Laura, from Yorkshire, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
A great little recipe to get the little ones involved, let them stir the bowl & put the mixture into the muffin tin.
Don’t have leeks? Don’t worry-try a couple of chopped spring onions, chives or a little chopped red onion.
Ingredients (makes 7):
175g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika (normal paprika would work too)
2 eggs
100ml oil (Rapeseed/vegetable oil)
1 leek finely chopped
75g cheddar grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Method:
1) grease a 6 hole muffin tin (silicone one is great) and pre heat oven to 180C
2) sieve the flour into a bowl with the baking powder, bicarbonate and paprika.
3) in a separate bowl/jug beat 2 eggs with the oil, and mustard.
4) stir the wet ingredients into the dry and add the leeks and cheddar. Pop into your muffin tin & bake for 25 minutes.
Take off any crispy top bits before giving to babies, I find Flo struggles with those a bit. (Just have the top bit for yourself 
!)
These worked really well alongside soup as a great alternative to bread! Or a great snack idea.
Do you have any other projects planned?
Lots more baking & cooking. I love to cook for the whole family & have my daughter enjoy the same food we do! I have an Instagram page @foodforfloss dedicated to making meals for everyone including weaning ideas.
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…
Hi I’m Laura, mummy to 1yr old Florence & we live in Yorkshire.
How are you finding being housebound so far?
We’re managing ok, my husband and I are key workers so for us life has pretty much carried on as normal. Can’t wait to have some days out though!
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Make the most of nap time (if they have one!) & put your feet up!
Has this website and community helped you?
Some wonderful ideas!!
