We love muffins here. I love making a big batch and popping into the freezer for lunchboxes throughout the following month. My Chocolate Zucchini Muffins are a huge hit here but I thought I would try them with carrot and a touch of spice. The kiddies are hge fans of these and have no idea there is hidden goodness http://www.trtlmt.com.au/wp-admin/post.php?post=9512&action=editin these.
Looking for more ways to sneak in some veggies? Have a read of my Hidden Vegetable Meals and Tips for children (and husbands) resource.
