How do you make your child eat vegetables? I found my answer with savory semolina muffin a great option for veg muffins without eggs. Do you have some other alternates?

|Another Alternate: Spicy Semolina Cake

While I am connected with many moms of the different age group of a child, they all find it challenging to make their child eat vegetables. Many moms confessed that their kids are mostly surviving on Noodles, burgers, and pizzas.

Fortunately, as a child, I never had these options.

I was observing my child for quite some time and realized that he has become picky in his choice of vegetables. He has started removing peas from his vegetable and same is the case with carrots. A mother understands the importance of vegetables, however, kids don’t.

Instead of vegetables, my kid loves muffins. Be it any muffin, he would simply grab one whenever he gets a chance. This was a lot of sweet intake and I was contemplating of replacing sweet muffins with savory muffins. Remember what I said in my article on developing healthy eating habits.

I decided to kill two birds with one stone. This gave birth to the idea of savory vegetable muffins recipe. I just needed to decide on the base cereal for this vegetable savoury muffins. There also I made a healthy choice of picking semolina and crafted savoury semolina muffins.

I have curated the list of recommended tools and ingredients for baking. I recommend only tried and tested products that have given satisfactory results in my kitchen.
