Our favourite thing about these rainbow muffins is the variety of delicious and colourful vegetables packed in. From 10 months, they are also ideal for baby led weaning as muffins have a soft texture that’s fun to grab and hold.

Serve warm or cold, these savoury muffins for babies can be gently re-heated in a warm oven.

If you’re making these vegetable muffins for toddlers, they are delicious on their own as a snack or with some salad and dip for a light lunch.
