Chocolate-vegetables muffins

February 25, 2014 por Carolina Rojas 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe

My oldest son, who is 4 year old, has lately been super selective about what to eat. Long ago the food was not an issue, because he used to eat everything that I prepared to him. But his taste suddenly changed, and he’s no longer much of a “friend” of vegetables. So, in this situation one should manage to figure out ideas to get them to eat a little bit of everything, mainly fruits and vegetables. Well, it was because of this that I came up with these muffins, as every child obviously loves sweet things, and if it is made of chocolate, much better! Hence, I made the perfect mix between what he wants and what mom wants, which is why I added zucchini and carrots. Amazingly, my son didn’t even realize that the muffins had these two ingredients, not from the taste nor the texture. He loved them, they were really delicious, ideal for children.
