So I have a couple of fussy eaters in my house who think that vegetables and most 'healthy food' are disgusting. They would rather go to bed an hour early or do chores than eat a piece of broccoli.
So I'm all for hiding vegetables and healthy foods in meals just to break up the usual "ewww vegetable" dinner time compliments they throw my way.
I've been trying to eat lower carb foods lately and these came about when I was hungry, in a rush & had limited ingredients that fit what I was going for
It was a few things thrown together and I was surprised that they actually formed into something that looked pretty edible, even more so that they ended up tasting pretty good.
The kids started eyeing them off and wanted to try them. I guess anything that resembles a muffin or cupcakes appeals to most kids right?
There were no disgusted faces - even after I told them the ingredients. I was shocked.
Maybe they loved them, maybe they just wanted to steal my food.🤷♀️ Either way, they were easy to make and pretty good so I thought I would share.
