DHA-Enhanced Baby Muffins

• 1/3 cup of softened butter
• 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup of granulated cane sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg
• 2 DHA-enhanced stage 2 containers of baby food (fruit is sweeter, but veggies work too!)
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 cup DHA-enhanced rice cereal (I prefer Gerbers DHA Rice Cereal)
• 1/4 cup of multi-grain baby cereal

Combine the brown sugar, cane sugar, cinnamon, & baking soda in a mixing bowl. Add the butter & mix until all big lumps are gone. Add baby food and egg. Mix until smooth. Slowly mix in flour, & then slowly mix in cereals. Preheat oven to 375 degre es. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into a 12-hole cupcake pan (lightly oiled – I used canola oil, but olive oil or PAM would work too). Sprinkle a little cinnamon & sugar on top of each muffin. Bake for 15-17 minute. Let sit for 10min & carefully remove from cupcake pan. Optional ingredient: mix in dried fruit or trail mix to add variety. Let your little ones enjoy warm or refrigerated. Perfect for ages 9m-36m.
