Muffins with infant cereal

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
Anyone actually made them, and LO enjoy them? DD is forcing me to find more foods for her to try. She's not terribly interested in cereal (or anything) on a spoon, she seems to be wanting a bit more texture, this week at least. Actually she won't take more than 5-6 bites of any one thing at all these days. Each meal is a virtual buffet.  Anyway, I've made pancakes with cereal and banana, and she liked them for a while. So wondering about trying muffins for a change. Anyone used a recipe that worked out? Did you add any fruit or vegetables?

    I made banana muffins but didn't use baby cereal.  I just made them according to any recipe.  Instead of sugar I added an extra banana and applesauce.  She loves them!

    Not judging, just curious...is there a reason you're making stuff with the cereal and not just making it the regular way?

    Just trying to keep her iron intake up. She loves eggs right now (scrambled yolks, and I just found a recipe for a souffle with spinach that I'm going to make), and she will eat some chicken, but she doesn't get much other meat or high-iron foods.

    I didn't take your question as judgment, but thanks for the preface :)

    Ok good :)  Some people see any question as something they need to defend and I was just wondering :)  Does your LO still take a decent amount of formula?  If she does you don't have to worry too much about the iron and hopefully she'll eat more iron rich foods as she gets older I would think.  Not that any of that answers your actual question :-p

    DD gets no/very little formula, only BM. Ocassionally some formula in her cereal.....which she won't eat anymore. Did my reading today, I know there is some iron in BM and is readily absorbed by her. Learned about giving her a vitamin-C rich food at the same time as her foods with iron.  Just trying to get creative with foods and methods to get the good stuff into her!

    I made these muffins for Lucy - much for the same reasons as you are! As she eats more solids now, I'm working hard to try to find healthy snacks and variations:) There are lots of good recipes on the www.heinzforbaby.com.au website.
