Picky Eaters.  My kids are the WORST.  It’s like alarms and sirens go off anytime anything that’s remotely good for them is placed within a 5 inch radius.  Do you feel my pain?

If so, you NEED these muffins in your life.  They’re full of good veggies and fiber, and the best part is that they don’t even taste like it.  Your kids will not turn up their noses at these toddler muffins.  I can pretty much guarantee it!  (They may also like these yummy Strawberry Banana Yogurt Muffins, too!)My kids happily devour them any chance they’re given.
