Cooking with Kids?

This is a great recipe to make with children. Get them to help with the weighing and measuring. Kids love to help mixing up the muffin mixture too. Just ensure caution is taken when placing in and taking out of the oven.

Is it Vegan?

This recipe is suitable for people following a gluten free diet but not a vegan diet as it contains eggs. You could substitute the eggs for applesauce or flax seed egg. You can find a great list of egg replacements here.

Do I need any specialist equipment?
