Possible allergens: Wheat (gluten), egg, dairy

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 egg
1 carrot
1 apple
½ cup yoghurt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C.
Grate the carrot and apple.
Mix everything and spoon into a muffin tin.
Bake 20–25 minutes and serve once cooled.

Note for parents: No added sugar – the apple and carrot make them sweet. Freeze for up to a month.

Do not give children aged 2–4 small, hard, round foods (grapes, cherries, nuts) whole — they are a choking hazard. Introduce honey, nuts and other allergens in small amounts. If your child has special dietary needs, consult a doctor.
