Banana Yoghurt Muffins Sensory Kid Friendly!

Bake these deliciously fluffy banana yoghurt muffins in just 25min from start to tummy. Add this quick healthy snack to school and work lunches or a treat over morning tea! Perfect healthy snack for your sensory defensive kids.

Sensory Friendly Banana Yoghurt Muffins

I was requested to consider creating recipes that were sensory friendly. So many kids with texture challenges do not enjoy healthy baking or snacks as they are comprised of nuts or dried fruits or other texture heavy substances. The beauty of these muffins is they are smooth to taste with no lumps or crunchy bits. Omit the oats from the top if you want to make sure they are a hit. The addition of yoghurt gives the muffins a protein hit upping the nourishing benefits of these muffins. I can’t wait to hear how you kids go trying banana yoghurt muffins in your homes.

Heritage Baking

This recipe is an old favourite of mine from growing up with a twist. So thanks Mum for the recipe inspiration! So much of my love of cooking and baking as well as creating a warm home comes from my Mum. From a young age we helped her make wonderful creations in the kitchen. My Mum loves trying new recipes and she has a wonderful knack for making baking and food look absolutely delightful! I think her food tasted better just because it looks so good on the table.

Healthy Cooking with your family:

For all you parents out there. Start your kids in the kitchen young. They will get used to a variety of food and are more likely to try food they have helped prepare.

Helping you cook, although can be frustrating at times, teaches your children valuable skills for the future.

I invite you to challenge your kids to cook for the family. I cooked my first full meal at age 9. It was a simple Chicken Hurry Recipe and it gave me the confidence to grow my cooking skills! To this day I am so glad my Mother encouraged me to cook! She has taught me so much and I have always felt so at home in the kitchen.

Spending time with you in the kitchen will help your kids learn about healthy, wholesome food. They will get excited about what they are putting in their bodies!

Speedy Banana yoghurt Muffins

I am always looking for simple healthy snacks to bake at home. The key is super quick. I also wanted to create a delicious recipe without the sugar load. Why bother eating a healthy muffin if it tastes like cardboard. These speedy banana yoghurt muffins are ready to pop in the oven in just 10 minutes and ready to eat in 25!

Healthy and full of Flavour Banana Yoghurt Muffins

Another essential for me is flavour and texture. A lot of the healthy banana muffin recipes I’ve tried use honey or rice malt syrup for sweetening. I found that this made the muffins slightly more dense. I prefer my muffins fluffy and moist.

Adding spices to your baking will amp up the flavour immensely. Experiment with different flavour combinations to figure out what you can add to your recipes!.

The secret to flavour and texture in these healthy banana muffins is the cinnamon and nutmeg, combined with the yoghurt stevia sweetener. I found using yoghurt with a hint of stevia added just enough sweetness and kept the muffins moist and fluffy. The spices added a depth to the flavour beyond the banana taste. I like to add in oats to create some interest in the muffins but this is optional.
