Or 75g wheat-free plain flour (e.g, Doves Farm*, Orgran*) + two teaspoons of gluten free baking powder*.
Adapting to make recipe egg-free: Replace the 1 large egg with one teaspoon of baking powder and one small mashed ripe banana or 5 teaspoons of pureed fruits (e.g. prunes, apple, pear puree) *Please check these ingredients to make sure that your child has previously eaten and tolerated them.
Notes
These muffins may be made and frozen in advance of your child’s baked milk challenge. To defrost, take out of the freezer at least two hours before the challenge appointment time. If you want to make these into chocolate muffins – swap 15g of the flour for 15g cocoa powder and mix them together.
