I haven't written in awhile because school has begun which affects all of us in the house. Mom goes back to work as do the girls and daddy preps for afternoon homework helper. It's also the time of year we start making muffins again.
This is a staple in our house to take to school for snack time. It makes me feel good because of the volume of veggies that go inside each little muffin. The girls love them, I love them and so does daddy. They are especially yummy the moment they come out of the oven but honestly, they are delicious and moist when cold too.
I usually use a pre-made muffin mix like fiber one mixes because they are easy, and I love the extra fiber that's hidden so well among delicious flavors like banana nut, blueberry and apple spice. I then take approximately 3 cups of shredded veggies (carrots, zucchinni or both), and throw it into the mix. Continue to follow baking directions. It might take longer for the muffins to finish cooking and you will need to ignore the desire to up the temperature because you don't want to burn the bottoms of the delectable treats. I usually leave them in the pan to solidify a little before removing them to a cooling rack.
They are so moist and the kids know that the vegetables are in there and they believe, because I have told them so, that it's the veggies that make them so moist and wonderful so they don't shy away from eating them.
A wonderful, portable healthy snack that is fun for all to make together in the kitchen. I firmly believe kids are more likely to eat it if they have had a hand in making it.
Enjoy!
