A collection of delicious and easy healthy muffins for kids. Most of these recipes contain fruit or vegetables, vegetarian and/or vegan, and lower in sugar. All kid approved by my team of in-house cake testers!

Over the years I've made many different muffins for Sneaky Veg.

Most of them are on the healthy side of baking containing less refined sugar and more wholegrain flours such as rye or spelt.

Many of my kid approved muffins contain vegetables, others are full of fruit.

These muffin recipes are great for kids to make

All of my fruit and vegetable muffins are delicious. And they're all easy to make.

In fact my kids have made many of these with minimal help from me.

Showing kids that sweet treats can be made with nutritious ingredients helps to normalise these ingredients and can encourage them to try new things.
