Toddler Veggie Muffins

Now that we have a toddler in our house, it has been a challenge getting her to eat veggies. She has big issues with things that are mushy and/or slimy and won't even bother 

picking them up to try.

I began to search pinterest for ideas and came across a lot of recipes for veggie muffins. Only problem was, most of these recipes are from scratch...seriously?! 

Repeat after me: "AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!"

This mama doesn't have time to do things like sift flower, and mix together a million ingredients. That being said, my solution was to find a reasonably healthy box mix and then just add veggies. 

I chose a Fiber One blueberry muffin mix because they're a brand a trust, and I figured the "sweetness" of the blueberry would help mask the veggies.

I added 1/2 cup fresh grated carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped steamed broccoli tops to the prepared box mix.

Looks super gross delicious right? Hey, it gets the job done! There are so many other veggies you could add if you have a preference. Zucchini or sweet potatoes would be good choices too, I just decided to start small.  

She approves! In this picture we tried giving her a whole one, and that didn't work out too well. She didn't really know what to do with it. What works really well is tearing it into bite size pieces and pinch it a little to reduce crumbs. 

I made mini muffins so they would store better and be less wasteful (you never know how much they'll eat!). They are good in the freezer for 3 months, and can thaw over night to be ready for breakfast.
