Here, have a recipe:

Toddler Muffins

Great recipe I got from allrecipes.com and modified. The original called for a jar of baby food squash, but fresh squash works much better IMO. They taste like banana nut muffins but with veggies, and they keep in the fridge for about a week.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large bananas
  • 1 cup zucchini or other in season squash, grated or shredded
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup oat bran
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 24 mini muffin cups or 12 standard muffin cups.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in the bananas, eggs, and then slowly add the dry ingredients. Stir in the carrots and squash. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
