Kid Friendly Veggie Muffins! image

Sneak veggies into a finicky diet with these! Follow the recipe to the T for a super healthy well balanced snack, or use what you have and be happy they're eating any vegetables at all! Okay, there's a little butter and sugar in there...we're trying to be sneaky remember? I actually find these a bit bland but my kids scarfed them down (even my 17 month old, who thinks food is strictly for throwing!). If I were making them of me, I'd add more sugar.

Time 35m

Yield 24 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole wheat flour (or what you have on hand)
2 -3 tablespoons soy flour (omit if you'd like but it adds protein)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar (or other sweetener)
2 -3 tablespoons honey (optional)
1 egg
3 cups vegetables, pureed (I use 6 jars of baby food)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray muffin pans or line with muffin papers.
  • Mix ingredients with electric mixer until well blended (I never mix dry then wet or cream butter and sugar -- if you'd like to by all means use all the bowls you want!).
  • Fill muffins 2/3 full with batter.
  • Bake 25 minutes until or toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool partially in the pan then remove to wire rack.
  • Store half in an air tight container.
  • Freeze the other half. Microwave to defrost.
  • I like to use sweeter veggies. Usually 2 jars of sweet potatoes, 1 of sweet peas, 1 carrots, and 2 mixed veggies (you can find spinach, green beans and corn this way).
  • If you are using your own steamed vegetables, you may need to add some fruit juice to thin it out to the consistency of applesauce.
  • If you don't have 3 cups of vegetables, make up the difference with unsweetened apple sauce or mashed bananas.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots or zucchini in the fridge and these muffins are a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but these muffins were surprisingly good. The veggies were finely chopped so they weren't too noticeable. The muffins were also very moist and flavorful.
