Cornersmith Muffins
Baking muffins kind of just happens to you as a parent. One day you find yourself obsessed with snacks. Enter the muffin.
Even if you aren’t a baker, they are the baked good that can be whipped up quickly and easily. This is a base muffin recipe that you can add what you like to. May we suggest that you avoid getting too earthy. Use the fruits or vegetables that are everyone’s favourite and finish off the more delicious pantry strays, such as coconut, chocolate chips, ground spices, seeds and nuts.
I can't tell you how many lunch box rejected zucchini and bran muffins I have thrown away. Stick to what you know is delicious and these muffins will always be the answer to lunchbox and snack dilemmas.
