Toddler lentil banana muffins

I added blueberries to one batch, and chocolate chips to another and both were so good. The chocolate chip ones were a touch drier

I’ve been wanting to try these since I saw the first tiktok! These are super easy to make and delicious! You’d never know there are lentils in them!

My husband and 9mo both love these I add more vanilla and cinnamon and sometimes chocolate chips. It’s a good and healthier alternative to banana bread

So good and toddler approved! Also I am pretty sure I used double the lentils and it worked out just fine haha. Also some chocolate chips of course

Very moreish ! Relatively easy to make and uses healthier ingredients! Made into a loaf but took about longer to cook Excited to try without the oil next time 😊

Added some chocolate chips. Made 9 full size muffins bake 15min. They were perfect, great to have an option for my egg allergic, meat disliking 3yr old!

Made muffins as written adding chocolate chips and they were great!

Make sure you add liquid in with the lentils before you blend. It was delicious and no one knew it was healthy

Did you know if you don't have eggs or flax seeds that you can make a chia seed egg? I found out today because ✨️we use what we have✨️.

Been throwing the batter into a loaf dish (easier to clean compared to a muffin tin) and it comes out just as good!

i used king Arthur "1:1* GF flour.

I have a picky toddler and a picky husband. They’ve both eaten about half of the bath that I made early this afternoon. These will definitely be a regular in our household!

This is my second time making these... I tripled the recipe instead of oil I used plain Greek yogurt and just used a regular egg and added walnuts and some chocolate chips! My husband and I absolutely love them and They freeze well also! You would honestly never know lentils are in there!

Added chocolate chips on top

So I chose to go without flax seed and I used a 1/4 less flour. Still absolutely delicious, will be making again.

I made these with a few adjustments because I was ✨️using what I have✨️ and my picky toddler loves them!

This is a kiddo HIT!! They split a big muffin for breakfast, I can pack some in their boxes for daycare, and mama can also grab a few without feeling badly about the contents … because this is a ROCKSTAR recipe! I’ve already shared it with my whole family, loads of friends, and several colleagues.

Made these as an adult with no kids looking to increase my protein in some of my favorite foods. These are so good I’m gonna have to try not to eat the whole pan tonight!!!!! Thanks for the great recipe

So good! I used Greek yogurt instead of oil (adding more protein) and I used an egg instead of flaxseed egg. But I wanted some more fiber so threw in a tsp of chia seeds. It was so good! Not too sweet! (I used gluten free flour too to make it gf)

I was hesitant but the kids LOVE them!! Obvs I added chocolate chips cuz why not 🤷‍♀️

These turned out Amazing! Will definitely make again. I double the recipes and used about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar. It made a total of 24 regular size muffins.

Super easy. Did it all in the food processor. Could use a dash more cinnamon if you’re a cinnamon lover, but otherwise it’s great.

So good! I throw all of the ingredients into the blender and it works just fine; don’t even need a bowl. Added pecans and chocolate chips too!

Would make again, but would reduce/leave out the sugar - the sweetness from the bananas is enough for me

Added choc chips- big hit with the toddler! I blended all the wet ingredients in with the lentils and then added to the dry.

My family highly approves of these! I had extra batter and used my donut tin. Came out great!

I added semi sweet chocolate chips. Delicious!

Kiddo loved them. She made them with me so knew there was lentils but she’s three so likely didn’t realize what lentils are. She ate 4 mini ones in a row and was still asking for more.

I only had one small muffin pan, so I ended up pouring most of the batter into a loaf, but it was so so good! If you like banana muffins, this is perfect! The texture is very moist, it’s not gritty or mealy. It would be super easy to add nuts, chocolate or fruit too. The ingredients are super accessible as well. We just moved and don’t have a full pantry so this was PERFECT.

I would have added another spoonful of sugar and some more banana, but they are good!

Ran out of vanilla! So I subbed a bit of maple syrup. Baked for about 27 mins but should have left them in for 30 (full size muffins). Great recipe!

I used one frozen banana and half a cup of applesauce and sprinkled some chocolate chips on top. They turned out great, will be making again!

I love that these have protein in them. The recipe is missing salt. It think it needs 1/2 teaspoon or so.

Amazing recipe with hidden protein

Used an egg cuz I was out of flax! My kids love them

What a great recipe! I love the idea of adding lentils for protein. I added a couple TBSP of cocoa powder, and a small container of cottage cheese for more protein and they turned out great!

These were great! I used green lentils because “we use what we have!” and loved them.

My dad has some difficult to eat because of the chimio. I try what i can to add protein in his diet and as he as a sweet taste, i added 2 tbsp of Maple syrop and it's delicious.

If you have cake flour on hand use it! It will offset the other dense ingredients and make the muffins a bit fluffier. Planning to try again with some dark chocolate chips stirred in

Delicious! Added 2 tbsp of maple syrup, 2 tbs apple sauce and 2 tbsp cocoa powder. Made 24 mini muffins and baked for 11 minutes at 350. Perfect !

T he lentils must not all have blended but everyone thought they were small bits of nuts - win/win!

LOL needs chocolate chips but fantastic!

Doubled the recipe and it yielded 15 full size muffins. Increased cook time to 30 mins. Loving your bean girl era!

SO good. Tastes just like normal banana bread muffins. I had 3 super ripe bananas and added maybe a tablespoon extra of brown sugar and of syrup and I am OBSESSED.

Could use one more banana and a little more sugar

Really good. Used chia egg instead of flax, and green lentil instead of red (use what you have!) and did chocolate chips in half. Great go-to breakfast or snack!

Easy. Used an egg since I was out of ground flax. Added some maple syrup, applesauce and oats. Toddler and husband approved!

Added 1/4 cup apple sauce and 2 tbsp maple syrup instead of the brown sugar to ensure sweet success!

If you don’t have over ripe bananas, up the sugar a bit but over all these are great. My three year old smashed two as soon as they cooled from the oven.

The whole process went smoothly, shocked I can cook with lentils like this. One downfall is that nobody in my house liked them. Will be adding honey and/or applesauce to give them a sweeter taste and not so bland.

Didn't blend the lentils and it still turned out okay, almost like oats. In the future I might add more cinnamon and maybe honey. One recipe made 12 regular size muffins although they don't rise that much. Had to add about 10 minutes on the baking time. Tasty!

I used what I had and soaked green lentils for 2 days and blasted them in the magic bullet. My gigantic bag of expired NO NAME flour that I got back during the initial pandemic shortages still smelled edible. My bananas were not overripe yet unfortunately so I sprinkled in some milk chocolate chips to offset the green banana taste. In a bougie flex I subbed real eggs for the flax. I don’t have mini muffin trays so I went regular size and added 10 mins to the cooking time. A triple batch made 18 muffins but I didn’t triple the baking soda because I forgot. I can’t believe this turned out so delicious, I’m going to freeze some to save for breakfast when I’m out of milk for cereal. Alex is a genius.

A fan! Toddler liked em, I might wait till my bananas were over ripe next time or add some maple syrup, not very sweet.

Loved these! I halved the flour and used gluten free and added 1/4 cup cocoa and they were a hit with my boyfriend he said wow these need glaze they are like chocolate donuts. I said they are lentil muffins….Then he’s analyzing them “how do they taste good?”

These were super yum and easy. I ended up using green lentils because that’s what I had. Added a bit of brown sugar because I was worried the green lentils might be too strong tasting and also had to use walnut liquor because didn’t have any vanilla. Super yum.
