Each regular sized muffin provides
- 3/4 children’s serve of grains* (flour)
Allergy modifications
- For a milk protein free option substitute milk with an equal amount of calcium fortified soy or rice milk and omit cheese.
- For an egg free option replace each egg with 1 teaspoon of egg replacer and 2 tablespoons of water.
- For a gluten/wheat free option replace all flour with gluten free self raising flour (check for soy if necessary).
Tips
- Chopped spinach can be replaced with 1 cup corn kernels, 1 diced capsicum or ½ cup grated sweet potato or carrot.
* One children’s serve of (grain) cereal foods is equal to one serve in the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
