Savoury muffins can be a great lunch addition for picnics & family outings or a quick on the go snack. They are easy to make & fun to do with children.
From personal experience we have found that experimenting in the kitchen with our toddler has always been a success & encouraged him to try new foods! After all, they do say anything they love to make, they will love to eat! Expect mess, they’ll enjoy mushing, squishing & sculpting – let them get involved as much as possible (but only if it is safe to do so of course & always be there to supervise). Before you know it you will have a budding chef in the making!
