How To Serve By Age

For 6 months:
At this age, babies are just starting solids and learning how to self-feed. Cut the muffin into long, finger-sized strips so it’s easy for your baby to hold and gum. You can also gently mash the muffin with a fork and offer small spoonfuls if your baby isn’t ready to grasp pieces yet. Serve with soft sides like mashed avocado or steamed sweet potato for extra nutrition and variety.

For 9 months:
By now, babies are developing a better pincer grasp and can start handling smaller, bite-sized pieces. Cut the muffin into small chunks about the size of a pea or your baby’s fingertip. Encourage self-feeding while continuing to supervise closely. You can also pair the muffin with fruit slices, yogurt, or small pieces of soft-cooked veggies for a balanced meal.

For 12 months and up:
Toddlers at this stage can typically eat a whole mini muffin or half of a regular-sized one. Offer it as part of breakfast, lunch, or a snack. You can serve it alongside fresh fruit, cheese cubes, or scrambled eggs for a well-rounded plate. These muffins also make great on-the-go snacks for park days or lunchboxes.

Variations

Switch it up: Use cooked chicken, tuna, or turkey instead of salmon.
Add more veggies: Try broccoli, spinach, or grated carrots.
Boost flavor: Add herbs like dill, basil, or parsley.
