Even though Amelia is a pretty good eater, I keep looking for new ways to get more fruits and veggies into her. Because she is so obsessed with muffins, I try different recipes to see which work and which don’t. So I can tell you, these work!

These muffins are light and fluffy, not dense like many healthy muffins. They are packed with 2 fruits, a veg, and 2 kinds of protein. That’s a well rounded muffin with NO SUGAR ADDED!

I took these straight out of the oven tonight and Amelia ate two straight away and Mattie ate almost a whole regular sized muffin! These are kid (and parent) approved!
