just made banana chocolate chip muffins.   you gotta be careful what you say to me...I'm highly influenceable!

Well, I might make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies later.   Or those cinnabon things.

I had a glass of wine and went to bed last night.

How did yours turn out?  L has actually been eating them, so I see me making them regularly here.   They are somewhat good... right?  Better than mcdonalds?? 

Kapalua

they're divine.  I'm not telling how many I've eaten.

and bananas are healthy!  Definitely better than McD's on the healthy scale!

I don't think the ones I made used any oil or butter in them, oddly enough.

What recipe did you use?

You can bump up the nutritional value by adding whole wheat flour, or a tablespoon of flax meal for omega 3s.

 

Kapalua

 the first one I found on Allrecipes.  There was 1/4 c. of vegetable oil.  Not too bad.

I wish I could find the recipe I used!  For the life of me, I can't!!

I did use the white whole wheat flour...but the flax meal is a good idea!

I'm wondering if I make foods into muffins he will eat them?

Maybe shred some carrots, zucchini, ham, cheese, etc.

Do you have deceptively delicious?  There are muffin recipes in there.  But, I think you could totally be on to something!

r9stedt

No, I have heard of it.  I am sure I can google some recipes though.  However, sneaking it past L will be a different story! That kid catches everything!

this isn't the recipe, but sounds yummy!

I wouldn't try to 'sneak' it by, but adding some veggies can't hurt. Some of my friends who were trying to do the puree thing had it backfire on them -- one person's son caught her pureeing stuff and became suspicious of EVERYTHING.
