These ideas are great, but is there a recipe for a base muffin mix that you can use and alter what you add to it to create some if these great combinations?

Hi Nadia. There are a few base recipes you can use, but they do vary depending on ingredients, sweet or savoury. For savoury muffins we created a
pick ‘n’ mix’ recipe so you can use whatever other ingredients you have in the fridge. I hope that helps 🙂 https://ohcooks.wpengine.com/recipe/baby-toddler-food-pick-n-mix-savoury-muffins/
