How many of you made homemade baby food? I pretty much fed Aditya (my son) all homemade baby food, and I think it was so easy to prepare. I had a small stove top pressure cooker and that made making baby food a breeze. These stove top pressure cookers are quite common in India and every household in India has a couple of them for sure. Aditya did not like the sound of the pressure cooker and the whistling sound used to scare him. There was a version I had, which did not make the sharp whistling sound, but it was too big, so I preferred using the small one for baby food. I used to make smaller batches of food so I could make it fresh.  If you ever made baby food at home, I am sure apple sauce was one of the things you made. So simple and so much better than the jarred version.

 Lately I have found myself making a chunkier version of the apple sauce for our morning breakfast needs. I enjoy it warm with a teaspoon of chia seeds and some nuts added to it or with Oatmeal. I also like making these apple sauce muffins which make a great on the run breakfast. It is also something I put in my son’s morning snack box.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled/old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins, (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Topping (optional)

  • 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/8 cup chopped walnuts/ pecans (optional)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners and set aside.
  2. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix all the topping ingredients and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the oats and sugar with the liquids: applesauce, milk, egg, vanilla, and butter.
  4. In another large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together: the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt and cranberries or raisins if using. Make a well in the center and pour in the liquid mixture. Stir with a spatula, until just combined. Do not overmix, it can make the muffins dense.
