Meal Prep Breakfast with Us: PB&J Breakfast Muffins 🥜🍓

Perfect for BLW (6 months+), Toddlers, and Beyond!

Breakfast time can be a challenge, especially when you’re trying to please both little ones and grown-ups. That's why we're excited to share this recipe for PB&J Breakfast Muffins, made using Riley's Kitchen Chia Oat Pancake Mix. These muffins are nutritious, delicious, and easy to make, making them perfect for baby-led weaning (BLW), toddlers, and the whole family! You can make them easily in the morning in under 20 minutes, or meal prep and save for later! They store well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Riley's Kitchen Chia Oat Pancake Mix
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional and omit for under 12 months)
  • Nut butter (peanut butter or almond work well!)
  • Favourite berry jam (chia seed raspberry jam recipe below or use store-bought)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: to 375°F and grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together Riley's Kitchen Chia Oat Pancake Mix, vanilla, milk, and optional maple syrup.
  3. Divide the batter: among the prepared muffin pan, using 1 tablespoon of batter in each muffin cup.
  4. Add the PB&J: Add a small dollop of nut butter and chia seed raspberry jam (see recipe below) to each muffin and use a toothpick to swirl it in.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Tips: *Large chunks of nut butter is a choking hazard for babies, so if using ensure it is thin and evenly distributed. 

*If you wish to make only 12 mini muffins, just half the recipe! 

*This technique would also work well with our Banana Oat Mini Muffin Mix! Just mix up the muffin batter as instructed on the package, and add in peanut butter and jam in before baking.
