There are times when it can seem impossible to get vegetables into your toddler, so we need to get creative. I have a few different vegetable muffin recipes but this might just be my favourite yet. They are colourful and moist, not dry and plain like so many others. The Pumpkin Nourishing Bubs cubes can be swapped for 4 Sweet Potato Cubes and 4 Carrot Cubes, as long as there is a total of 200g of "orange" vegetable puree in there, they should work perfectly!
