You can make this versatile recipe with any veggies you like to suit your kids. My girls love the melted cheese and veggies and always come back for more. This is a great little recipe that helps you clean out your fridge and pantry with veggies that are soon to be thrown out.

 

TIPS
Batch baking these makes life easier in the mornings. Store the muffins in an airtight container in the pantry for 2–3 days or freeze for up to a month.

Gluten free
Use gluten-free self-raising flour.

Dairy free
Sub in your favourite plant- based milk.

Fussy eaters
Change up the vegetables to suit your little peeps – carrot, sweet potato, peas, sweetcorn and pumpkin are great alternatives.

Pour the mixture to a depth of 1 cm into the six muffin holes.

Distribute the mushrooms, capsicum and spring onions evenly amongst the muffins, top each with a cube of cheese, then pour in the remaining mixture, stopping 1 cm from the top. Place half a cherry tomato on top of each muffin.

Bake for 20 minutes in the oven, until golden brown. Insert a skewer into the centre of a muffin to check for doneness – if it comes out clean they are good to go.

If using an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 15 minutes.
