My two boys are quite fussy when it comes to eating vegetables especially green ones. I created these muffins to add some vegies into their diet. Even though the muffins are super healthy, they are quite the hit with all ages especially at morning or afternoon tea time. I can be sure that every last crumb will be devoured so my boys are guaranteed to get some vitamins and minerals into them. These are also suitable for freezing. Enjoy!
