Strawberry Cauliflower Muffins

Strawberry cauliflower muffins! These vegetable muffins are a great addition to your list of recipes for picky eaters.

While it’s common for parents to receive the message that the best way to get kids to eat vegetables is to hide them, we disagree.

Of course, we also understand that sometimes kids just aren’t going to be excited about eating a plate of greens.

But that’s where recipes like this one come in!

We encourage you to make recipes like this one together with your kids, so they can see everything that goes into it, including the cauliflower.

That way, there’s no hiding.

Plus, baked goods like this are a great way to expose picky eaters to new foods!

Benefits of Cauliflower + Strawberries

This recipe came together because we decided to add some riced cauliflower to our standard strawberry muffin recipe, and it went over so well we had to share.

Cauliflower works great in this recipe because not only does it have a neutral flavor, it’s also nutrient-dense.

It’s a great source of fiber, as well as vitamins K and C.

As for strawberries, they’re also packed with vitamin C, fiber, and full of antioxidants.

For this recipe, you can use either fresh or frozen strawberries and riced cauliflower.

How to Make Them

To make this recipe, you’ll start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

Then, mix together your dry ingredients. This includes whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

In a smaller bowl, make two chia eggs. Chia eggs work beautifully as as binding agent for plant-based baked goods. To make one egg, gently mix together 1 Tablespoon chia seeds with 2 Tablespoons of water in a small dish and let it sit for about 5 minutes to gel.

Once your chia eggs are ready, you’ll add them to the other wet ingredients in a new bowl. This includes olive oil, maple syrup, a mashed banana, unsweetened non-dairy milk (like soy, almond, or oat), vanilla, and white vinegar.

Next, mix your wet and dry ingredients together until just combined.

Then, add chopped strawberries and riced cauliflower and gently fold them into your batter.

Divide your batter into a greased muffin tin and bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
