Notes
Nutrition
Yields approximately 72 mini cupcakes. Freezes beautifully.
*The smell while baking is less than pleasant. Sorry.
**I tasted them and they’re not awful, but they have an interesting veggie-esque aftertaste. My kids BEG for them though… I’ve included the videos as proof!

I am not going near them. I’ll take your word for it, but I just can’t do it.

That`s so funny. These have a LOT of veggies in them, too! I usually make zucchini brownies, using grated zucchini, and pumpkin raisin bars . . . but I`m also blessed with children that do like veggies. My 3 year old even asks for salad!

I just don’t know if it would fool my very picky 6 year old! He’s even particular about which chocolate chip cookies he’ll eat!

Hmmmmm-
Not sure Merrick would dig it.
I will have to try.

Brilliant! Mine are a little older than yours, I think they would suspect something.
