Little D and I are the muffin lovers in the family. As I mentioned in my White Bean Banana Bread post, I prefer muffins and sweetbreads without a lot of sugar. These get enough sweetness from the brown sugar and banana. You can also substitute with canned pumpkin and add more sugar if you like your muffins sweeter. The possibilities are endless!
Sometimes these go into lunches with a boiled egg and fruit or are used for thequick snack. When storing, keep in the fridge or freezer as they are moist and shouldn’t be left out atroom temperature for more than about 24 hours.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Jen saysThese look great! Only thing is I don’t see milk listed in the ingredients. Do you use regular milk, or would unsweetened vanilla almond milk work?

Though not a muffin fan myself, my 14 months old daughter seems to love them at daycare. I am happy I found your recipe and cannot wait for them to be done. I like it because she will get a treat and veggies at the same time. I used less than 1/4 cup of sugar and used agave syrup. Uhm and carrots instead of squash. Looks like I butchered your recipe a bit :-), Jen

I tried this recipe as it seemed super clean and had hidden ingredients that my kids would never try. My husband tasted the first one and said that they smell much better than they taste. So, I was a bit hesitant on having my five year old try it when he asked but I let him. Surprisingly, my 3 and 5 year old both thought they were delicious. Thank you for an awesome recipe!!
