    What have you been making with your kids lately? We noticed that we are very light on breakfasts on Kidgredients. Sure, we eat breakfast, but it's never blog worthy. And weekends, well they are fraught with me wanting sleep and the kids wanting us up and raring to go. So I was very excited when the theme for this months Kids' Kitchen was Breakfast! Here are the pear and banana breakfast oat and almond muffins Miss 5 and I whipped up.

    pear and banana breakfast oat and almond muffins

    They are ticking so many breakfast buttons: no added sugar, filled with oats and almonds and super yummy. They freeze well (think: kids go and get your own breakfast!) and are so easy the kids can make them! This is a great recipe for young kids and a forgiving one too. The other great aspect: no eggs...so lick that spoon!

    Miss 5 and I did the measuring, mixing and filling of the cupcake trays together. Having a recipe that uses easy cup measures means she can do most of it herself. She loves mixing with her spotted spoon!

    It did get a bit messy putting them in the silicone cupcake trays, but that is part of the fun! As I said earlier though, this recipe is very forgiving so it doesn't matter if they look messy when they go into the oven.

    These muffins would be great in a lunchbox if you aren't in a nut free setting too. But I have clearly labelled them as containing NUTS when I put them in the freezer so I don't send them into school.

      Mine didn’t ever cook/rise 🙁 they’re really squishy.. I put it on 160 as I have a fan oven and you didn’t specify if the 180 was fan or not.. Was that my error, should it be 180fan? Or maybe my bananas were too big?

        I cook at 180 degrees celsius, on a fan forced oven. Most ovens are fan forced, so I don't determine between the two.

      This is a fab recipe! I put in extra ripe pear and it was perfectly sweet without the vanilla essence or any other sweetener. How long will these last in the fridge?!

        I only do 2-3 days in the fridge, I normally freeze everything straight away.

        Is there a substitute for coconut oil? Could I use corn oil? Sunflower oil?

          You could use either of those.

      These definitely need some kind of sweetner, brown sugar, maple syrup, agave? Mine came very bland in flavor even though I used week old bananas.

        Thank Anabelle, my kids love them as they are, perhaps yours are used to sweeter things? In which case sweeten as you like!

      Can this be made without the banana or is there a substitute? My daughter is banana mad and always has one every morning and I am hoping to use these as a snack for brunch so if rather she didn't eat banana again thatbsoon in the day.

        You could swap it out for apple sauce?

          Hi how much apple sauce do you recommend?

          Could I add a second pear ?

          Thanks
