Hidden Fruit and Veggie Chocolate Muffins Your Toddler Will Love!

While so many are obsessed with Keto lately, some of us are still just trying to get a toddler to eat their veggies!

These Hidden Fruit and Veggie Muffins appeal to all ages, but if you are trying to get a toddler to eat more veggies, and his palate is just not there yet, these taste like regular ole chocolate muffins! They are quite nutritious and low in added sugar.

My 2 year old Grandson, Theodore, gobbles these up happily! Sometimes he even eats two at a time!

Hidden Fruit and Veggie Chocolate Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350° F.  Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.

Ingredients:

3 Eggs

1 15 oz. Can of Butternut Squash (I use Farmer’s Market Organic which is readily available in most grocery stores)

1/2 Cup of Diced Zucchini

1/2 Cup of Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (thawed)

1/2 Cup of Coconut Flour

1/4 Cup of Cacao Powder (I used this kind)

1/4 Cup of Avocado Oil or Olive Oil

1/4 Cup of Pure Maple Syrup

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder (Here’s my DIY Corn Free Baking Powder Recipe)

1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

Directions: It is so simple because we are using a food processor with a blade attachment. Add your eggs, diced zucchini, butternut squash and blueberries to the food processor and process until smooth. Add all the remaining ingredients and process for one minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process another 30 seconds.

Fill your muffin cups evenly. I like to use a muffin scoop. Bake in your preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Makes 12 Muffins
