These breakfast muffins are so quick and easy to make and to just grab and go inthe morning. And they’re healthy!
I’ve been on a mission lately for my family to eat more vegetables at every meal and for breakfast, these muffins do just the trick!
These muffins are so packed with goodness and my family just loves them. You can easily double the recipe and freeze them to have on hand for busy mornings.
They can be made with two bowls and just stirring by hand. It’s perfect time to get the kids involved. They love shredding the veggies with the Cuisinart.
They’re packed with healthy ingredients like flax, wholewheat flour, applesauce, carrots and zucchini.

Banana Muffins with Fresh Bananas
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!
Oh that’s wonderful, Patty. I’m so glad you tried the recipe. My family loves those muffins too!
Hugs, Jamie
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!
Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing for my readers.
