I’ve been asked by a lot of people recently to post more snack recipes for kids. My kids are absolute snack monsters and whilst I do buy pre-made shop snacks for them, I also like to have a couple of homemade snacks on hand as a healthier alternative.

These Mini Muffins are brilliant. They’re so easy to make with just six ingredients and are great for freezing. They are also brilliant for younger kids and toddlers or children who won’t eat a whole normal sized muffin.

Ingredients

The six simple ingredients are:

• eggs
• melted butter
• plain yogurt
• honey or maple syrup
• self raising flour
• chocolate chips

And all the measurements and instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

How To Make Homemade Mini Muffins

These are so easy to make, with everything being mixed in one bowl.

1. Step 1: Add the eggs, melted butter, yogurt and honey to a large bowl and mix well.

2. Step 2: Add the flour and chocolate chips.

3. Step 3: Fold in the flour and chocolate chips but do not over-mix it.

4. Step 4: Divide the mixture between a 24 hole mini muffin tray.

Substitutions

If you want to make these mini muffins gluten or dairy free, simply swap for gluten free flour and dairy free yogurt and chocolate chips.

You can also change up the flavour. I have a Lemon Mini Muffin recipe here which you might like.

Storing & Freezing

These muffins will only keep for a couple of days in an airtight container. Because they contain no preservatives they unfortunately don’t last too long.

However they are brilliant for freezing. Pop them into a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months.

They will defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours. I add them straight to lunchboxes frozen and they are defrosted by lunchtime.
