On my pursuit to find healthy or, I would be happy with just healthier snacks that the kids want to eat I decided to try what a lot of moms have been up to lately. Jessica Seinfeld has a successful cookbook or two about sneaking in the veggies. Hidden vegetable purees, a secret never told to the kids, or good luck getting them to try the next creation!
So, I saw on facebook a friend was making chocolate muffins with chocolate cake mix and pumpkin puree. I thought I would try it, except I did not have pumpkin- sweet potato is close enough right?
Here's how it went over-

That face says it all!! That's such a cute picture of Tovrea. I have a recipe for "sneaky muffins" but you grate the veg (sweet potato and zucchini) -- would that ruin the sneak for your kids? I'll find it and email it to you anyway -- they are good!
ReplyDeletethanks Melissa, can't wait to try your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI make an awesome chocolate cake that use pumpkin puree and i sold it at my bakery and it was a hit! i'm going to post the recipe soon! good job though on trying it out - too many people not doing it and serving their kids just the chocolate muffin for a "nutritious snack!"
