Prepping the school lunches can be a smooth operation if you’re organised with everything you need at hand. And sometimes it can feel like your caught in a whirlwind of whippersnappers. To keep the morning rush as calm as can be we’ve found six mini loaves you can make on the weekend and have ready to go as you head for the door.
Here are our favourite mini loaves for mini lunches
Carrot combo
We’re a sucker for a good carrot cake and we think most tykes are too. These lovely little carrot and pear loaves are beautifully moist, nut-free and packed full of flavour – perfect for popping in the school lunch box!
Store in an airtight container for three days or freeze and keep for up to three months. (via Bake Eat Repeat)
