Toddler Muffins...yum-o!
 

I found these yummy muffins on recipezaar.com (great place)....My three yr.old is a wicked picky eater (did I just say wicked? :giggle) and Im always trying to find new ways to get some veggies into her! she loved these and actually thinks they're cake! WAHHHHAHAHA!! :rockon so I thought Id share them on here....

Toddler Muffins

3/4 c. applesauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. veg. oil
1 c. grated carrots
1 c. grated zucchini (I pureed the veggies so she wouldnt be turned off by orange & green chunks!)
1 c. whole-wheat flour
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. (I think thats 350F? check your conversion charts)
In a large bowl, whisk oil & sugar. Beat in egg & applesauce. Stir in carrots & zucchini.
In another bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg & salt. Fold dry into wet,
until just mixed. Grease muffin tray. Spoon in to tops of cups. Bake 18 - 20 minutes. Test w/ toothpick. Enjoy!! :heart

Those look good! Did you puree the veggies when they were raw?

Re: Toddler Muffins...yum-o!
 

yes! they were raw and I just added a tsp. of water to help grind the carrots :) they are deeeelish! very moist from the applesauce and a great flavor! :yes

amazing timing! I was *just* saying to DH that I wanted to make some simple muffins for the kids to have. Healthier ones for them to eat with yogurt, and these sound perfect! :tu
