Toddler Veggie Muffins - a must-try recipe!

OpheliaChem

So the post about the carrot pancakes got me thinking about other recipes that involve hiding veggies. Thus I ventured to Pinterest and found this little gem. Amazing. I made a batch this afternoon, ate about half of them (oops!) and made another batch tonight. It makes about 24 muffins and the first batch I did was carrots and zucchs and the second batch was just carrots. And I cook by improvising, so I just dumped some amount of veggies in and since I didn't have oil (thanks, DH, for not writing it on the grocery list), I subbed unsweetened applesauce. My cooking times were longer than the authors but it seems the muffins are almost impossible to screw up. They taste awesome and DD loves them! I had to freeze most of mine so I wouldn't be tempted to eat them all.

Thanks for sharing. I cannot get my DS to eat any veggies except corn. I will try these tomorrow!

Same here. Actually we've never tried corn because she poops, no lie, 3-4 times a day. I'm not sure her system could handle corn :-D I've been trying to hide veggies in food but its not easy. I am trying grilled cheese with spinach tomorrow. And I've found that if I saute certain veggies in olive oil, she gobbles them up! So far, I've had success with sweet pots, carrots, and zucchs.

That's great, thanks! LO won't eat any veggies that aren't pureed, except sweet potatoes. I've been trying to find ways to hide them.
