Pumpkin spice muffins

This recipe is part of our Good Square Meal campaign in collaboration with FareShare, the UK’s biggest food waste charity, to fund the distribution of up to 250,000 meals to children who need them most.

As part of the campaign, we’ve collaborated with baby weaning expert Shikha Gill, founder of My Little Food Critic, to create healthy baby weaning recipes. 

These baby weaning friendly no added sugar pumpkin spice muffins are so delicious and filled with warming spice and flavour. They are great for breakfast or snack time for babies or toddlers.
