I’ve been on a mission lately for my family to eat more vegetables at every meal even for breakfast! These healthy delicious muffins do just the trick!

The muffins are packed with soo much goodness and my family just loves them. You can easily double the recipe and freeze them to have on hand for those busy hectic mornings.

They can be made with two bowls and just stirring by hand. It’s the perfect time to get the kids involved in cooking and meal prep. They love shredding the veggies with the Cuisinart.

  1. I made your banana muffins this morning. Not only did the house smell amazing, but they were just plain yummy! We are on a low sodium diet and I used unsalted butter, but they are scrumptious anyway! Froze 6 of them and the others at looking at us for coffee in the morning. Thank you!

    I made these muffins this morning. I didn’t have applesauce, so I substituted 1/3 cup mashed banana. They turned out beautifully. It’ll be my quarantine breakfast for days. Thank you!
