Absolutely delicious but smell terrible, mind you I made these for myself not a toddler and the more they sit the more I can taste the veggies. But overall a 4.5 out 5 in my book.
Super yummy and easy to make!! I cannot bake. I never do any baking and when I do I usually fail, but I managed to make these with no hiccups! I can taste a slight hint of banana, but no other trace of veggies at all. I will definitely be making these again and again 😊
Absolutely delicious! My toddler and I are OBSESSED with these muffins!! So great for breakfast. We made a double batch and froze some for later and they tasted great after being frozen as well!
I found out about this recipe through TikTok, and I was skeptical, but it’s AMAZING. I did a half batch (for myself, an adult haha) and used granulated sugar, AP flour, and Fairlife chocolate milk (it’s what I had on hand). Other than that, I followed the recipe precisely. I did sprinkle chopped pecans with sea salt on top of 3 of the muffins for an extra yum. You can’t taste the veggies and as someone who doesn’t like overly sweet desserts, these are perfect. I follow calorie deficits, and I made about 7 muffins from my half batch with each muffin containing about 143 calories.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! I’m so happy you enjoyed it with small changes. Chopped pecans sounds like an amazing addtion.
My toddler loves these! I have made it to the recipe, which was delish, but ran out of bananas last night and subbed it with 100g cooked sweet potato. Tasted awesome! (And three veggies for my toddler is a big win lol)
