Today I Made.....




Carrot Zucchini Pineapple Whole Wheat Muffins
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar (granulated)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 8 oz. can drained crushed pineapple
3 cups wheat flour 
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. nutmeg

Mix eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla together in one bowl. Stir in the fruit and veggies. In a separate bowl, mix up the remaining dry ingredients. Add the dry mix to the wet mix. Bake at 350 degrees for--
25-30 mins for muffins
45-60 mins for bread pans




James and I thought they were absolutely delicious.  I think next time though, I want to play around with the recipe a bit to reduce the amount of sugar and oil.  Maybe by substituting a little bit of applesauce?

I found the recipe on an online November 2007 birth board.  According to the other Moms, their babies can't get enough of these muffins, so I was really excited to offer one to Milan for her afternoon snack.



I told Milan I'd made her something really tasty and she was going to love it!




Well..... she didn't.  I swear this child can detect vegetables a mile away.



She picked up the remaining pieces of muffin and quietly tossed them off the side of her highchair.  



The End.

Every kid has their talents, right? I'm actually shocked because Ellie can't get enough of them. She almost prefers them over bananas. Almost.
