Delicious fluffy Apple & Parsnip Muffins. Great snacks for kids, particularly fussy eaters! And made with parsnips from Peppa’s Vegetable Garden

(Sponsored Post)

Kid-Friendly Parsnip and Apple Muffins.

I know what you are probably thinking… parsnips in a muffin! No way are my kids going to eat those! But honestly, these are worth a try! 

A couple of weeks ago I posted a recipe for these delicious Carrot Cake Energy Bites and also these super tasty Tomato Frittata Fingers, inspired by the newly released board book Peppa’s Vegetable Garden. This book, aimed at children aged 2-6 years, follows the story of Grandpa Pig teaching Peppa and George all about growing their own vegetables in the garden.

Parsnip muffins and Peppa's Vegetable Garden Book

The book is a great introduction to vegetables and where they come from. To celebrate the launch of Peppa’s Vegetable Garden this week I’ve made these super tasty muffins made with parnsips, inspired by the vegetables that Peppa and George grow.

The parsnip muffins are wonderfully light and fluffy and also contain some apple for added sweetness. I’ve tested them on my children and their friends and they’ve got a big thumbs up from everyone!

    These sound great! Could I use stewed apple instead of raw grated apple?

    I agree that you really wouldn’t know these were made with parsnip and my little one thought they were “yum”.

    These were a big hit in my house. You can’t taste the parsnip at all!
