Ever wonder how to get more vegetables and fiber into your children, in a way that they will enjoy? These muffins are delicious and the only thing they'll notice is the subtle sweetness the veggies add.
They are high in fiber, vitamins A&C and folate... all important nutrients to grow healthy kids. They're also cholesterol free and packed with omega-3s! They're also great for freezing and thawing, as needed.
