My toddler twins, who are very picky eaters, love these. I pureed the vegetables because I didn't want texture to be a reason for them to not try the muffins. I made mini-muffins so they were easy to pack and eat on the go. The recipe made 72 mini-muffins (1 Tbsp of batter) and baked for 8 minutes. I'll definitely make and freeze them again. I made these again but using 2 Tbsp of batter as my kids are bigger now. They baked @ 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Very moist muffins and still a big hit!

made these tonight for my kids. they were fantastic! had to substitute the applesauce for grated apple (didn't have any) and added 1/4 cup of sultanas (just cose my kids love then). the kitchen smelt lovely whilst they were cooking. ideal for packed lunches for school. a five star recipe. thanx chomar.
