Enjoy Life proves that vegan, allergy-friendly baked goods are just as good (or even better!) than those containing egg or wheat, and their Muffin Mix sure has us convinced! Enjoy Life Muffin Mix is the perfect baseline for any type of muffin you can dream up – in other words, it’s a great way to get creative in the kitchen regardless of dietary restrictions. We love adding fresh blueberries and bananas, but there’s no limit to the flavor combinations you can create! Taste for yourself at the Kids Food Festival March 5th and 6th in Bryant Park, NYC – and for fun, allergy-friendly recipes, don’t miss Kitchen to Classroom: Kids Can Cook featuring Kendra Peterson on March 5th  on the main stage!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s fun to mix the batter with my mom. Let’s add chocolate chips!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Enjoy Life Muffin Mix makes baking fun and easy for my whole family – even those of us with food allergies. My kids love to help me measure and combine the ingredients, and the muffins bake up soft and delicious every time. I also like that I send my kid to school with a tray of these tasty muffins knowing everyone in the class can safely have a taste.
