The beauty of this little recipe is that you can substitute away with your kids preferred vegetables.

When I make these for dinner (with extras for next day’s school lunch) I serve them with guacamole and sour cream and the kids demolish them.

Once again, I’ve avoided the grand mess that comes with frying on the stove and saved myself lots of time by simply popping these fritters into the oven, using the time to tidy up the kitchen and throw together a salad while they cook.

While strawberry daquiri immediately sprung to mind, it was only 2pm … anyhow, for the second punnet, I took the sensible option and decided to use them to make muffins for school lunchboxes this week.

Mr 9 was in the kitchen lending a hand as usual. He just loves it so much! And he’s getting used to me snapping photos of him for my blog and social media, as you can probably tell by his wry smile.

Inheriting another munchkin after nippers, I soon had all three of them circling the hot-out-of-the-oven strawberry muffins like a pack of sharks. And I kid you not, the first bite sent their eyes rolling into the back of heads and into orbit. But all good things come to an an abrupt end, and it was a case of “Sorry kids! I’m a busy lady. The rest are for lunchboxes this week!”

I hope you all enjoy them. And just a little tip, it might be worth making a double batch : )
