After a big morning of ~~painting mummy’s clothes which was apparently hilarious, 14 months is too young for finger painting~~ painting, I found myself home with a very tired and hungry Harry. These little bites are packed full of good stuff and can be eaten up fast. I hope I am now in for a looooong day sleep. Please?

Nutrition Note: Want fresher than fresh? Frozen spinach retains its nutrients and flavour so can be even more nutritious than the fresh bunch that has been sitting in your fridge all week.

Could you substitute the cheese with anything? My daughter is dairy intolerant 🙁

  Hi Nicole, we think the egg will be enough of a binder for these so perhaps just leave out the cheese. You can add an extra egg, herbs or bacon if you want extra flavour. Hope that helps x

Just put a batch of these in the oven now to try with my 2.5yo.
Do I assume that all your recipes are using a fan forced oven or only when specified?
Also, it would be great to know if this recipe (and others) are suitable for freezing if possible.

  Hi Tobi, thanks for your message. The oven temps are for conventional ovens, if using fan forced you may need to reduce by 10-20 degrees. Ovens all vary so much these days it is hard to say exactly. We have written a Freezing and Defrosting guide to try and help with this (link attached) and in most of our newer recipes we have included freezing options as this is really helpful.

Just made these into mini muffins and they were a huge hit with my 17 month old 🙂

HI – are these ok to freeze or is the rice an issue?

Kind regards
Di

  I have frozen these and they were OK. They do lose their shape a little once defrosted.

Any ideas to replace eggs? Would it work if I used flaxseeds or too many eggs to try and replace?
