Kid-Friendly Carrot-Zucchini Muffins

Hello, friends! I hope that you are having a wonderful week. As for me, life still feels like it exploded and I’m still dreadfully sick; but on the other hand, I have much to be grateful for and I am focusing on that instead.

This afternoon, I did something that I haven’t done in forever — I baked! I’ve been having to get really creative about sneaking vegetables to the kids these days, especially Roman. If he so much as spots something green, he goes running! I am praying that it’s a phase that will eventually pass, but in the meantime, I’m getting as creative as I can.

I got the idea to sneak some veggies into muffins because generally my kids love muffins. I mean, who doesn’t? I also let them get involved through the entire process to build the excitement. It paid off immensely because the muffins were a hit. I started off with this recipe and added some extra of each ingredient to compensate for the shredded carrot and zucchini that I added in. Also, we used chocolate chips instead of walnuts, but if you want to keep your muffins paleo-friendly, you can ditch the chocolate and stick with nuts.

I hope that you will love the recipe as much as we did. Even more I hope that you enjoyed these pictures. I’m staring at them now and thinking about how big my babies have gotten… must be all of those veggies. 😉

Lots of Love,
Dena
