These broccoli muffins or broccoli cakes as Logan calls them, are super simple to make and delicious. Have them as snacks or as a side dish.

If you struggle to get your little one to eat certain veggies, you can make these with different combinations of flavours.

There’s a lot of talk around hidden veggies. Some say it’s the best way to get a good dose of your little one’s 5 a day, others say it can stop them from liking the taste of individual vegetables. As long as you serve a small amount of the offending vegetable on it’s own regularly, it’s fine hide it in a sauce, pie or muffin now and again.
