Looking for a savoury and healthy baby led weaning meal idea that you can batch cook and prepare in advance? Then try these broccoli and courgette (zucchini) savoury muffins for babies which are not only packed full with healthy yummy greens but also super quick and easy to make.
As well as offering them to baby during your baby led weaning journey, they also make a good snack or part of a balanced evening meal for your toddler as well. I like to offer my toddler two muffins alongside some sweet potato fries or mash and a side of peas or sweet corn, practically ticking off their five a day fix in one meal.

The muffins are deliciously moist thanks to the yummy courgette and taste divine thanks to the sharp cheddar and added spices (which of course you can omit if you think the taste will be too strong for baby)
If you don’t have an egg handy, you can use an egg substitute which is 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed into 3 tablespoons of warm water. The consistency is the same as one egg and works just as well.

Hello!
Thank you for this recipe - I really love your website
Please could you clarify whether or not the broccoli needs to be cooked beforehand before adding them to the muffins? Or are we just chopping raw broccoli?
Thank you 😊

Hi Nabeela,
Thanks for the kind comment.
I add raw broccoli :) It cooks as the muffins cooks
