These aren't just any strawberry muffins... The beauty is finding a surprise strawberry heart in the centre of each one. These baby muffins are filled with love!

Ideal for baby led weaning, strawberries are a nutritious but tasty snack made even better in muffin form! Try serving the strawberry muffins for baby with a dollop of yogurt.

For a sweeter treat for toddlers, you can slightly adjust the standard baby muffin recipe using lighter-weight white flour and replacing the oats with more flour.
