With a daughter who is very active, (another who seems to be following suit!) often we are off to an event or a dance/sport class or an active play somewhere after school so I always need great grab and go options to fuel her for the from school pick up to home for dinner space to keep her going, and as a busy kid she wants something that's tastes great, is easy to eat and gives her the energy needs.
These muffins have been such a hit with both my kids and their friends and even my mother whose cauliflower cheese was legendary!
They are really so quick to whip together and your house smells *amazing* afterwards too.

ReplyDeleteThis recipe pinned - it definitely is unique. Right now I can't handle seeds but hopefully, in about 6 weeks, that will change. Alana
ReplyDeleteThanks Alana! Love to hear what you think!
DeleteWow, 8 minutes to make these muffins? You know, it's funny because I'm a big fan of any muffin that has seeds or nuts in them. This looks awesome. Thanks for the great share!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nate! The longest bit is the grating - I whip these up just before school pick up so they are still nice and warm and crunchy and nice and easy to make:)
DeleteThese sound amazing. I'd love to taste one. What about grating the cauliflower? I can just imagine the florets collapsing and your finger getting cut. I guess it would be best to use a machine and keep your fingers smooth. Visiting from Blogger's Corner. http://bit.ly/JBC6am
ReplyDeleteThanks Francene! They are so yum and smell wonderful. I don;t have a grater machine, old fashioned grater here! I just use a large floret and grate flat against the grater and discard the left over too hard bits. Its a great recipe if you have had a cauliflower in the fridge that has gone a little bendy too!

DeleteYummm, I do love the cauliflower and cheese combo. I'll have to try these; they look yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks AmyG!! They are really worth trying!
DeleteThese look delicious Bek, will definitely be trying them! Anything with cheese is good in my books :)
