Soft, warm and delicious Clean Eating Raspberry Muffins. Serve them up with a healthy dollop of butter for a delicious lunchbox treat or after school snack.

I’ve packed a lot of lunch boxes in my day. A LOT. And the one thing that makes this chore so much easier is to have some sort of strategy. It sounds like I’m planning an invasion, but trust me – at pre-cofffee 6.00am – You NEED a lunchbox making strategy.

My Lunchbox Strategy

I’ve got this little plan when it comes to packing lunches. It’s nothing over complicated. I borrowed the idea from my kids kindergarten teacher (15 years ago). It’s made my life a whole lot easier and taken the headache out of school lunches.

Whenever I pack a lunchbox, I divide it into three parts:

Morning Tea: is always a fruit or vegetable (whole fruit, fruit sald or slices, chopped veggies and dip)
Lunch: either a sandwich, leftovers, slice or a salad (this one is the latest trending lunchbox salad)
Afternoon Tea: this is where I add a treat (like these raspberry muffins or Superfood energy bar)

I’ve put together a cheatsheet of ideas (get it here) to show you how easy this is.

Raspebbery Muffins Recipe Notes

These Clean Eating raspberry muffins are easy to make. Muffins don’t need too much TLC as they’re pretty resiliant to most mess ups. My kids can bake these and that is saying something. A couple of notes on the recipe:

I use 4 tablespoons of maple syrup in this recipe, but if you are using ripe, sweet bananas, then you can drop that down to two tablespoons and the muffins will still taste sweet.
Einkorn Flour is used for added nutrients. But if you’ prefer, you can use Organic plain white flour or white spelt flour as a substitute.
I used a medium to large sized Banana and frozen raspberries (or blueberries if you want to change it up) add the extra sweetness.
If you are using frozen berries, let them thaw a little before adding them to the batter.
I’ve used yogurt to add some probiotic benefits. You can use either plain or Greek yogurt.

Freezing and Storing your Raspberry Muffins

These muffins keep well for three days in an airtight container. I think they lose their softness after this, but you can reheat in the oven for acouple minutes to freshen up. If you are making a batch to freeze, allow to cool completely before popping them into freezer bags or freezer proof Tupperware.

Thawing your Muffins

Thaw at room temperature or add a frozen muffin to school lunchboxes in the morning, and they are perfectly thawed by morning tea (PLUS they keep the lunch items cool for later).
