No the lighting isn't 'off' in this photo...those muffins really are green! A great superfood snack for your little ones...and kinda festive considering St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner!
Are these muffins a delectable treat to save for your afternoon coffee? Likely not. However...our boys devoured them...as did their little buddy who tends to boy-cot his veggies these days...so in my books they are a win! I bookmarked this recipe months ago and now wished I hadn't waited so long to try them! Here they are with a few swaps in ingredients.
Give them a try yourself and let me know what you think! Great for carb-loving kids!
