses, bananas, and blueberries.  Also, the molasses and baby cereal make this an iron-rich treat.  I prefer making mini muffins because they are perfect for little hands.  We eat this snack together!

2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons arrowroot flour (or 1 egg after baby turns one)
1/2 cup baby rice cereal
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup blueberries


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease or line muffin tins.  Mash the bananas.  Add applesauce , molasses, vanilla, arrowroot flour or egg, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  Mix in dry ingredients, coconut, and blueberries.  Bake mini muffins for 14 minutes and large muffins for 20-25 minutes.  Makes 12 large muffins or 36 mini muffins.
