Healthy or not (though I'm inclined to say they are) your vegetable/ fruit breads are always delish! Can't wait to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI made these today and they were super good. None of my kids even noticed the carrots in there. I make your banana choco chip muffins all of the time too. My mini muffin tin has never seen so much good use. Thanks for another good recipe. -Liz
ReplyDeleteAmy, please post as many of these sweet bread recipes as your heart desires. My kids love to have them for breakfast, and since they involve fruits/vegetables I'm gonna go with healthy...healthier than cold cereal anyway.
ReplyDeleteThese are very yummy and I can't believe how many fruits and veggies you fit in.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have cloves so I used allspice, but I don't think it was necessary to add it.
I also used white beans instead of oil. Jenny Zabel told me about trying that. It is the first time I have and I couldn't tell they were in there. And i used half whole wheat flour and it was still moist and delicious.
Keep the great muffins coming.
Heather, I am curious about the white beans. Did you puree them or just put them in whole?
ReplyDeleteI just put mine in whole. Mine were home canned so they were a bit softer than what you'd get in a can from the store, but I would think that all you'd have to do is slightly mash them with a fork. I was surprised to not get little flecks of bean skin, and the texture was great. I guess you can use this substitution in mast baked good, so Jenny said.
ReplyDeleteWe finally made these today. SUPER YUMMY! I replaced the oil with another 1/2 cup of applesauce and they were still very moist. They were really filling too. I love that the recipe makes enough to freeze (if your dog doesn't get to them).
ReplyDeleteThese were a lifesaver! We are down to our last food until payday and I had a can of pumpkin and searched for muffins to make. I will be bookmarking this site! Wonderful! And even the people who don't like pumpkin liked these muffins. I made minimuffins, and it made 70 :) That will get the kids through the week for breakfast.
