Savoury Muffins to get kids eating vegetables | Egg Muffins | Kukskitchen

I struggle to get any vegetable down my little one. I frequently try to disguise them but kids now-a-days, as sharp as they are, realise the difference in taste and pick them out. So I changed my strategy. I will tell him what is in there but club it with some thing he finds really yummy.

Presented below is one such invention - Savoury muffin. He likes muffins (who doesn't!!) and he likes eggs and sausages. I have tried various vegetables in this muffin and he eats them hands down each time. Amma 1- Mathai 0. 

Make sure you serve with carbs in some form to make it a balanced meal. These yummy muffins go well with potato wedges and ketchup. To make them at home, blanch cleaned and wedged potatoes in boiling water for 6-8 mts. Drain and dry. Toss them in salt and pepper and a pinch of red chilli powder and oven bake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.



A few things before we start:

• Use egg whites alone for a low fat high protein snack.
• Use any vegetable you like or rather your chottas doesn't like. Make sure to cut them in to bite size pieces.  
• Add bacon bits for extra flavor.
• Add a few pieces of cooked potatoes to add carbs.
• Whisk eggs for  a good few minutes for a souffle effect.
• I used hot dogs on this occasion
• You can use fresh or frozen vegetables, works well either way.
