I wonder if you could do the same thing with sweet potatoes. That seems like it'd be tastier with blueberry muffins.</p> <p>2) Replace all the oil with the same measurement of applesauce or pureed pears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-add-veggies-to-boxed-muffin-mix#post-1873192 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:20:26 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1873192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe cutting down the oil by half, adding purée, then just enough water to get the batter to the right consistency? I'm winging it! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-add-veggies-to-boxed-muffin-mix#post-1873184 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:17:44 +0000 looch 1873184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe you can replace the oil with applesauce, or other similar puree, I'd probably start there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-add-veggies-to-boxed-muffin-mix#post-1873183 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:17:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1873183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I'll try it - thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-add-veggies-to-boxed-muffin-mix#post-1873181 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:16:25 +0000 mamimami 1873181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, no IDEA in this case BUT in the case of brownies and black beans, you can sub all the oil, water and eggs in one mix batch for black beans pureed with water. So maybe that is a place to start? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-add-veggies-to-boxed-muffin-mix#post-1873150 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 13:54:30 +0000 Mamaof2 1873150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS likes blueberry muffins from a box - its easy so don't judge :wink: </p> <p>Anyway I thought I would try to add some veggies to it and saw online that baby food works well but I cant figure out how to replace the liquids in the box with the baby food - all the recipes I find are from scratch.</p> <p>This is the liquid I add:</p> <p>1/2 Cup Water</p> <p>1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil</p> <p>3 Eggs</p> <p>any ideas on how to sub? </p>
