LUNCHBOX HARVEST MUFFINS



Lunchbox Harvest Muffins image

These diminutive muffins make the rotation at least twice a week in my daughter's lunchbox. Although they are filled with plenty of good-for-you ingredients (whole-wheat flour, olive oil, apple and grated vegetables), they are moist and just sweet enough to ensure that they don't end up coming back home, which is the sad fate of many a salami sandwich.
