Vegan Apple Bran Muffins

Vegan Apple Bran Muffins. Healthy Bran Muffins

Oliver has always loved his Banana Oat Pancakes with his cereal every morning but two weeks ago he suddenly started refusing to eat them. I’m used to thinking on my feet (I was an elementary school teacher for almost 8 years) but this time I didn’t have to because another breakfast idea was staring at me in the face, literally!

Daniel’s All Bran Flakes box had a recipe for bran muffins on it so I did what I do best and adapted the recipe to make them vegan and used apple pieces as the fruit instead of blueberries. I was very happy with the way they turned out and Oliver has been enjoying them with vegan butter and a little jam in the mornings with his cereal. Whew!

Vegan Apple Bran Muffins. Healthy vegan muffins for toddler breakfast.

I’m all about trying to find healthy snacks for my 15 month old so these healthy muffins are a perfect on-the-go snack or an easy breakfast idea for toddlers or the whole family. They are even more delicious with vegan butter and some jam but can be eaten plain as well.

A big thank you to White Leaf Provisions for gifting us with some yummy organic, non-GMO baby food. I used their delicious apple + cinnamon sauce in the muffins and they turned out delicious. The sauce by itself tasted like apple pie in a cup it was so good! Find out more about their products here.

I’ve said this previously but before dear old Kendra (me) had kids (just one baby) I made some very silly statements, was very judge about how other people parented, and had some very unrealistic expectations about what I was and wasn’t going to do.

One of the things I said was that I was never going to give my child baby pouches, I was going to hand make everything all the time.forever. Well seriously, this is very silly and of course home made is so much better as you know exactly what goes into your food with no preservatives, but there are times where these baby pouches come in so handy!
