Glad they are freezer friendly as making snacks for this lot need to prepare some in bulk.

  Freezer friendly recipes are always welcome; just in case there are any left over muffins.

Adding oat to banana muffins is a good idea.

Has anyone actually tried these with their kids? Im thinking my kids will smell the health in this and avoind them. I baken regular carrot cake last week and all they ate was the icing.

These look really nice and healthy. We dont have raw sugar at home. Does anyone know if I can use an alternative. Has anyone tried brown or caster sugar or just regular white sugar?
