High Fiber Prune Flaxseed Muffins for Potty Training.

We have started into our potty training journey, and oof, what a journey it’s been. I’ve been preoccupied by it, hence the lull in my posts, but more to come soon, including favorite products and our experience. A fear I had after researching and talking to other moms who have been through it is a potential battle with constipation. I have made it a mission to load Poppy full of fiber and water to prevent this as much as is in my control (one of the few things I can control throughout the potty training process as I have learned).

Hence, Prune Flaxseed Muffins. She eats two of these mini muffins a day for her midmorning snack. Additionally, we’ve been offering lots of other high fiber foods such as beans (in quesadillas), sweet potatoes, whole wheat breads and pastas, dried fruit purees with greek yogurt (apricot and prune purees) and fresh fruits (pears, peaches and berries).

Equipment

• 1 Mini muffin tin
• Nonstick Cooking Spray (Canola oil is my favorite for baking)
• Oven
• Large Bowl, Small Bowl (microwave safe)
• Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup Almond Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseed
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons 100% Pure Maple Syrup
• 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup Oat Milk
• 3/4 cup Chopped prunes

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Spray the mini muffin tin with nonstick spray (Liners can be used but I try to avoid them for environmental consciousness).
• Chop the prunes to small pieces (sized to incorporate well throughout the batter as well as minimize any choking hazards).
• In the large bowl, mix the dry ingredients – flours, flaxseed, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
• In the small bowl, microwave butter to melt. Add the milk, maple syrup, butter and eggs and whisk to combine.
• Add wet ingredients to large bowl with the dry ingredients and hand mix all ingredients together.
• Add the chopped prunes into the batter and combine.
• Fill the muffin tin, adding batter until each muffin cup is approximately 3/4 of the way full (about 1 heaping Tablespoon).
• Bake for 15- 18 minutes, until the muffins begin to be firm in consistency.
• Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan and placing on drying rack.
• Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. When removing from freezer, place at room temperature in the refrigerator. Eat within 48 hrs of thawing.

Notes

*Oat milk can be substituted with your milk of choice (Whole milk or another non-dairy milk). Oat milk is a great source of fiber.
