Muffins are the perfect addition to a lunchbox whether for school, picnic, or even an hour at the playground. They satisfy hunger craving and are usually also nutritious.

Most can be frozen for 2-3 months so if you make a large batch you can always have some available in the freezer. Here's a list of 10 of my favourite recipes, most of them tried and tested.
