We love carrots, so why not have them in muffins too. These carrot cake muffins are the perfect lunchbox snack full of flavour and veggies!

baked falafel
I have been wanting to make falafel for years,Turns out it’s really easy! Serve with some dips and pita for a fun family meal.
mandarin and chia loaf
Got sad mandarins or oranges that need using up? Think banana bread only citrus flavoured and with the added goodness of seeds.
pumpkin and lentil falafel
This lentil falafel recipe is a great alternative to traditional falafels and a great activity to get your kids helping in the kitchen! They are delicious, super easy to make and are a great recipe to explore the benefits of legumes.
pumpkin scones
Miss 6 came home from school one day announcing that she wanted to make pumpkin scones, so we did! Including pumpkin into this recipe adds a twist to the classic scone. Bonus—they contain veg!
sweet potato wraps
A great colourful recipe with only two ingredients in the base!
anzac-ish cookies
This is a healthier spin on a Aussie favourite Anzac cookie. They are no quite Anzacs but we think they are delicious!
muesli bars
Muesli bars are a great source of whole-grains, and my kids just love them! With this recipe you can design your own muesli bars!
jam slice
Who doesn’t love a jam slice?! These beauties are an absolute all-time favourite and continue to be a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults. This is a great, simple recipe if you’re wanting a homemade treat which is flexible with flavours as you can use whatever fruit you have in the house for the jam!
nut-free chickpea cookies
I’m still learning to like tahini and my kids are still learning to like chickpeas but served up in a cookie, and we are all happy! These are a super fun way to get more legumes into your diet. And you can play around with the flavour and design your own creations.
jammingtons
Here’s our healthier spin on an Aussie classic: lamingtons! They may not be like a traditional lamington, but these jammingtons are a crowd favourite amongst my family. A delicious wholemeal sponge cake, filled with chia jam and finished with a coconut chocolate icing.
veggie slice
A firm favourite in my house with my kids. It’s just like a zucchini slice, only with more veggies, so maybe we should call it rainbow slice. This can actually be breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack!
