I used 1/4 cup packed brown sugar instead of the honey and the sweetness is just about right for us. If you decide to make zucchini muffins at some point, make sure to drain the shredded zucchini for awhile before mixing it in, otherwise the batter will be too wet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2465067 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 19:25:19 +0000 lady grey 2465067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: thanks I'll see if I can find this recipe online!<br /> @PurplePeony: nice! I haven't tried carrot muffins with DS yet, will check it out.<br /> @SLR: I'll see if I can find a good on online, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461456 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 18:21:33 +0000 SLR 2461456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3yo really likes pumpkin zucchini muffins. I don't have one specific recipe that I use though. I usually just get one online and tweak it a bit to cut back on sugar or sub in some whole wheat flour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461447 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:52:17 +0000 PurplePeony 2461447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is currently obsessed with these: <a href="http://www.melskitchencafe.com/healthy-applesauce-carrot-muffins-a-k-a-carrot-cake-muffins/" rel="nofollow">http://www.melskitchencafe.com/healthy-applesauce-carrot-muffins-a-k-a-carrot-cake-muffins/</a>. I usually sub yogurt for half the applesauce and cut the honey way down -- last time I halved it and thought they were still too sweet so next time I'll probably use 2-3 tablespoons and see how it goes. I think they're good with all whole wheat flour but DD doesn't like them so dense, so I either use white whole wheat or 1 cup regular whole wheat plus 1/2 cup all-purpose. I bet it would be great with 1/2 cup WW, 1/2 cup all-purpose, and 1/2 cup coarsely ground oats, too! I might try that next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461439 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:39:21 +0000 gingerbebe 2461439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make America's Test Kitchen's oatmeal muffins but no streusel topping, add cinnamon to the batter and cut the sugar down to like half. And then I add raisins or currants to the batter. My son needs the calories so I keep all the fats in recipes. Finely minced pecans could be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461402 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:23:12 +0000 lady grey 2461402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: looks great, thanks! I guess I could put in raisins instead of choco chips.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461401 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:23:06 +0000 Ms. RV 2461401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use this recipe for muffins sometimes, except I use unsweetened applesauce instead of butter and omit the sugar entirely. Shredded carrots also work well instead of bananas.<br /> <a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/banana_bread/" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/banana_bread/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-friend-muffin-recipes#post-2461389 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 16:09:23 +0000 MenagerieMama 2461389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like these!
