Cheesy Bacon and Vegetable Muffins

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 12, 2019October 29, 2020

A quick, exciting, and nutritious lunchbox idea that the kids will actually eat (and enjoy!)

Move over boring Vegemite sandwiches, and hello Cheesy Bacon and Vegetable Muffins! These babies are packed with veggies, and are a great ready-to-go sandwich substitute that you can keep in the freezer, and pop into the kid’s lunchboxes on those busy school mornings.

This recipe really is as easy as combining the ingredients, spooning the mixture into a muffin tray, and putting them into the oven.

Cheesy Muffins. Easy Lunchbox Snack. Sandwich Substitute. Easy Lunch Box Filler.

They make a great after school snack for the kids too! I like to make these muffins in a regular sized muffin tray and a mini muffin tray too. I follow the same cooking process for the mini muffins, but cook them for about 5 minutes less.

Bacon and Vegetable Muffin. Great for Kids Lunches. Kids Lunchboxes. Savoury Muffin.I like to make a batch of these Cheesy Bacon and Vegetable Muffins at the same time as I bake a couple of other recipes from my Lunch Box Recipes Cookbook (which are all freezable!). It’s a really quick and easy way for me to get a good stockpile of lunch box fillers into my freezer, and it means my kids and hubby don’t get bored with the same thing day after day.

A big bake up like this can last me weeks, save me a fortune, and make my mornings run so much smoother.

To make school lunches even more fuss-free, I’d recommend using my Lunch Box Planner Pad in addition to the Lunch Box Recipes Cookbook. This way you can make sure you have everything you need before the week kicks off, and save yourself from those annoying (and expensive!) mid-week supermarket trips. I have bundled these items together in a savings pack for you.

I’ve always pre-cooked the bacon before adding to muffin mixes. Is this not necessary? I’ve also substituted a good quality, double smoked ham (or prosciutto) for the bacon when in a rush. Great recipe, thanks!

in other recipes I do the same but I find it doesn’t need it in this recipe 🙂

Wonderful recipe!! So moist and yummy! My kids loved it. Even my husband, who does not usually eat muffins – loved it so much. Thank you for sharing!

Just made a batch of these and they are great. My wife doesn’t think there will be any left for lunches, once our son gets home from school

Hi Katrina, I notice in the photo for Cheesy Bacon and Vegetable Muffins you have used a mini muffin tin…how did this alter the cooking time?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife February 13, 2020 - 1:03 PM

Great question Lisa! I followed the exact same process, but probably cooked them for about 5 minutes less than the larger muffins. I hope you love them! Kat x

Just made these, subbed the bacon with turkey – yummy and moist! I made 16, how do I freeze some and how long do they last? Also to reheat when I’m ready to eat after freezing?

Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 20, 2020 - 2:31 PM

Glad you love them Kim! You could wrap them individually with cling wrap to store in the freezer, or seal them in an air-tight container before freezing. I heat mine in the microwave before serving. Hope this helps 🙂 Kat

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
