Over the summer hols, we ran our first online challenge for parents who’d previously attended or signed up for info on our courses. 10 Steps to more Veggies is a five week e-course which aims to inspire and support parents to cook more with their children and when better to test it out than over the long school summer holidays.
We featured 10 of our more popular veggie smuggling recipes and support from tutors and other families through a private Facebook group. Everything was kept pretty low key, as we were testing our new e-course platform but were thrilled when 100 families signed up within a week.
Today we’re featuring the hands down favourite recipe of the course (although there were no losers!) Everyone loves this recipe and it’s a great lower sugar treat for your family, which your little ones will LOVE making with you. We’ve been known to polish a few off with a pot of tea.
Chocolate and Beetroot Muffins
makes 16 muffins
* Adult supervision is required when using sharp objects (graters, knives) and the oven.
Tip:
Grating beetroot can be tricky (and messy). Try disposable rubber gloves!
Try something different...
- Try sultanas, chopped prunes or apricots instead of cranberries
- Wholemeal flour works well in this recipe
- If you can’t find beetroot, finely grated carrot could be used in its place.
