These BLW Broccoli and Goat Cheese Muffins are my favourite recipe EVER to start baby led weaning. Packed full of amazing ingredients from broccoli (my favourite veggie) to the new Gouda Goat Cheese which is so delicious. It is also really low in salt which makes it the perfect cheese for smaller babies.<\/p>\n

    How to Make These Mini Muffins for Baby Led Weaning<\/h2>\n

    This recipe is so simple it\u2019s likely to become your go-to baby led weaning lunch recipe. Like most baked recipes, in a large bowl, you\u2019ll want to mix your dry ingredients and spices together first. For the wet ingredients, rather than dirtying another bowl, I like to create a well in the centre of my dry ingredients (like an inverted volcano). Then I add all of my wet ingredients to the centre and mix gently. Once my wet ingredients are combined well I mix the dry with the wet and boom! Simply fold in the cheese and broccoli bits and you\u2019ve got mini muffin batter!<\/p>\n

    Key Ingredients for Broccoli & Cheese Mini Muffins for Baby Led Weaning:<\/h2>\n

    Broccoli: <\/strong>You\u2019ll want to pre-cook and cool the broccoli and chop it into tiny bits that mix in easily.<\/p>\n

    Gouda Goat Cheese:<\/strong> This is a new ingredient I found @dunnesstores and it adds an amazing flavour to these baby led weaning muffins and it\u2019s lower in salt than many other cheese options.<\/p>\n

    Garlic Granules (or powder): <\/strong>It\u2019s all about the flavour with this spice. It is important to continually introduce different spices to our babies and toddlers, this helps prevent picky eating later.<\/p>\n
