Well well well, it’s about time we use those trays again. School’s back!
Muffins are always in my boys’ school lunches as I love that you can make them ahead, freeze them, and just pop them into their lunch box where they’ll defrost and be perfect and fluffy by the time it gets to morning tea time.
Plus when you make them yourself at home, you know exactly what ingredients are going into your child’s lunch.
Some shop-bought ones are frighteningly full of sugar, so make these recipes in bulk, and freeze them for later!
Savoury Herb Zucchini Muffins
The secret ingredient in here (well not so secret) is the zucchini. It makes them delicious and moist, even if you do freeze them! Savoury Herb Zucchini Muffins are a great way to sneak some veggies into your diet. The zucchini makes them moist and delicious, and the herbs add a nice touch of flavor.
If you’re in the mood for something hearty and filling, Savoury Herb Zucchini Muffins are definitely worth trying.
Sultana Cinnamon
Using wholemeal flour in your home cooking is a good way to hide a healthy ingredient from the kids…. Just remember if you are substituting wholemeal flour for normal flour in any recipe, you need to add a little bit more liquid or it will be dry! Not in this recipe though – it is made with wholemeal flour, rolled oats and sultanas!
Sultana cinnamon is a type of cinnamon that is often used in baking. It has a sweet, mellow flavor that is perfect for adding to cookies, cakes, and other desserts. However, sultana cinnamon can also be used in savory dishes, such as curries and stews.
Three-Ingredient Berry Muffins
This three-ingredient recipe is not only easy – but you can use any available berries you have on hand! Three-Ingredient Berry Muffins are a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh berries in a delicious muffin. The recipe is simple: just mix together berries, sugar, and flour, and bake.
If you’re looking for a light and fluffy dessert with a delicate flavor, this sweer treat is probably for you. If you’re in the mood for something quick and easy, they might just hit the spot.
Healthy Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins
I have included a little brown sugar in this recipe, but please, feel free to just leave it out or alternatively substitute it with the same amount of apple puree. My blueberries were a little tart, so give your blueberries a try before making these to judge how much or little sugar to add!
Cheesy Spinach and Cauliflower
Muffins don’t need to be sweet! In fact, I think savory ones are so much better as not only can I make them for the school lunches, but I can heat them up with a little butter and have them for morning tea or a really light lunch. Plus they are a great way to use up odds and sods of vegetables in the fridge!
Gluten Free Banana, Coconut and Blueberry Muffins
There are so many options for people sensitive to Gluten or Celiac now. With gluten-free flours being so readily available, it does make it easier to live with the condition. This recipe uses Almond Meal instead of flour, which is delicious regardless of any allergies you might have.
Apple and Cinnamon Oat Muffins
Feel free to reduce the amount of brown sugar in this recipe, or you can leave it out altogether if you like! Apple and Cinnamon Oat Muffins are a fall favorite. The combination of sweet apples and warming cinnamon is delicious, and the oats add a lovely texture.
This recipe lightens things up by using yogurt in place of some of the oil and adding a bit of extra baking powder for a lift. The result is a treat that is moist and flavourful, with a wonderful spiced taste. Give this recipe a try, and you may just find yourself making muffins all season long!
Gluten Free Dairy Free Raspberry Muffins
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Raspberry Muffins are a delicious and healthy alternative! They are perfect for those with gluten or dairy allergies, and they are also vegan and grain-free. I was really excited to try them!
