I like to bake muffins for my kids and hubby to accompany their lunch. It’s the perfect treat to break up a long day at work or school. I love baking muffins myself rather than purchasing them from the shop, as I like to add in and change the ingredients as I please. I’ve put together a list of 18 sweet muffin recipes that are perfect in the lunch box. Anyone with a sweet tooth will love these ideas!

BANANA AND OATBRAN MUFFINS – A healthy after school snack for the kids or leave out the nuts (if not permitted at your school) and add to the kids school lunchbox. Find the recipe here.

BANANA HONEY MUFFINS – I always buy bananas on our weekly grocery shop, some weeks they are eaten up quickly, others they aren’t.  Usually I leave them as long as possible in the fruit bowl and then freeze them for future baking.  I spoon 6 patty cases with the mixture and then add some walnuts to the remainder of the mix.  I do it this way as the kids can’t have nuts at school, so I have a few school lunchboxes and the others for home. Find the recipe here.

Can any of these be frozen? My mother in law looks after all the grandkids after school and I like to maker her big batches of muffins that she can freeze and only get out what she needs each day to make things a little easier on her. Do you have any other after school snack ideas?
Thanks

Hi Katrina. I’m having trouble with the banana and honey muffin recipe link – it just takes me to a picture of the muffins but no recipe. I’ve tried it a few times. All the other links I have used have been fine. Thanks
