Confetti Corn Muffins with Raddish Kids
There’s something extra special about packing a lunch your kid helped make themselves.
That’s why we teamed up with Raddish Kids to create a recipe that gets little chefs into the kitchen and gives parents one more easy addition for the lunch-packing rotation: Confetti Corn Muffins.
Packed with bacon, cheddar, and corn these muffins are colorful, kid-friendly, and perfectly portioned for a PlanetBox lunch box.
Made with Prep to Pack Baking Trays
These Confetti Corn Muffins are even easier to take from oven to lunch box when you bake them in our Prep to Pack Baking Tray.
These two silicone baking trays are designed so that everything you bake fits perfectly into the compartments of your PlanetBox lunch box. Each tray makes six portions, so you can bake a batch on Sunday and pack straight from the tray all week long.

Why We Love Raddish Kids
When the Raddish team reached out about creating a recipe together, we were immediately on board. We already have Raddish Kids fans right here on the PlanetBox team!
"My daughter gets so excited when she sees a new box on our porch from Raddish. She loves baking and collecting the badges and can actually make many of the recipes without a lot of help. I once woke up on a Saturday morning to find cupcakes that she had baked all on her own!" — Casey, PlanetBox Brand Manager
