About this recipe
Mixed veggie and cheddar egg muffins Thermomix TM7 are the ultimate baby-led weaning recipe for parents searching the internet for healthy snack recipes made in an all-in-one kitchen machine. From six months onwards, babies can hold these soft muffins themselves, discovering the sweet taste of capsicum and carrot alongside tiny broccoli florets and mild cheddar. The TM7 takes all the hard work out of preparation: vegetables are chopped to an even, baby-safe fineness in seconds, parsley is minced without a board or knife, and the eggs, gluten free flour and olive oil are blended into a lump-free batter at the touch of a button. Because every piece of vegetable is uniformly small, there is no choking risk from coarse chunks. Bake a batch on Sunday, refrigerate or freeze them, and you have a quick breakfast or lunchbox filler for the whole week. A gentle sprinkle of ground pepper keeps the flavour interesting for older children too.
Preparation tips
- Chop the capsicum, carrot and broccoli separately rather than together, so each vegetable reaches an even, baby-safe fineness before it goes into the egg batter.
- Grease the muffin tin with a little extra virgin olive oil or use silicone moulds; this makes releasing the cheddar muffins easy and adds a soft texture little gums can handle.
- Cool the muffins completely before freezing in a single layer, then transfer to a bag; defrost a couple overnight in the fridge for an effortless baby breakfast or lunchbox snack.
Recipe variations
- Dairy-free version: replace the cheddar with a mild plant-based melting cheese and keep the eggs, broccoli and carrot identical; the muffins stay soft and suitable for babies with a cow's milk sensitivity.
- Festive seasonal twist: swap the capsicum for steamed pumpkin and a pinch of nutmeg in autumn, or add finely chopped courgette in summer for a colourful, garden-fresh variation toddlers love.
