Sometimes, only a muffin could do the trick. Muffins are great for many occasions.
- Breakfasts
- Snack time- morning or afternoon
- Sneaking vegetables in
- Portable
- Quick and easy to make
And those are just 5 reasons that I can think of.
Truth is, I’m very lucky. My son eats vegetables. Yep. I know. It’s God-sent. I know of many fussy kiddies and am just secretly glad that my son eats them. I see my girlfriends struggle and attempt so many different ways to get their children to have vegetables and fruits, and I really do feel their pain.
So why do I still include vegetables in muffins? I guess I believe that it is the most easy and natural way to bind ingredients with the natural goodness of starchy vegetables. Pumpkin is so versatile. I tend to have some stash away in the freezer. These muffins didn’t take me long to whip up at all, and I didn’t need to put in any sweetener the mixture, though I did add a touch of honey to the crunch topping.
Another one for me to remember when Asher starts school!
