These mini muffins, with the addition of fruit and veggies, are for finicky toddlers. My son is two and has been eating these for a year. I always keep a supply in the freezer. He loves them frozen, especially when new teeth are coming in! Adults love them, too. They're great for playgroups! The recipe makes 24 mini muffins or 12 regular-size muffins.
